This has been a month filled with some trials and many triumphs. This month, I have witnessed a little bit of magic each day, with each Black History month program, and in each of those who participated and supported our efforts.
In this short 28 days, we dined with Hollywood Stars and were enlightened by the shining wisdom of campus alumni who've come back to share the knowledge...To write their names in the books of history.
From right here in our little corner of the world, we traveled. Circumventing the globe through music, poetry, film, dance and the spoken/written word. From Uganda to Europe. From South Central to MidTown USA. We've honored our illustrious history and acknowledged our bright and shining future.
It has been exhausting both physically and emotionally. It has been extraordinarily rewarding on all levels. Each year, I think to myself that I cannot do it this time. I don't have the energy or the time. Then I think of those who went before me. Who never had the opportunity, or should I say luxury, of being "tired". That was not a choice. And I don't have a choice either, because as the path was paved for me, it is my duty to keep laying bricks and pavement for those who come after me to walk on.
Our journey is one rich with culture, family and sincere love.
Forward ever...
