Oh I rise

Oh I rise above it all, they defend to no avail,

I rise because I fall, in pursuit to never fail,

I am the prize, and my disguise is my strength that lies beyond a shaded veil,

A faded veil to no surprise its breaking down though I'm not frail,

I'm told I'm not a man and even less they tell their tale,

Sticks and stones have broken my bones, but I'm not the words they've set assail,

I set to sail thick and through, through the storms of Hell and hail,

And I flow as the river flows, and am on top like a floating pale,

When I'm told I am hated, I become deflated almost pale,

Then I remembered I'm the Warrior

Survived neglect,abuse,and even jail!

Imprisoned in a shallowed cave

Arose a slave to The King only,I hail

Lifting me pass the truth,

HE is One Without a grail,

He has guided me amungst a trail

In the place of first, where when before i was the snail,

And raced to receive His Grace, and to cure me where my heart was aile

To rise above it all as they oppose to no avail.

I. AM. A. WINNER....

Black men, we are begging you, humbly, not chastising, not standing on high, pontificating, but down on bended knee in exhortation. 

We implore you Do These 5 Things in 2015 

1. Get a passport

2. Open an investment account

3. Get a mentor...or be a mentor

4. Increase your competency in financial literacy and the STEMS

5. Get regular prostate checkups 

We have been here almost 9 years...and we cannot begin to tell you the number of people who have come back to us with the same refrain and lament "I wish I would have done it sooner".....please do it now, black men, black brothers.

Clothing is Language

One of my greatest influences in my adult life is Derrick Watkins or better know as Fonzworth Bentley. A lot of people teased him when he was with Sean "Puffy" Combs but no one has really heard how he came to be. I saw an article back in 2010 on how Derrick became Fonzworth and it was amazing. Now around 2011 I just moved from the United Kingdom an I started really understanding myself as far as what I liked style wise, I was more aware of my surroundings and how others saw me and my music taste had changed greatly. So when I came across this article a light bulb went off in my head, HE WAS 100% RIGHT!!!! Clothing is a language! As simple as that seems some till don't get it. Other would like to say its common sense, but if it was then everyone would know it. So this UNcommon sense made sense to me and changed my thoughts on how I carried myself. So when I found this clip I was like OMG this is it, and the crazy part was that I was not even looking for it. It found me now I'm sharing with you. Enjoy.
