STORY OR EXPERIENCE THAT DEFINED YOUR JOURNEY AS A BLACK MAN.
It’s hard to look back and say one particular story defines my journey, especially when I’m still on the journey.  All things come together and I don’t believe I’ve reached the tipping point to where I understand it all.  I think that is the beauty and difficulty.  My experience is defined by holding on to hope for things not yet realized.

WHAT MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE A BLACK MAN?
You can’t tear us down.  Hit us a million times and we find a way to take another step.

HOW CAN BLACK MEN WIN IN AMERICA?
By coming together.  Sharing resources.  Realizing it’s not a competition but each person using their gifts to push the whole forward.  It’s enough for everybody to win.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE?
Do not get weary in doing good for you shall reap the reward if you do not give up.

DEAR BLACK MAN…
You will reap the rewards if you do not give up.
