Dear Lord,

Today, may I walk confidently into this day knowing that when You decide to bless me, You’ll bless me. You’ll show me mercy that I don’t deserve, and give me favor that I didn’t earn. Remind me that It’s nothing I did; it’s simply the favor of God on my life. Amen🙏🏾

Damar Hamlin opened his eyes last night and is responsive. He has been gripping the hands of those close to him, per @RapSheet

Amazing to hear.

@MsLisaHendricks @lcretain40 “Whenever you find that spark, it is a powerful feeling to open yourself up to feeling connected to something bigger than yourself. The more people I meet telling my story, the more I realize how much we are all connected. The whole world is truly one big family.”

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

Tonight, the great Reverend Joseph E. Lowery transitioned from earth to eternity. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. He was a champion for civil rights, a challenger of injustice, a dear friend to the King family.

Thank you, sir.

For anyone who needs inspiration, my book The Power of Five is available to download on ebook, or to order in print (March 31,2020). After being shot five times, I found the strength within to survive and thrive. I hope the Power of Five can help you, too.

The true power and potential of our nation resides not with the president, but with the people. Always remember that.

I don’t remember my mom, Joyce, at all. I was only 20 months old when she shot & killed herself.
