Last night I went to a very informative and interesting lecture. There were a couple of points that stuck with me.

1) African people are afraid of risk. This applies to me. I am afraid to make certain choices that could possible bring me financial reward because of failure.

2) African people speak poorly of themselves. It's true. We hear the words "lazy", "incompetent", "backward". And after a while, we tend to buy into that negative view of ourselves. A boy in school told me today that he knows he is a 'nigga'. That hurt me so much.

3) African people must leave a legacy for not only their children, but for their children's children.
I must say what he has said has sunk in very deeply and I am refelcting on what was said.

I love our idea of a date: a lecture. hee hee. We both enjoyed it.
