I had the good fortune and honor to be invited by my daughter, Yvette, to my granddaughter’s graduation. Her name is Dream and she was graduating from pre-school to Kindergarten. I have to be honest, I had a warm and happy feeling —-just being able to be there.

Sometimes when circumstances may appear to be at their worst; you’ll never know what the next day may bring.

First and foremost— Happy Father’s Day to all fathers!!

I had the honor of being invited by Tyrone Parker—to attend a Father’s Day brunch @ Union Temple Church!

The event was very inspirational and I’m extremely grateful to have attended.

Also, I wish to thank Amy Wilkins-Allen for accompanied me to the event!

I was extremely greatful to re-connect with & Rev. Willie Wilson! After my son was murdered, I spent a lot of time working @ Union Temple with Vernon along with a host of others, under the guidance and leadership of Rev. Wilson; to address the systemic issues plaguing our communities.

Also I ran into two of my closest & dearest friends:

Mustafa Ali & Akosuak Ali—-and their baby daughter (whom they honored me to be their child’s uncle).

What a great day!!

Introducing the new President; as well as the first black President in the history of the DC Rotary Club, Donnie Shaw!

Besides several of my friends, I had the pleasure & honor of running into another dear friend, Dr. Willie Jolley—One of the greatest motivational speakers in the country— who was the MC of the event!
