Influential Person of the Week

        Malcolm X was a great leader, speaker, and member of the Nation of Islam. As a person Malcolm X strive for success in everything he did. Many people know him only as a civil rights activist and have yet to truly learn about who Malcolm X is. I suggest you read "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" as told to Alex Haley. This will let you know exactly who Malcolm X is and what he has done for the world. Many of the people whom you look up to have emulated his ability to be forceful but still calm and intellectual.

Poem of the Week

Waiting to Be Saved

Today I woke up, I'm happy to be blessed

because last night I had a deeper dream than Martin

but now I've become enraged on a mission, Malcolm X

but before someone shoots me I wondered what's next

I see slaves running around in nikes now

and Gucci bags suddenly change life around

You see my generation is lost, with no urgency

They say don't fret "I'm no worried B"

As we watch from the sidelines like coaches

Willie Lynch laughs in his grave also

No more GUTS!, Since when have my people lost their torsos

Lynching yourself and no one has to force you

I remember when we as a people

were resourceful and free thinking

Guess Obama will have to save the slaves again right?

We are students first, so we've been working and doing interviews for summer internships but  we plan to revamp this site completely in the near future with a new name and more writers than ever. Be on the lookout for that, but for the meantime we will remain dedicated to bringing our followers insight. So that being said...

Find A Mentor

     During a conversation with my fellow writer Von Cunningham we discussed the importance of a mentor. I know it's been a long time since Von or myself  has updated but we ourselves are attempting to grow as we teach.This should be exactly what you look for in a mentor. Someone who exemplifies hard-work and effort  although they have reached a certain status they realize that working hard is still important.

      There is a lot about life that no one will ever know but in your pursuit to learn everything you can while alive finding a mentor is one of the most important things. Nothing you are trying to do has no been contemplated or attempted. Your job in trying to accomplish your goals should be to find someone who has done what you have done or is somewhere you want to be.

        A mentor can open doors while also reaching you your faults. The overall goal of a mentor is to help you whether it be for personal gratification or as an investment. You will be able to feel out the difference based on your relationship with your mentor. 

       For men who grew up with no male role models a mentor is especially important in their growth. I found this out myself during my freshman year at Howard University. Although I was raised by my father until I was 14 (R.I.P. Dad) and my grandfather. I only learned their mental opinions towards life and not towards professionalism.
         Having multiple mentors is also a good idea because they can offer varying opinions on life situations as well as school decisions and work. To gain a mentor all you simply have to do is ask. It isn't as difficult as it may seem to get someone older than you to help you. Often times they want to more than you think.

        I do not condone following someones shadow but I also do not condone disrespect to a person who spent there time helping to mold you as a man. Know that one day your time will come to shine but it is not now. "We have arrived but we have not yet made it"-Michael Stewart Jr.
