Tempe, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/23/2011 -- International best-selling author, entrepreneur, advocate and speaker, Sharon Lechter, will serve as a keynote speaker for the Sixth annual Financial Literacy Week in Kampala, Uganda, to be held from September 28th through October 1st, 2011.

A passionate advocate of financial education, Lechter has focused her efforts on developing tools to inspire families and children to create security and build wealth. As founder of Pay Yourself First, LLC, ( http://payyourfamilyfirst.com ) and co-founder and former CEO of the Rich Dad Company, Lechter's earned continued acclaim for her work. She co-authored the popular Rich Dad Poor Dad series; and most recently, in conjunction with the Napoleon Hill Foundation, released two new books in the Think and Grow Rich series: Three Feet from Gold and Outwitting the Devil.

Uganda's Financial Literacy Week is an annual event tasked with creating public awareness regarding finances. The mission includes promoting financial discipline such as saving and investing. The ultimate goal is to eradicate the cycle of poverty, ensuring sustainable intergenerational wealth and financial freedom.

"It doesn't matter what language they speak, or what currency they use, parents everywhere want their children to succeed. The need for financial literacy is a global issue and I applaud Uganda for leading the charge in providing financial education to its young people. It is an honor and a privilege to participate in the Sixth Annual Financial Literacy Week," said Lechter.

This year organizers plan to target a variety of public service professionals including teachers, nurses, students, uniformed officers, and women groups, and will conclude with a breakfast Saturday for business leaders and diplomats.

Martin D. Muhwezi, Managing Director of the Investors Club, LTD. in Kampala, said, "Financial Literacy is the ability to make informed judgments and effective decisions regarding the use and management of money. It is a life skill that every income earner or potential income earner needs to achieve their financial goals, and live a financially comfortable life."

Welcoming Lechter with enthusiasm, Muhwezi said, "We plan to launch Financial Literacy clubs in high schools here in Uganda next year, and want to partner with Sharon to donate materials we can use to teach African youth and children the principles of money management."

Lechter will share the podium with her husband, Michael Lechter, a leading intellectual property U.S. attorney, certified licensing professional and university professor and best-selling author, who served as an advisor to the original Rich Dad series.

Film star, advocate and vocalist Tank Jones, who played the irrepressible Walter Pruitt in the short thriller, Stitched, now lends his character to Avatar’s adapted comic books series by the same name.

Tempe, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/23/2011 -- Film star, advocate and vocalist Tank Jones, who played the irrepressible Walter Pruitt in the short thriller, Stitched, now lends his character to Avatar's adapted comic books series by the same name. The first edition is scheduled for release this November.

Jones, who commutes between bases in Los Angeles and Phoenix, said, "I'm thrilled. I've been told I've achieved the 'coolest Dad around' status," said Jones. "Who doesn't want to be immortalized as comic book hero?"

A working film and television actor since 1996, Jones starred alongside Hollywood royalty the likes of George Clooney, in Three Kings. Other high profile projects include Any Given Sunday, Breaking Bad, Invasion, and the popular CSI series.

In Stitched, the fifteen-minute short thriller written by the acclaimed Garth Ennis, Jones guides co-stars Lauren Alonzo and Kate Kugler to safety after a helicopter crash in the Afghanistan mountainside. Pruitt must navigate the blistering terrain in the epicenter of Taliban-controlled territory. Bracing against hunger, thirst and injury, Pruitt refuses to give in and perseveres.

"Tank gave a terrific audition; it was obvious he instantly understood the character of Walter Pruitt. Working with him was tremendous- he delivered on every level, and I'd work with him again in a second," said Ennis.

Things take a horrific turn when trio encounters something worse than enemy fighters - an ancient supernatural power known as, The Stitched. Blood thirsting, relentless and serving a twenty-first century evil, the predators inhabit the dead and stop at nothing to destroy their prey from stem to stern, literally.

The Stitched comic book series launches with a #1 issue authored by Ennis, adapted form his original screenplay. Mike Wolfer embodies Ennis' story with gruesome imagery, and will continue to contribute to both scripting and artwork after the 6th edition. Stitched #1 is recommended for mature audiences for violence and strong language.

"It's true, Pruitt's a noble soldier who encounters an evil many are never subjected to," said Jones. "But he's motivated by his certainty that they will get home; they're going to survive, even if the Calvary never comes."

That same message resonated with Jones, himself a passionate advocate for making positive choices in the midst of adversity. In 2003, Jones founded a non-profit 501© 3 he named, Choices. "We want to convey to kids of every age is that they can practice integrity n their lives," said Jones.

"We use the 'K' purposely, to convey our belief that while no one is perfect, each person has the ability to make good choices." He often travels to Phoenix to speak to kids about issues such as peer pressure, respect and work ethic, working with school districts including Kyrene, Chandler and Tolleson.

Learn more about Choices online at http://www.ItsYourChoices.org

Jones has steadily earned household recognition of his unusual nickname - given when he was 2 - but not always for the reasons he'd prefer. Tank Jones is also the name of Levi Johnston's (of Palin family folklore) former bodyguard. "I get all sorts of calls from publications like the Enquirer. But I'm not the same guy!"

Learn more about Tank Jones online at http://www.tankjones.com

Jones is anticipating the return of his character, Walter Pruitt, in Avatar Press' new publication. Plans are in place to produce a full-length film version of Garth Ennis' Stitched, due for release in 2013.

About Stitched:
The STITCHED short film is a joint venture of Avatar Press, Spitfire Productions Ltd., and Mischief Maker Studios. For more information on the STITCHED DVD release and comic book series, please visit the website http://www.FearTheStitched.com.

Phoenix based award winning actress and producer Kimber Leigh has been cast in the lead of the independent feature film, "Serial Blondes"

Tempe, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/19/2010 -- Phoenix based award winning actress and producer Kimber Leigh has been cast in the lead of the independent feature film, "Serial Blondes". ( http://serialblondes.blogspot.com )

Serial Blondes ( http://serialblondes.blogspot.com ) is a feature length film about two young blondes who get kill-happy on a quest for revenge against men after being betrayed, only to become engrossed in their vengeance to a point of betraying each other. This dark comedy has some deep erotic thriller aspects, and will have the audience laughing all the way to the twisted ending.

Lara Houston, writer, producer, director and co-star of Serial Blondes ( http://serialblondes.blogspot.com ) commented, "I chose Kimber Leigh for the role of Rachel specifically because she possesses all of the qualities necessary to carry such a difficult and complex role. The character of Rachel has deep-rooted emotions, a vindictive evil about her, and manages to captivate you with her wit and confidence. Kimber has an incredible range of emotion, and is well-trained and experienced in digging down and capturing those emotions that she so valiantly displays on-screen. Because of her incredible talents and previous roles, I have no doubt she will pull off the vindictive and evil personality of Rachel flawlessly. I have had the opportunity to work with Kimber before, and have always been overly impressed with her abilities. I count the days until we start filming."

Serial Blondes ( http://serialblondes.blogspot.com ) is scheduled to begin filming in Phoenix later this year. Visit Serial Blondes online at http://serialblondes.blogspot.com/
