You ever look back at your life and personal journey. That you reflect upon the moral purpose served.

I was born in Chicago Ill., raised in Gary Ind. until age of 13.

Seeing Martin Luther King or Malcolm X was like seeing - Mr Ford, Mr Debnam, Mr Herndon or Mr "H" Williams, in the growth and direction Portland was to be shaped. For that sake the world we no longer live in and seemingly resist.

It is with great appreciation that I was invited to play the part of Marcus Garvey.

I see why those of use disregarded his robust outspokeness.

Today, I see that I AM, him. Our words with truth sometimes cut deep.

Here are two (2) great books to read. May you take time to pick them up. If not for self. That maybe your children being our future see them as a support to their future.

*We need not continue to go backwards in action or asleep to what exist in the world we built and the atmosphere they have created the narrative of.

Amen..

Dominion...

This is a sense of governance, in today's world.

Unlike the old aged Biblical use that gives direction to control over animals, assists and people. The term, leads those in a home to understand their roles and responsibilities of equity.

A "MAN' is to have dominion over his home. His role is should be that of discipline and vision, for the family!

Let's not argue. Because, if you decided on cute, flashy, dissolvable swagger over consistency. Remember, that our community carries 87% displaced father's and single mothers.

That means, the majority of these boys growing into young male, into youngmen are predominantly raised by - the mother with limited male role models.

*Think about your response before doing so. I'm interested in hearing your view.

I AM, a father that has created a roll of access and availability!
