Make a difference, change the game for the better, leave a legacy, be a guide that someone else can follow and make better, and then someone else will follow that and make that better.

Be the start of something that is good, revolutionary and powerful. Everything after that is a bonus!

Following trends on social media will not lead to social consciousness.

Passive acceptance cripples our power. Working-class people with a strong united voice, and supported by formidable leadership, pose a TREMENDOUS threat to companies that amass riches by hiding behind lax regulations and the arrogant assumption we are too intimidated or uninformed to speak up.

As leaders in our communities and voices of the people, we must use our platforms judiciously. That means sharing information rooted in facts.

Before we ask where the leaders are, we should look in a mirror and ask the person we see “Why are you not leading”?

Until we become the change we seek, the change we seek will never come.

I work every day to live my life in such a way that when I take my last breath, I will be satisfied I made a difference and I was an inspiration; that I left something behind that will be meaningful to society; I did not shame my family, disappoint my friends or ruin my good name.
