5. Picture: What's my vision for myself and the world? To inspire
others through arts, to inform others through media, to empower others
through speaking and writing, and for the world to be better than it
was because i tried to make a difference

6. Pioneers: Who are my models? Mentors? Guides? Mom, Dad,
Arthuretta Martin, Oprah Winfrey, Septima Poinsette Clark, Niambi
Jarvis, Lula Christopher, they change along the way and add up over
time

7. Positioning & Potential: What do I want to master? What do I want
to be #1 in the world at? And why do I believe that I can do it? Why

am I the one? I want to master my own revolution from within in order
to address the one around me. I want to be the number one - (still in
progress) - social reformer in the creative world....Images and words
have been powerful and how we internalize them can move and shape our
direction. Just analyzing the preacher to the teacher, we know that we
they say and how we internalize who we care about can be profound in
our direction starting in our childhood. Consequently children should
master their creativity, value it, use in a positive way to be
citizens and leaders that strive to be better for themselves and for
others everyday. It's challenging but the seed must be planted and
nurtured throughout our journey called life. I am the one to do this
because of my own desire to master my creativity, waking up wondering
why i don't see and feel the passion within me because i was focused
on mastering a weakness versus my strength. I have no regrets just
refocus and retooling myself to get on the road and champion my own
cause to express in a creative way (inspiring way) to plant more seeds
of hope then weeds of dope in my community (universe) and starting
with myself.

8. Possibility: If you knew that success was guaranteed, what would

you attempt to accomplish? wow, my art, reshaping and capturing
history in the present to inspire future generations. tell the story
of the great changemakers (social entrepreneurs) who area striving to
make a better place and have others champion their own cause and make
a better place in this world. i think about the song reach out and
touch somebody's hand and make this a better place if you can. i would
want my own happiness in the form of good friends, family, faith,
focus, no regrets. I stated as a kid that my theory for success is
faith,focus, prioritize and patience. And stays true to this day for
me.
