Thank you for visiting the site for the Association of African American Single Mothers. This organization exists to educate, empower and encourage
African Americans and to end the stereotypes and perceptions of Black People in America. African American's have played a vital part in making
America the wealthy nation it is today. The study of Black History has been lost and we hope to revitalize its significance.
The goal of the AAASM is to help single mothers living in poverty. As we do that, we help people everywhere. All of our services are made available
to all people regardless of race or religion. Poverty has no racial preference, it affects all people and as such, we reach out to all people.
Your comments and concerns are very important to us. Feel free to send your comments to Director, Stacey F. Johnson at director@aaasm.org.

Communities of Hope is a community economic development program that provides an adaptable,
innovative approach to the reduction of poverty in low and moderate-income communities. It is our
goal to see Communities of Hope as the Nations leading exemplary practices program in the
elimination of poverty across America. 90% of all single parent homes headed by women live in
poverty so it is very important that we do our best to improve low income communities.
We focus on eliminating the causes and effects of poverty in the twenty states experiencing the highest
levels of poverty. Community partnerships with residents, business, and Government offices on State
and Federal levels are vital in the success of the program. The program will mandate that residents of
each community be given an opportunity to play a part in the development of their community program.
Various committees will work in concert to determine which factors of poverty are having the greatest
effect on each community. That information will be used to create and then disseminate strategies for
community economic development that work best for each community and its unique set of
circumstances. Access to program research, strategies, partners and results will be made available
for distribution on a national level.
Faced with conditions of poverty, individuals are unable to live their lives in the manner that they
choose. These conditions include low incomes, low levels of education, lack of access to information,
lack of political power, and lack of health care. Living in poverty almost always leads to unequal social
status, social exclusion, dependency, and diminished capacity to participate and to develop
meaningful connections with other people in society. In the United States in 2006, the poverty rate for
minors was the highest in the industrialized world with 21.9% of all minors and 30% of African
American minors living below the poverty threshold. Today, the numbers are even higher.

Natomas High: The of the Nation's Leading
Failing Schools
March 9, 2010: Director of the AAASM, Stacey
F. Johnson is becoming more vocal on the
issues of Black apathy in the Black
Community and more specifically where she
lives in Natomas.
She feels that both families and schools are
at fault for the state of education Natomas.
Neither parents nor schools have ever been
proactive in solving school or family ills.
Ms. Johnson is not surprised to hear the
finding that Natomas High is tops on the
Nation’s list of failing schools. Both sons
Freddie & Christopher attended Natomas
High and each faced years of disrespect and
a lockdown/department of corrections
atmosphere each day.
Ms. Johnson has been trying to work with
both the Sacramento and Natomas Unified
School districts since 2007 when she was
approached by the Principle of Hollywood
Park Elementary School. At that time, he was
concerned that even though all the other
cultural groups were increasing academic
scores, Blacks students continued to fail in
larger numbers each year.
Ms. Johnson began a quest to bring her
programs to the schools and students with
not even an ounce of cooperation on the part
of either district. For years, she has tried to
capture the attention of any of the school’s
officials in an effort to do something about
the state of minority children and families.
Ms. Johnson goes on to state, “Natomas
High has a problem because for years, they
have had more of an interest in having a
police presence instead of one that nurtured
tolerance and learning.”
