Born and raised in Oakland. Trying to make difference in young people lives Through financial Literacy. I have no experience but I do have ideas. We Intend to find and mine the INTRINSIC VALUE in BLACKS LIVES. Uncover the GOLD buried in our youth and refine it.. Rediscover the DIAMONDS locked away with seniors and POLISH THEM Today, we are suffering an EPIDEMIC OF IGNORANCE brought on by a LEGACY of ILLITERACY. EDUCATION is the ONLY VACCINE’ available for our “CONDITION” and INFORMATION is the “POWER TOOL’ that can provide to us the IMPETUS to RE-BULID and RESTORE… RE-WRITE and REPLACE our ”LEGACY of ILLITERACY That is SO ENTRENCHED in OUR COLLECTIVE PSYCHE and our SOCIETY! Looking to “OTHERS” outside of OURSELVES is NOT “THE WAY”! With this goal, we can hope to ultimatley ACHIEVE what the likes of GEORGE WASHINGTON CAVERtried to do, and the likes of JOHN LEWIS fought to do: EMPOWER OURSELVES by ENLIGHTENING OURSELVES: IMBUING OURSELVES with SELF- CONFIDENCE...creating a NEW LEGACY of KNOWLEDGE and POWER.
