Giving Thanks...
I am thankful for my son who is 6 years old now. I cannot remember my life before him and although I worried about becoming a single mom, it has been the most glorious "ride" of my life! I am thankful that my cousin died with dignity, grace, strength and imbued with the Holy Spirit after a 24 year battle with cancer. I am thankful that my cousin Josh Davis, #93, defensive end, will end his career at Southern University as an exemplary student-athlete and a promising career in the NFL. I am thankful that my dad celebrated his 70th birthday in relative good health and he and my mom are still very much in love after 45 years of marriage.
I am thankful that the knot I felt in my breast in February was NOTHING (dayum, gotta give up CAFFEINE, Starbucks send help!). I am thankful that the administration at SULC will change and a new vision for educating African American law students will be embraced. I am thankful that with all the problems we face as a people, we are still citizens of the greatest country on this earth.
I am thankful for the fun and frivolty of the TSPN page. You guys are too much! We represent the best because we are alums of HBCUs. And although we "smack" the hell out of each other, we stand by everyone when THE MAN attacks us. Any school can make you a lawyer, doctor, accountant, teacher, social worker, computer scientist, engineer, broadcaster, whatever, but only a HBCU can make you a leader! I am thankful that we all stand up as leaders on the job and in our community as shining examples of the best!
I am thankful that these words are true:
THE BLACKER THE COLLEGE, THE SWEETER THE KNOWLEDGE!
Godspeed TSPN family and Happy Thanksgiving!
