" I grew up in the midst of the Civil Rights
Era and was blessed with a father who was very
active in the movement. There were many nights
that I attended various rallies with my Mother
and watched intently as my father exercised
his oratorical skills to either calm down an
unruly crowd or inspire apathetic people to
act. Furthermore, my father and I would watch
the political conventions to hear extraordinary
orations. I soon realized that most of our great
leaders are also great speakers.
What started
off as simply a young man emulating his father
grew into a personal gift for which I have been
recognized on numerous occasions. Public Speaking
has become more than just a topic of interest
to me. It is now my hobby and avocation."
