John Lewis taught us that "Freedom is not a state; it is an act." His words remind us that freedom isn't a place we arrive at but something we continuously strive for through our actions. It's about the choices we make every day to build a fairer, more just society for everyone. Lewis's legacy calls us to action, emphasizing that each generation has a role in advancing freedom and justice. This journey towards freedom requires perseverance, courage, and collective effort. Let's take inspiration from his message to actively participate in shaping a world where justice and equality flourish. As we reflect on our journey towards freedom, let's honor John Lewis's memory by embracing our responsibility to contribute to a better society. Every step we take is a step towards a future where freedom is lived and breathed by all. Let's continue the conversation and share how we're contributing to this noble cause. Together, we can keep the spirit of freedom alive for generations to come. #FreedomIsAnAct #JohnLewisWisdom #ActForFreedom #JusticeForAll #BeTheChange

We the people have a responsibility to make America great again. In times like this we need to reflect on the progress we have made down the years. We the people deserve a America that all men are created equal. We deserve an American were opportunities are endless no matter your race creed or political affiliation. We the people deserve leadership that represents our values. We the people deserve an honest leader who can rally and inspire others to want more. We need leadership that can lead. We have become to accustomed to being silent when something happens that clearly isn't right. We can and will raise out of this halls of division and realize we need each other. Hate and disrespect in all forms need not become our norm. We the people denounce violence in all forms. This is a very important election coming up. Let's make sure when we vote that our country will to be great is acknowledge. We are all responsible to make America greater than ever. We can't rest history but we can show history that we the people have evolved from a divided country to a nation that honors democracy.

American slaves will never be able to compete for America's wealth until we have leaders that know our true cultural identity so we will know who "ourselves" are. How else could we know which cultures we are competing against, or who to help? American slaves hear the words human race daily and we still don't realize we are in competition with other humans. The word race speaks for itself. American slaves are in a race competing for America's wealth against other cultures. We are losing the race because we don't know how to work together, or that we are in a race. We don't understand that, to work together, we must follow a "recognized " leader. If American slaves had access to true cultural information and were treated equal to other cultures in America, I would probably agree with America continuing on as a "racist-country," but things are not equal in America. American slaves are held back because of ignorance. Simply speaking, we don't know who we are. We therefore don/t know who we are competing against, or when we are supposed to takeoff running in the race. The white culture took off running when the American flag was sewn and waved at America's economic starting gate. The American slave culture is still at the starting gate waiting for someone to tell us to go and which way to run. To Learn More Read: 400 Years Of Slavery www.Slaves-USA.com

Team: On the eve of Memorial Day and not much more than a week from the 80th Anniversary of the beginning of Operation Overlord is a good time to reflect on the powerful gift we have been bestowed through the sacrifice of others. Specifically, the opportunity to effectively govern ourselves as free people. With that inheritance comes the compelling obligation to pass it on. Effective self-governance is not entertainment, or sport, or theater, and celebrity is not leadership. Representative democracy is tough work that demands curiosity, the respect for the rule-of-law, and citizens who can disagree agreeably on matters of policy knowing that they share a great many common concerns. Similarly, leaders of character understand their own accountability and the duty to others that comes with authority. As I see it, we owe future generations no less than the opportunity that has been given to us at great cost to so many. Keep pounding…W/r, 🦅🦅

The last two sentences of this article resonated with me the most: "Neither a divisive, identitarian worldview nor a baby-out-with-the-bathwater nihilism will do. Today, let’s strive to clasp hands and walk together down a peaceful road to reconciliation." We can't continue to use divisive tactics to advocate and drive DEI programs. We need to take a more truly inclusive approach that identifies ways that all of us can benefit from these programs. #betterbizculture

Today is my first full day as an American citizen. Looking around me at the oath ceremony I saw a beautiful picture of human diversity, united in celebrating this new gift, belonging to something so much larger than ourselves. I feel welcomed, empowered and embraced by so many incredible Americans that I love so much, and the very idea of America. In a welcome letter from the President, I read the following words: “The idea of America is that everyone is created equal and deserves to be treated equally and that we are forever a Nation of Possibilities.” There is much joy to being accepted by a second country, (the first was the United Kingdom), especially after the heartbreak stemming from the fact that the government of my homeland decided that my religious beliefs voided my and my family’s right to exist. Equality, endless possibilities, a right to be heard, and a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are sacred concepts. As I read the news and see suffering, conflict, injustice, hate, and inequality, I feel more urgency to uphold and promote them. The values are a north star that can be incorporated into our everyday professional lives. Leadership in business means empowering others to see endless potential, treating those around you with dignity and fairness, ensuring those you lead are moving towards fulfillment, and listening to and understanding other view points. Perhaps one of the reasons that America has achieved so much economic success in the course of a short history, is the fact that these leadership principles are hard wired into the fabric of the values of this country. I don’t take them for granted for a minute. And to celebrate, I wanted to eat something very American so I had the best tacos Dallas has to offer. #values #leadership #purposedrivenleadership

ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. Once I understood how much cultural wealth is really on the table and that black leaders didn't have a clue. I smelled an economic opportunity. When I recognized that black leaders had fallen asleep at the wheel and that the American slave culture was going under for the third time, it became my duty to take over leadership of the American slave culture and save our people. A large part of my business resume is saving companies that are going under. I discussed launching the American Slave Movement with my white mentors, Colonel James Halvatgis, Attorney Marvin Hirn, and Mayor Slone. Whereas I wanted to jumpstart the American Slave Movement from Atlanta, Detroit, or some other aggressive city, they suggested we launch it from Louisville, Kentucky. They said, that since I claimed Louisville as my hometown, it was my duty to put Louisville on the map. I made it clear that because of what I had just gone through with black leaders in Louisville when I was trying to advance American slaves into mainstream America through the manufacturing arena, I thought launching the American Slave Movement from Louisville was a bad idea. My mentors were adamant that the movement should be launched from Louisville. They said I had withstood the gatekeeper barrage and was still standing that I would prevail. I figured there is no sense in having mentors if you are unwilling to take their advice. But on the other hand, my white mentors really didn't understand the slave mentality that has a firm grip on the mindset of the American slave culture as I did. I would never have understood the slave mentality myself had I not risen to the height of "MINORITY ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR IN MANUFACTURING." From that pinnacle, I could see the business playing field more clearly. What I saw caused me to become ashamed of myself---ashamed that I could be so ignorant...for such a long time...Black leaders, not understanding the power of slavery in America, don't want Louisville on the map if the only way to get there is by calling them, American slaves. They would rather keep living high on the hog and let their people starve to death. What I bring to the table is a no-brainer. That is why my white mentors weren't concerned with my plan working. But, as I said, they didn't understand the slave mentality we would be up against in Louisville and I am sure it is the same in all cities. I went ahead and launched the American Slave Movement from Louisville, Kentucky, anyway, and, just like I figured, black leaders attacked in full force. I wound up bankrupt and blackballed.

In an age of increasing polarization and division, how can we build bridges across lines of difference and strengthen solidarity? What strategies do we need to sustain connections and build power across the growing chasms of ideology, experience, power, and privilege? More people than ever are engaged in social change. We can sustain this momentum for the long run. Join us for this year’s Solidarity Is programs to sharpen analysis and strategy, deepen our connections, and practice skills that can help us continue the critical work of advancing justice and liberation. Solidarity is the throughline to move from equity to justice, from diversity to accountability, from silos to interdependence, from symbolism to systemic change. We believe solidarity builds power.
