Meet the Creator of Kooli Randall Law

Austin Tang — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 17:29:10 +0000

Listen to “Meet the Creator of Kooli Randall Law” on Spreaker.

Randall Law

Is a creator in the truest sense of the word—someone who doesn’t just imagine what could be, but builds it for the people who need it most.

Born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, Randall’s journey blends creativity, purpose, and an unshakable commitment to legacy. He is the creator of the Kool World mascot, Kooli a character that has grown into a movement rooted in inclusion, confidence, and community pride.

Before Kooli ever stepped into the world, Randall’s creative path stretched across national platforms. His work includes appearances in national commercials and campaigns connected to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, DrugFreeWorld.org, and multiple GOOD Magazine projects. Along the way, his impact and leadership earned him recognition such as the 2025 Excellence in Public Service Award, 2024 MILLSUMMIT Impact Award, 2023 DBT 40 Under 40, and the 2022 400 Years of African American History Commission Award. He is also a proud graduate of the prestigious James H. Gilliam Fellows Program through the Wilmington Urban League.

Today, Randall Law continues to lead with intention as a father, husband, entrepreneur, and sought-after motivational speaker. Through K-12 schools, special events, and community programs, he challenges young people including adults to dream bigger, think differently, and believe out loud.

His guiding motto says it all:

“Let’s make the world KOOL again.”

The Birth of Kooli: From Idea to Impact

The idea for Kooli didn’t start as a mascot, it started as a question.

While building his apparel brand Kool Kolored Kid Generation, Randall asked himself: What am I really trying to do?

The answer was simple, yet powerful: change the world.

In 2022, inspired by iconic character-driven brands and symbols that unite people across cultures, Randall began sketching a character. The early concept was influenced by classic cartoons like Bart Simpson, but the vision quickly evolved into something bigger—something global.

During a late-night brainstorming session, with music playing from one of his favorite artists, J. Cole, Randall heard the lyric “Cole World” from the song Who Dat. In that moment, it sounded like “Cool World.” That spark changed everything.

“Cool World” became Kool World—a name that aligned perfectly with Kool Kolored Kid Generation. Randall removed the head from the original sketch and replaced it with the Earth, symbolizing unity, diversity, and shared responsibility. He dressed the character in KKKG apparel, and for the first time, Kooli had an identity.

But the mission didn’t fully reveal itself until Randall visited Nemours Children’s Health after a back-to-school initiative. Inside the hospital, he noticed children who rarely, if ever, got the chance to leave. He walked away asking a new question:

How can I bring the joy, inspiration, and community impact from outside the walls—inside?

That moment turned courage into action. Randall pitched the idea of a purpose-driven mascot to Nemours—one designed to engage hospitals, schools, and community spaces while inspiring kids and families to believe in their own power to create change.

kooli is high fived as he enters.

Kooli Steps Into the World

On August 10, 2024, Kooli made his official debut at the 100 Pairs to Give x3 event at William Penn High School—standing tall in front of 400+ attendees, students from four school districts, families, and community leaders. Kooli was welcomed alongside other beloved mascots, marking the beginning of something historic.

Just months later, in December 2024, KKKG partnered with Main Event, Londyn’s Corner, and Ambitious Pathways to launch Kooli’s Corner Christmas Giveaway, serving 100 foster children and their families with unlimited games, food, gifts, and unforgettable memories.

In just one year, Kooli has appeared at 37 events and engaged more than 18,092 individuals—and the journey is only getting started.

Randall’s story and Kooli’s stand as proof that when creativity meets courage, and purpose meets action, joy can become a legacy that touches generations.

GOOD NEWS CLASSIC MOVIE: Ratman vs. Bobin Movie 1966 featuring Sleepy Hollow High School back in the 60s.

editor — Mon, 10 Nov 2025 14:29:01 +0000

Sleepy Hollow High School Classic of 1967 Ratman vs. Bobin Movie. A Classic. Don’t Miss it, Golly Gee!

Ratman vs. Bobin a CLASSIC film created in 1966 at Sleepy Hollow High School. Overseeing the production was Peter Smallman, Henry Steiner, a bunch of young determined classmates and teachers who all wanted to have fun and WE DID! The guiding principle stated below was how we lived back in those days and we were fortunate to have such a wonderful home to grow up in.

Paul Sladkus

At Sleepy Hollow High School we are guided by our district mission statement.

It is our mission to work with our community and business partners to maintain the highest standards of learning. Together we will provide students with the opportunity, knowledge and resources to meet our complex world.

and…

We are governed by our guiding principles:

*The Keys to Being Successful*
*For Students:*
*Be Here…*	*Every Class, Every Day*
*Be Prepared…*	*To Do Your Best Work*
*Be Respectful…*	*Of Self and Others*
*Be Positive…*	*Think You Can, and You Will*
*For Parents:*
*Be Involved…*	*Call and Visit Often*

About Our School

Located in southern Westchester county, approximately 20 miles north of New York City, and standing above the east bank of the Hudson River, Sleepy Hollow High School serves approximately 850 ethnically and socio-economically diverse students in grades 9 through 12 from the villages of Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown.

We have become a community of choice for families who value our “snap shot” of the real world: Our community is a destination point for families immigrating from the Caribbean and Latin America, and home to families who have been in our villages for generations; families who can afford to send their children to any one of a number of private schools in the area, choose instead to have their children attend our public school. Collectively, these families created and provide continuous support for The Foundation for the Public Schools of the Tarrytowns, which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to supplement our educational program.

In October 1957, Sleepy Hollow High School was the focus of an article “New buildings won’t educate your children” in Woman’s Day magazine. Although the 1957 physical plant was deemed “as handsome a high school as any in America,” the renovated curriculum was recognized as enabling our graduates to have “a better chance today than ever before to become all that they are capable of.” While our sprawling building on its scenic campus had been well maintained and consistently upgraded, it experienced many of the facilities restrictions of comparable structures built in the 1950s and has undergone major renovations and expansion over the last two years: One hundred thousand square feet of state-of-the-art science labs, art studios, a gymnasium that boasts a fitness center and dedicated wrestling room, an auditorium that seats 750 and provides professional quality sound and light engineering, a renovated and expanded Library Media Center, a cafeteria with a food court, wireless capability throughout the building, and more than 20 new classrooms now overlook the Hudson River. All pre-existing classrooms are refurbished, outfitted with Smartboards, and white boards have replaced 1957 black boards. What hasn’t changed since 1957 is the public and academic communities’ shared belief that there is “no substitute for a solid foundation” in education. Sleepy Hollow curriculum is continually examined and adjusted to meet or exceed best-practices.

In 2008, Sleepy Hollow was selected by the Magellan foundation to represent one of three exemplary New York State high schools to have programs and practices that lead to high graduation and low drop-out rates. Sleepy Hollow was among the top 40 from over 640 schools to reach benchmark graduation rate standards and was one of five exemplary high schools chosen for in-depth research, study, and visitation by the Magellan Foundation. In 2009, the United States Department of Education featured us on their website “Doing What Works” as one of five schools nationally identified as putting best practices in action to achieve graduation.

Our comprehensive high school programs are designed to meet the needs of each adolescent we serve. We build relationships with our students and their families that guide everyone through the stress and strife of adolescence. Thriving athletic and performing arts programs are complemented by an extensive extra curricular program. A new source of pride is our award winning student-produced Multimedia Production Team, recipient of Honorable Mention in the Adobe Max competition for professional international media developers; Sleepy Hollow’s team came in second to Homeland Security and NASA Space Center. In 2008, the team has produced over 14 hours of programming for our local educational channel 77; check it out at www.sleepyhollowhits.com.

We have established extensive partnerships with local colleges, corporations, and the community at large. Support from local historical and business resources has made our community an extension of our campus; students conduct research and participate in internships as an integral part of our academic program.

Our creativity and commitment has been acknowledged through consistently passed local school budgets, and the award of state, federal, and private foundation grants. Locally, smaller grants have provided funding for cultural trips for students, added instruments to our band and orchestra, audio equipment for our multimedia students, robotic kits for AP Physics students, a gardening component to our Life Skills curriculum for our most handicapped students, and provided a weather station for our Earth Science students.

We are proud of our students’ records of accomplishment. An impressive percentage of students from the Class of 2009—89%—continued their studies in higher education. In the recent past, our top students have matriculated at Emory, Wesleyan, Brown, Cornell, Georgetown, Northwestern, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, USC, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Vassar, Stanford, Tufts, and Middlebury. We are equally proud of the many first generation graduates we send to local and community colleges. Annually, our students earn an impressive number of scholarship dollars, averaging in excess of $280,000 in each of the last five years.

A key factor to our success is the involvement of our parents in their children’s education; parents feel welcome at our school. Our PTSA sponsors Parent-to-Parent Nights. These events, offered in English and Spanish, enable parents to share strategies for raising a teenager. The PTSA, The Foundation, and our Sports and Performing Arts Boosters raise funds for our curricular and extra curricular programs. Our Parenting Center, located in the heart of the village, provides information about all district schools and a wide range of support for parents.

Sleepy Hollow is an exciting place for students and staff to work and learn together. If any school community can demonstrate that public education is alive and well, it is ours. Our school slogan, “Sleepy Hollow, Say it Proudly” sums up the collective commitment to our school.

Diamonds in the South Bronx

Austin Tang — Thu, 29 May 2025 19:37:34 +0000

Listen to “Diamonds in the South Bronx” on Spreaker.

By: Paul Sladkus
Located in the Crotona Park section in the South Bronx sits a hidden gem in
Bronx Prep High School, a representative of the Democracy Prep charter system.
On a rainy April evening the clouds parted and the sun shined for a group of
students who were given the opportunity to be front and center for a
performance of Romeo & Juliet at the Metropolitan Opera as well as we’re given
an opportunity to meet with members of the MET team for a “behind the scenes”
adventure within the arts.
School leadership led by Principal, Cassius Gil has set Bronx Prep apart from the
rest of the D.O.E. through offering opportunities that many NYC students are not
afforded. ““I am very very happy to be able to send kids to an incredible
experience at the Metropolitan Opera and be able to watch Romeo &
Juliet. Teachers jumped at it, kids jumped at the chance”. Gil went on to say, “one
child, when she came back, told me at the end of it that she stood up and cried”.
MET representative, Jess Medoff, discussed career opportunities and answered
questions to an audience of bright-eyed high schoolers from Bronx Prep, thrilled
at having seen a performance that they all proclaimed exceeded their wildest
expectations.
BP senior, Shenoa Urbaez Romero states, “Going to the Met has been one of the
best experiences I have had all year, I was able to explore an artistic environment
that I had dreamed of visiting”.
By all accounts, this event came to pass through a leader who quietly works with
these students on a regular basis as a guest teacher in addition to his regular job
as the Chief Financial Officer of the international investment platform, Alpha
Innovations. Philanthropist and champion for kids / for the arts, Gene Fisch, Jr.,
when asked of his motivation to orchestrate this endeavor stated that, “We grow
through being exposed to opportunities and kids just need that chance, the
chance to fall in love with music, with set design, with lighting. It is one thing to
read Romeo & Juliet, now let us immerse them into the experience! Have them
close their eyes and let the words permeate throughout their bodies! Bam! You
fall in love! Let’s show kids a world of awesomeness that transcends the
neighborhood”.
Democracy Prep’s system includes twelve schools across Harlem and the Bronx in
NYC as well as campuses in Nevada and Texas.
While interviewing the students we saw that most had never seen a performance
of this nature, not because they would not want to, the opportunity had just not
been afforded to them. Society and the educational system typically fall short
when including all its young people the opportunity to experience
possibilities. Such a substantial portion of NYC’s students struggle in the core
areas of education which becomes a tremendous obstacle to overcome. A recent
article by Julian Shen-Berro in Chalkbeat stated that “Roughly 50% proficient on
reading, math exams, data shows”. “Though 51.7% of the city’s third through
eighth grade students were considered on grade level based on their reading
exam scores, and 49.9% were on grade level for math, student performances
diverged across grades. Eighth grade students, for example, fared worse on math
exams — with just 42.3% achieving proficiency, compared to 55% of third
graders.”
It is through the efforts of institutions such as Bronx Prep and leaders such as
Cassius Gil and Gene Fisch, Jr. that can help improve upon these results and
overcome the deficiencies within the system.
Gene Fisch, Jr. went on to say, “kids learn from what they hear and sometimes
make pre-judgements based on how people look or what culture they come
from. Maybe if we educate children to judge people by their actions towards
them versus what they are told to believe the heritages represent, society will be
the better for it and we can eliminate a small portion of hate in the world.”
Drop the mic.
Kudos to Gene Fisch Jr, and the entire community of Democracy Prep. All are
diamonds in the South Bronx

Back to School Edition 2024

Austin Tang — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 15:12:20 +0000

What’s Driving the News: The 2024 back to school season is starting off HOT, and it doesn’t seem to be cooling down any time soon. As students excitedly return to the classroom, schools must balance maintaining a comfortable learning environment in the face of extended warm seasons.

Why This Matters: The nation’s schools annually emit as much carbon as 18 coal plants or 8 million homes, according to an analysis of U.S. Department of Energy data by the advocacy group Generation180. But K-12 schools and district leaders across the country are in the unique position to equip students with the knowledge and preparation for a future shaped by climate change. In addition, they have considerable carbon reduction possibilities being major building owners, transportation managers, and employers. Leveraging the power of schools and their district leaders would simultaneously have significant carbon reductions as well as introduce low carbon alternatives as a norm for students.

Like what you see or want an interview with one of our experts? Get in touch with Daria Richman Price!

In Conversation

Community solar is a great way for schools to achieve their sustainability goals while also significantly reducing their energy costs. According to Generation180, the amount of solar installed at K-12 schools in the United States has tripled since 2015. Today, over 6 million students attend a solar-powered school, and it is not hard to see why so many school administrators are turning to solar. At the university level, it also creates unique educational opportunities to prepare college students for well-paying jobs in a fast-growing industry, such as learning how to install solar panels. Pivot Energy is currently working with the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Denver (DU) to offset the schools’ electricity consumption with on-campus and off-site net metering solar projects. At DU, the off-site projects will be used for student learning opportunities to advance the clean energy workforce. Mat Elmore, SVP Strategic Accounts at Pivot Energy, can discuss the growing role schools and workforce development have in the clean energy transition.

Literary Prestige Award-Winning Author Pens a Unique Trilogy on Slavery and the Civil War- Marvin Blake

Austin Tang — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 13:12:45 +0000

Listen to “Literary Prestige Award-Winning Author Pens a Unique Trilogy on Slavery and Civil War- Marvin Blake” on Spreaker.

A trilogy of historical fiction that examines the United States before, during, and after the Civil War, through the eyes of the whites, the black-slaves, and Indians, provides fascinating insight into the soul of 19th century America that has relevance today.

“The novels comprising my 19th century “Trilogy”, are intended to inform through entertainment,” says author Marvin V. Blake. “While many of the characters are real, the history is pure, and the ideas behind the story are very real and important. People need to see what slavery was really like, through the eyes of those who were slaves.”

The series examines three co-existing 19th-century American cultures – the defeatist South’s response to the post-Civil War era of reconstruction, the former Black slaves who are attempting to adjust to life as freedmen, and the noble nomadichunter-gatherer society of the Plains Indians fighting to defend and to maintain their way of life.

“I have all of my adult life, served and loved this country,” says Blake, a US Navy veteran. “I think it is important that readers learn about our nation’s history, especially what it was like a century-and-a-half ago when the country was ripped apart by a civil war, slavery, and the United States’ 19th century policies towards Indians…Native Americans.”

About Marvin V. Blake
Following his graduation from Baltimore’s Southern – High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy. During his more than six years of active duty, in the Navy, Marvin attended and graduated from the US Navy’s Hospital Corps School, and the US Navy School of Medical Technology.
Following his discharge from the Navy, he earned his undergraduate Degree from Long Island University, and his graduate Degree from New York’s New School University. His long professional career was spent as a senior hospital administrator of several prestigious teaching medical centers in NYC and Nassau County. He also taught Immunohematology, as an Adjunct Professor of Biology in the City of New York (CUNY), college system. In 2002, after 9/11, Marvin decided to once again serve his country. He sought and took the position of Administrative Officer, Dept of Pathology, and Laboratory Medicine for the New York and the Brooklyn VA Medical Centers. For more info, see www.booksbymarvinblake.com.

About The Books
The first book, why: A Novel, provides a gripping and potent tale of choice, racism, and equality.
The story revolves around two young sisters – one a black-slave, the other, a white owner of slaves; Both girls are fathered by the same white-man – the rich, white plantation owner. Despite their not knowing that they are sisters; despite antebellum Southern law, despite seemingly unsurmountable societal barriers; the girls forge an unshakeable-bond. A bond that sustains them—when together, as young teens—are captured and enslaved by Comanche Indians. A bond that they need to survive, and to ultimately each, gain their freedom.

The second book, E. Pluribus Unum: From Many, One, is a spellbinding story of love and loss, oppression, and freedom in the lives of men and women fighting for the survival of a young nation. It is about two people – one is a slave boy and the other a white woman slave owner – whose preordained statuses in life were at diametrically opposite ends of the South’s Antebellum society. Two people with absolutely nothing in common now had lives that were inexorably linked.

Precious (In His Sight), the third book, tells of the myriad 19thcentury life-altering US government-sanctioned and implemented changes that followed the Civil War’s conclusion,
Adjustments, programs, implemented…mistakes made. One step forward, two steps back. Progress achieved,

The interactions between cultures shaping the ‘Re-United States of America, through the eyes…and the lives of the heterogeneous peoples…Red; Brown; Yellow; Black and White,all essential members…of the American-People
