We have waited long enough to tell our stories; and oh what precious stories we have to share. Yet we have kept them safely and selfishly from the world. We have tucked them away in our bosoms, whispered them to our daughters, and laughed and cried as we secretly shared them with our beloved sisters and girlfriends. Some of us have been courageous enough to share our stories with our sons, and the men who have been sensitive enough to listen. No religion, philosophy, belief system, nationalism or fraternalism is stronger than the experience of being a women and bearing a child. Creating life is God, Goddess manifested – proof of all the questions anyone could ever have about the authenticity of the divine. How then can we as women, send our children to die in any war, but especially wars that in our heart, we know, make no sense? Our innocent children’s legacy should not be defined by our past transgressions. How do we let our daughters believe they are inferior, weak, or “not e...

I believe in the power of storytelling. Stories ignite our imagination, inspire us to dream big and give us the courage to make our dreams come true. It is time to hear and celebrate the untold stories about successful Black men in America -- this book does just that. REACH: 40 Black Men Speak on Living, Leading and Succeeding, is edited by Ben Jealous, former president and CEO of the NAACP and partner at Kapor Capital, and Trabian Shorters, founder and CEO of BMe; the foreword was written by Russell Simmons. This book is inspirational as well as instructional. At a time when the mass media overwhelmingly depicts Black men in negative racial stereotypes -- this book shines a light on impactful, positive stories of successful Black men who dared to dream big, and made their dreams come true against tremendous obstacles. These men are also deeply committed to uplifting their communities and to changing the one-dimensional image that pervades most narratives about Black Men in America...

I was watching the HBO special, Night Will Fall , which depicts the atrocities of the Nazi concentration camps during World War II. I was deeply affected by these horrific acts and wanted to do something, anything to help us to remember, and to inspire us to do our part to make sure this never happens again. Then I thought about the Boko Haram terrorist in Nigeria who have massacred 5,000 people and an estimated 1.5 million are reported to have fled their homes since the violence accelerated in 2009.  I also reflected on the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, the anti-Semitic sentiment currently spreading across Europe and the plethora of conflicts in our world today. All of these acts of hate and violence have a common theme - they are all rooted in racism, intolerance and fear. It is very clear to me that the lessons of the Holocaust are very relevant today. Can it happen again? Is it beginning to happen? Will we let 11 million people die and millions more be tortured and displa...
