Sometimes, really scared. Of what, you ask?
Well, first of all, admitting that I get scared.

Just ONE of the reasons I get to do what I do here. From Dr. Martin Luther King to Ralph Abernathy and so many others who paved the way; I am thankful. Today and in the days ahead, I am grateful for the opportunity we all have to reflect on how far we’ve surely come but how much further we must go. #mlk #mlkday #blackhistory #facts
