DARE TO BE DIFFERENT... In light of everything else, I am God's property and I can be and do all things according to His power. I am excited about my future because it's in His hands. However, currently, I am being educated at the University of St. Thomas on a full scholarship to become an educator. I am, at the same time, working two jobs (both of which are wonderful blessings)--one as a youth minister for a United Methodist church, and one as a specialist at the YWCA. I am passionate about changing Black America--for real. I am effecting this change (by the Grace of God) by working from the grassroots--with young Black boys and men themselves. For whatever reason, God seems to be gifting me (because I do not consider myself "cool") to attract, retain, teach, train, and mentor African-American males to break the vicious cycle that has so many of our Black males bound. ...And it appears to be working; I am very excited. Perhaps I cannot effect national change immediately, but affecting/molding boys who will--in turn--affect and mold others is a start. I love it and I thank God for allowing me the privilege to get paid to do it (even though I do it for free also). Pardon my "squareness," but this is my passion.
