"I launched this particular iteration of my HBBO in 2003," Jordan said, "the third restructuring of a strategy that began in 1979.

This personal and professional development strategy began in December 1968, following my final release from prison, after spending all but about 20 months of the 1960s incarcerated. The 40 years since my release include the following career highlights: more than 30 years as a professional writer that include work for local, regional and national publications. The newspapers I've worked for include The Carolina Peacemakerin Greensboro, NC; The Carolina Times in Durham; the Carolinian in Raleigh; the Wilmington(NC) Star-News and the Charlotte (NC) Observer.

During this time, I also helped to launch two small regional magazines in South Carolina, and bought another one that published for a brief time in eastern North Carolina. More than 10 years as an adjunct college professor and guest lecturer. My collegiate teaching career began in 1983 in the Continuing Education department at Duke University where I taught a course entitled Write for Profit. After that I taught similar courses at Wake Technical Community College, Southeastern Community College,and Durham Technical Community College before joinging the adjunct faculty at Campbell University in 1987. I taught regularly at Campbell University until the end of the 1996 academic year. For the final two years of that time, I also served as advisor to the University's award winning yearbook. In 1989, I began a similar adjunct position at North Carolina Central University where i taught until 1998. I have also lectured at Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, NC; Clark College in Atlanta, the University of Houston, Benedict College in Columbia (SC) and NC State University in Raleigh (NC).

During my time in Wilmington, North Carolina, and after resigning as a staff writer with the Wilmington Star-News, where among other issues, I covered the world-famous Wilmington 10 case, I was also coordinator of a grant-financed program called The Rumor Control Center. I also recruited students and taught in the Night High School Program that eventually evolved into the Extended Day program in public schools across the state. More than 22 years working part time in radio and television. I began this work in 1973 when I produced Wilmington's first television public affairs program that focused on issues in the African American community. We called the program "The Black Beat." I also worked as the first station manager for Wilmington's first "soul" (aka urban contemporary) radio wation--WWIL-FM. During this period, and after leaving Wilmington, I sold radio advertising for a similar station in Fayetteville (NC) WIDU. Since 1982, I have been a regular guest on three news/public affairs programs produced at the UNC Center for Public Television, including Black Issues Foruj where I also served a contracted researcher/writer for more than five years.

More than three decades as a Home-Based Business Owner (HBBO), a venture I launhed after leaving the Charlotte Observer in 1979. Initialy my company was called The Writer's Grup, and following a restructuring in 1982, we became Jordan & Associates. In 2003, we restructed aain into our current configuration as KOG Unity PLUS Group

These highlights developed after a challenging early life that began in 1942 when I was born to an unmarried woman, who gve meto the local welfar department when I was nine-days-old. I started a 20-year crime career when I was five-years-old by stealing five dollars from my adopted aunt's pocketbook. After that I did something criminal almost every dy for 20 yers. I was arrested for the first time when I was 11-years-old, and went to prison for for the first time in December 1959, after dropping out of school in the 10th grade. After more than two years, I was released in May 1961, and returned to prison in August 1963 after being convicted on a charge of common-law robbery. I was paroled in December 1965, but returned to prison with new charges, including parole violation, in July 1966. My final release cameon December 9, 1968.
