A legacy is defined by dictionary.com as
1. | anything handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor: |
I am thirty-something and I am troubled by the state of my nation.
When we were growing up, our heroes were Martin Luther King, Jr, Althea Gibson, Nina Simone, Toni Morrison, the list goes on. We aspired to be artists, writers, politicians, philanthropists, and it appears that the new generation aspires to be rappers, athletes, hustlers, and some have no aspirations at all. It’s not all the kids’ fault. The media and the “hip-hop” culture can’t take all the blame. The old adage… “It takes a village” is a live and well today.
I am using this as my platform to proliferate my knowledge and dreams in hopes that someone will positively be impacted by it. So I will start with asking the question. What legacy will you leave? How are you going to get there.
