Amy and I send our sincere condolences to the family of Spencer Leak, Jr. on his passing.
Spencer was a devoted family man, who revered his parents, his wife and immediate family and his siblings and their families. He stepped into a leadership role in the family business, recently running point on the homegoing ceremony for the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.
He was always personally kind to me, which I appreciate and will always remember. This is a big loss for our whole community.
May his memory be a blessing in this difficult time of grief.
This is Sadie. She's a service dog who was honored with her own bone diploma at her human's college graduation. Worked very hard in all her classes and is glad her efforts didn't go unnoticed. 14/10

A little BOLD Leadership energy in Chicago today.
Kim Svoboda & Jon Harris in conversation for @ExecClubChicago — exploring what it takes to lead when the answers aren’t obvious and the stakes are high… and everyone’s still looking at you for the answer.
Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.
How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.
However you wash it, condition it, detangle it, dry it, or style it, don't forget to love it! Gabrielle is oh so proud of her hair, and we hope you are too! #CROWNLove
