Coincidence or Calculated Decision?
I realize the excitement and interest is on the basketball court, however I cannot help but ponder how (and if) Leonard Hamilton's history of breaking racial barriers were conscience decisions or just a byproduct of the opportunities. He may not even have that answer. Frankly, we should not ask why he does it. We should simply be in awe of his impact on college athletics.

Giovanni Morassutti Interview on Art Aia - Creatives / In / Residence
Stars Making a Social Impact: Why & How Actor Giovanni Morassutti Is Helping To Change Our World At the moment, I am consolidating collaborations with several international partners and with the Region of Friuli- Venezia Giulia. The activities of the art center resonate with the local community. The outcomes of my projects are usually open to the public and have received a particular interest among the local people. I am also aiming to foster cultural tourism and community involvement. Friuli- Venezia Giulia is a culturally unique region shaped by history, traditions and art. I would love to collaborate with other local entities. I would say that at this stage, the three things that would support my effort would be to promote my cause, donate to the art center, and collaborate on our projects.

Thanks from your biggest fan....
Dear Soror Phylicia Rashad, You have been someone I have looked up to for over 3 decades. The class, poise, confidence and sophistication you exude are what kept my eyes on you, even after the Cosby Show. I have talked about you to anyone who would listen. As an educator, I always would tell my students that I was blessed to grow up in an era where class was accepted and respected. I praise you for always dressing and acting with class and decency. You were the type of woman I always wanted to be once I “grew up”.

Michelle Obama, The Black Queen
As being a Millennial Woman, or any woman involved in Business or in North America. You’d be very aware of who Michelle Obama is, unless you had lived in a very remote dark place on the Earth and were unaware of your surroundings. Michelle Obama, First Lady and a fashion icon for North America, she wore American Fashion to promote their growth. Her fashion style influenced me that you can still be beautiful even though you dress very classy and in a very conservative way.This influential Black QUEEN, affected the USA if not the WORLD.

The Dreamers.
Screaming on top of her lungs, a black girl child prayed to God to be taken away from her impoverished life. She pleaded if God's there and if he loves her, she wants to be gone forever. Then she shut her watery red eyes, commenced counting for 10 numbers, and waited for God to take her back. A loud yell of "TEN!" concludes the yelling of time down. She cracked her eyes open, and the world was still the same. The slaying hunger and helpless pain hadn't perished yet. She did what she had to do to feed her starving body. She scoured through the trash containers; she stole food. She was just a hungry kid. But she has begun to own it and fight it. And things have changed by her persistence and relentless endeavors.
