One quote that serves as an affirmation to his life is: “If I have learned anything, I’ve learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for whom we become.”
The purpose of His Story is to tell the stories of Black Men young and old through videos and written work. Too often the story of Black Men is told by everyone else. His Story will be the catalyst to allow Black Men & Women to provide the positive contradiction to the prevailing Black male image of today.
