i cannot delegate celebration of my history to the shortest month of the year. i immerse myself in it everyday.

one person who opened my eyes, flipped the switch, sparked an entire new thought process was malcolm x. while i whole-heartedly respect the work of dr. king, the words of brother malcolm changed my life.

in light of all that we are living through, i urge everyone to read/re-read his autobiography.

“People don’t realize how a man’s whole life can be changed by one book.”

― Malcolm X
