    Hi Solomon, it’s your (walking) neighbor. Here’s the information for speaking at Harriett Tubman Elementary School. The school counselor’s name is Ms. Duvernay. I am sure she would love to have you as a speaker for Career Week which is this week for 5th graders. My aunt’s name is Mary and she works at Harriett Tubman as well. I am still checking out your website and will be in touch. Take Care!

    This is a new day for America. WE DID IT! But the work has just begun. Now, is the time when N**gaz become Brothaz; when B**ches become Women; when The ‘Hood becomes a Neighborhood… now, is the time when “Pookie” and “O-Dogg” can stand tall and know, that we are somebody and that we will be counted and regarded as, EQUAL. But the work has just begun. We must continue to stand and fight for what is right in the sight of God. We must execute our efforts in alignment with the Holy Scriptures. Let us not be weary; let us not be prideful. But let us join hands: Black, White, Asian, Latino, Rich and Poor… let us join hands as One Nation, TRULY Under God, as we trust God to lead this nation and world through the tireless efforts of a Blackman. For the first time!
    President Obama, we love you Brother. And we are proud to be, American.

    Please keep your head up Manchild, and know God is not done with us yet. Black men will continue to step up and be the men God called us to be.

    Hi Solo……Just dropping by to say hey and as always, wish you a blessed week!

  18. on 12 Aug 2009 at 10:10 am18 Mia

    You know Solomon , nothing is coincidence ..I firmly believe that . Everything happens for a reason …and every time during the course of my life where I have lost my faith – God has always given more signs than I can count ! he’s giving me one more at this very moment – as I came upon your page , a song by DMX just began playing – now you may not consider this a sign , however I would truly love for you to listen / view the song in question , and maybe then you will agree ; DMX. Ironically , every time I am going through something in my life , this song comes on out of nowhere ….the Lord does move in mysterious ways & speaks to us through various channels – and yes , despite all I may have been through : There but for the Grace of God go I.. .

    I will surely stop by on a more frequent basis ( and I do hope you get to listen to this song , it is the greatest song ever ) .

    Winston Churchill had once been quoted saying : ” When you’re going through Hell – Keep Walking ! ”
    I’m glad I have comfortable shoes on :)

    Be well dear Solomon and may you be blessed all the days of your life .

  19. on 13 Aug 2009 at 12:30 am19 Mia

    Thank you for your words of comfort & acceptance Solomon . Indeed , I believe there is much that I can share w/ you . As i was sitting here contemplating life in general , and began considering what is it which defines a good man from an immoral one , I was struck by something which the great novelist Noel Coward had once said : ” Every Saint has a past , and every Sinner has a future !” …

    Until next time , be well and be Blessed in the eyes of God .
