On the day that Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is nationally celebrated, I find it only fitting to support a black brother that works to uplift the nation. I came in contact with this young man, Hakeem Wali, after he asked me to review his new video entitled, "Sticking Together." If you haven't had the pleasure to get a glimpse of Hakeem's purpose, check out his video: http://youtu.be/IxGMYK5hwb0
I grew up the youngest of four daughters, with 18 years separating me from the eldest, within an enviroment that was growing with violence from the outskirts in. With this in mind, I consider myself more than lucky. I am blessed. Never had the crime touched me. Thanks to my loving parents, and the wonderful neighbors that helped raised me, I felt comforted always, loved aways, safe always, even when I was standing in the mist of war. I felt a peace that only God can grant a child of His. It is this that I understand completely.
