This can easily work against you as when you say something hurtful in a heated moment. But if you can connect to the injustice of your personal predicament and make a sense of transgression motivate your work for a better life you will have less fear of failure and more energy in your efforts.

As a recruiter, my path connected with a diverse range of people from different socioeconomic backgrounds and cultures. It was a vital experience I believe now that I needed then to help me realize that I just do not want to help people that can afford help and know where to find help, but I want to help people who may not speak English and have no parents to guide them. I have made the decision that I want to establish my own community organization to fit the needs of the people that I believe have extenuating experiences. The people that often get lost in translation or forgotten in the system. The people that are stuck in a standstill position due to some inadequacy that prevents growth. I am constantly discouraged by my family because they fell that only the bourgeois deserve a chance at success. Many fail to realize those bourgeois that you idolize started from nothing, without college degrees and 1 person in their life that told them they could do it. Example: Russell Simmons, Sean Combs, Sean Carter, Harriet Tubman, Oprah Winfrey, and so on and so forth. They did not have the advantage; however, they made a way out of no way with very few supporters and a strong determination. When will Black America open their eyes to the endless possibilities of unity. We are all God's people and we have all been chosen to be heirs to the throne.

I knew once I started my own business that I would never be laid off again and I would have the artist and finacial freedom that I crave, and that I would LOVE going in to work, instead of staring at the clock and waiting to be released.

There's just way too many examples of people knowing history but ignoring the pattern of their actions. " I will not rear my children with this mindset nor will I encourage it in those around me." to me this is an awesome outlook to have. We should just be open to experiences period, not defined by limiting parameters. Who defines 'what black people do', anyway? “They say ignorance allows history to repeat itself, well what is the excuse after being amply educated?”

I can not believe how close-minded our ancestors have become. I thought the fight was over after so many great leaders died for the cause and yet 50 years later our activists who fought the good fight are reverting back. They say ignorance allows history to repeat itself, well what is the excuse after being amply educated? I will not allow myself to be conscientiously ignorant. I will not rear my children with this mindset nor will I encourage it in those around me. In order to be an example you have to live what you teach , not recite words without meaning. I try my best to give all men, women and children equality and I hope that my children will keep this in their hearts long after I am gone. It’s as if you read my mind.
