365 Brothers - Listening to Black Men
Society & Culture:Relationships
At age thirteen, his family moved to their first home with indoor plumbing and running water. "Toilet tissue was a luxury." Tired of the ridicule that schoolmates lobbed his way for being poor, he dropped out of high school. With a plan.
His plan worked. He's spent twenty years in law enforcement. He even ran for Sheriff as a democrat in the most republican county in the nation. While he didn't win, he did garner 47% of the vote. That's saying a LOT! Listen to this amazing brother share his path and his wisdom. And, you'll hear me reference the video Ten Rules for Dealing with the Police.
Favorite song: People Make The World Go Round by The Stylists.
Favorite book: The Autobiography of Malcolm X. Favorite quote: "A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at." Bruce Lee.
