Hip-Hop, social media, and athletes to give us a hyper inflated idea of success. When we are constantly bombarded with images of the THE LIFE we cant help but sometimes compare ourselves to that imagery, but honestly last night I saw PRACTICAL SUCCESS. The Urban League Gala and I will admit I take shots at the old guys made me proud. Understanding that navigating the business, political, civic, and educational worlds for Black people can be treacherous, I saw people that have succeeded in providing a better lives for their families and made it through. It was good to see. Carl West always says, Maze, we are right where we are supposed to be at this stage in our life. we have laid the foundation, and done the work! Yesterday I saw a lot of people that have already done that! Im not mad at you...As a matter of I SALUTE BLACK EXCELLENCE! #mazesaid
