Every day of our life is an echo. Some form of lesson that we have survived for yet another 24 hours. So as much as I can I will document my echoes for the generations after me to learn and read from. Pay close attention for these are my echoes!

4:28am and out of 3 cars at Paulding County High, Police choose to surround my car and ask why I'm there. Huge ROTC uniform on my son! and every other kid in their parents car. I try my best to treat everybody the same. I'm just saying you couldnt harrass the 1st lady that was there and her son? Drove past the other two cars parked two spaces from me to question me and my son! Glad he got to see 1st hand that as a black man he got to always be watchful and careful regardless of what anyone says and equality!

6:06am and I'm understanding how powerful this is and that we cant assume that we are not ALL a part of this struggle... Ephesians 6:12 - For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Echoes of Lost Generations 011811
Just completed the second week of the new year
I feel like I have a fresh start
I’ve completed all of the work owed to past clients
I can officially go back to fine arts and fashion
Its been a hard transition
Hard for me to tell people “No”
It does not come natural to me
Trusting that I will be allowed the time
To focus on new things for a while
The time to focus on building families
Our 1st Annual Family Leadership Award was a success
Already planning the next one
It was Dr. Kings Birthday yesterday
I always feel bad on that day
Let down by the state of not only blacks
But all races
We all have sat back for decades
Allowing the government to chip away at our basic rights
No more God in the schools
Cant even tell someone to have a blessed day in work emails
Those that are more fortunate could care less
That there is a Health Care reform to help the less fortunate
Everybody is waiting on God to show up
Waiting for God to perform so miracle to save us all
While I know and trust that God only works for us
through us….
We have the power within us to boycott things we don’t agree with
We have the collective power to help with and end homelessness
We have the food to help the starving and hungry
One dollar from every human being…
Only a few churches are actively involved in restoring communities
Most have grown into businesses that must pay salaries
Businesses that cant function if a certain amount isn’t reached each Sunday
The church “was” a place of refuge
It “was” where the cold could go to get heat
It “was” where the hungry could go to get fed
It “was” where a single mom could go for comfort and counseling
Now that same female is lusted after by the pastors
Those young men are being molested by the clergy
And nobody boycotts…
No collective body God fearing of beings STAND UP!
This is so far from a “Negro” problem
Everybody is waiting on a “savior” of a man
Not realizing that the same power lies within them
We all have the power to be Good
Each of us have the ability to do great things
If only to help simply one of the people we know
I have such a long way to go on my journey
So much to learn still
I’ve spent the majority of my life struggling
Fighting away ignorance
One of the truest enemies we all have
To defeat ignorance is to conquer fear
It opens understanding
It allows us all to become learned of one another
Shows us how to respect and help each other
I turn 35 this year
And plan to make this a phenomenal year
I end this post urging you to make this a phenomenal year as well

Echoes of Lost Generations 010411
It’s now a new year
A perfect time to reflect on the past
I have not written in a long time
I had a very hard year in 2010
Lost a $2,000mth contract due to the economy
Continued to look for employment
Got turned down due to “over qualification?”
Couldn’t even get warehouse work.
So I continued selling websites and going to Devry Online
Scrambled each month to bring in at least $1500
Depended heavily on my wife financially for the first time
Fought depression like Tyson in his prime
I fasted for over 5 days with my brothers Anthony and Jerald
We smiled as business picked back up
Schools called to have murals painted
Started our T-Shirt and Merchandising Company
www.supadopefresh.com and www.getchristlike.com
Local youth organizations ordered T-shirts
Opened an office in Ohio for GetChristLike Clothing
I found a job as an HP Sales Rep for Best Buy
Found out I did not like it after the first day
Sales was not my strong point
But unlike most people these days
I was willing to work the job because I was thankful to get work
About that time I got a call from AutoTrader.com
They made a great offer after at least three interviews
And hours of testing
And my life continued to change for the better
A living testimony of what it means to never give up
Me and my brothers froze our business income
Decided to use it to buy equipment
So we purchased a Hat Press / Mug Press / Ceramic Plate Press
Got a 4-color Silk Screen Printing press
My uncle joe who is also an officer in the company repaired our studio computer
So we purchased Pro-Tools LE and a Mic Pre-Amp
that allows us to continue making music
I’m revealing this step-by-step info
In hopes of inspiring other entrepreneurs to invest in themselves
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that when you come from the bottom
You have to work Five Times harder than others
Our first instinct as entrepreneurs is to quit our day jobs
But with no investors, or wealthy supports giving money and equipment
It is a better idea to work day jobs as well as grow your business
Any income should be used to pay employees and purchase supplies and equipment
And I promise that your business will grow faster
We are so far from retirement and financial wealth
It takes hundreds of thousands of dollars to retire comfortably
It seems that most are scared of hard work these days
Scared to make sacrifices
Would rather sit on the couch watching TV each afternoon
Than pick up another job or some side work
We have to make some hard decisions
so that our kids do not have to work that hard
But if we continue taking it easy and not push ourselves
Our kids will grow up the same way
If we fail to go back to school to get degrees
Will our kids aspire to do so?
I can name at least 4 of my cousins who did not finish high-school
Who believe a life of crime is more profitable for them
Who spend time in jail at least once a year
And do you think that their kids will grow up any different?
If not presented with a positive alternative?
I hope that this post explains why I work so hard
Why I now use well over 16hrs of my day to work and generate income
I do not aspire to be rich
I inspire to be wealthy / Financially stable / with no recurring debt
I do not aspire to be a celebrity
But a role model / mentor to at-risk youth
An inspiration for those who have given up on life
2010 is done
I cant take back or redo anything done during that time
2011 is here
We have to learn from our past
Blaze boldly through our present
And plan BIG for our future
I’ve received so many blessings this past year
The year ended with a mentor donating a Mac Book Pro to our company
If I had tears I could have cried
I was able to get computers for everyone in the company
I feel so very blessed
Still feeling like to those whom much is given….
Much is required
So I fight through the emotions of others
Who would try and determine my present and future steps
I’ve been given an agenda from a higher being
I have a purpose that was signed by the most high
And I cant fear losing everything, in order to gain what God has set aside for me…
