Okay I have been going down a long and winding road in terms of figuring out what I want to do with my life. I am 35 years old and have extensive experience within the workforce, however most of the positions I held, didn't move my spirit. I will often count down the minutes until it was time to leave and trurthfully wasn't very productive, therefore I wasn't much of a help to the company's overall objectives anyway. However, it wasn't all torture I held plenty of positions in the non-profit industry and that is where I found myself the most happiest (although at that time I didn't realize it). But with this unvoluntary hiatus that I have been on for the past 7 months (was laid off from my temporary position at Johnson & Johnson) I come to realize that my love is in helping people. I love helping out at my kids' schools, with extra curriculum activities and giving advice. I also have the most passion for the black and urban communities. It makes my spirit do somersaults and that's what it's all about! I am on a mission to improve the lives of black and urban communities through all aspects of the black experience (family, community, economics, health, spirituality) and I will not feel guilty about doing so. I love who I am and the legacy that my race of people leave to the world. I just want to continue that legacy by making my community stronger, one village at a time.

Rebuilding Our World is a blog that opens the dialogue on how the black and urban community could be improved. It's a place where all views are welcome, however, inappropriate language and threats will not be tolerated. We are all adults and should be able to voice our opinions without attacking others.
