There have been numerous historical initiatives that originated from Barbershop Talk. In 2021, we engaged in a discussion about the lack of Black History being taught in schools, which sparked something within me, prompting me to take action. We subsequently developed the Black traveling exhibit, the first Black history kiosk in the State of Minnesota, and a historical timeline. Who would have thought that one conversation would lead to us making history? Today, we have reached over 30,000 people through this initiative.

I have finally mustered the courage to share this post, Because I dropped the ball. To be frank, I was afraid. I had never been invited before to participate in interviewing Presidential Candidates. I made every excuse to decline. I could have adjusted my schedule. However, I did not feel adequately qualified to undertake this task.

I ask God that if He would get me off welfare, I would bless others. Needless to say, He has fulfilled His promise, transitioning me from a state of poverty to prosperity. Today, my foundation has donated thousands of dollars. I retain my food stamps as a reminder of His goodness.

Since August, we have been providing free haircuts in exchange for reading at the Homestead Green Community Center. This initiative holds great significance for me, as I was born with fetal alcohol syndrome and did not learn to read until the eighth grade. The phrase 'it's not how you start, it's how you finish' resonates deeply with me, as I have gone on to earn two college degrees.
