Reflection on this weekend

What a wonderful weekend. I must say I am exhausted from just grinding with all the help this year...from the City Of Portland, On Point Bank, Oregon Zulu Nation, individual donors and much more. This could not have been a success without you. The Creator uses us to help others and if I can be the vessel in the world to shed light on a tragic event then thank God that I am willing to have the energy to do it each and every year.

One of my highlights was seeing one of my former students who was Davonte's classmate participate in the Emcee contest. When I saw him it warmed my heart to know that he was still doing his thing in school and performing music like he always wanted to do. As I watched him I visualized Davonte and how much he would have enjoyed this event. So my heart goes to all those who participated and I pray that we continue to give opportunities to our Youth each year!

Peace and Blessings!
