Obama and friend.

I love this picture. This picture says so much. The most important influence of having a black president is the self esteem of our young black men. Seeing Obama in office sends the message that we don't have to subscribe to the statistics - we can do whatever we want in life.

Only Fools Do The Same Thing Twice

Believe it or not, I know people who have never left The Bronx. I mean who have never been on a subway and gone to Brooklyn. Never been to Central Park! For over 40 years, these people have lived in the same neighborhood, worked in the same neighborhood, and never experienced anything different from what they did the day before. Can you imagine how limited your life would be if you only saw the same people every single day of your life? SMH at the thought of it. I think about when I went to China and how much that one trip influenced me to do and try different things. Or going to Cali.
