As human beings we are always quick to say who we like as musicians, actors, and famous people in general. We often give these people praise for something that in the greater scheme of things is doing nothing to better the world we live in. This statement is not to descredit anyone, but I refuse to believe that one more remix of "We Fly High" is going to better society.
So today, I'd like to give props to a group of young ladies who are making an actual contribution to this world. For the last 3 years, I've served as a student leader intern in the Children's Defense Fund Freedom School program. And rather reflect on all of the negative I've seen in Black America, I want to recognize the spirit of Harriet Tubman, Ella Baker, Betty Shabazz and countless others living through the positive black sisters that I've met during my time with Freedom School. Cause honestly, I don't know where the black race would be without strong black women. And oh baby, please believe I worked with six of the strongest sisters I know this past summer. And I haven't even mentioned the ones I met from K.C., Jersey, STL, ATL, Minnesota, D.C, Texas, and New York. Just meeting you all made me appreciate so much more about what I love about my own skin color and it's history. Continue to do what you do and may God bless each and everyone of you I met and especially the ones I worked with. I love ya.

And for those of you I don't have a picture in the slide show, I'm sorry. I'll make sure to get more up soon. Peace.
