The Incredible Amazing Life of "T"

Just viewed the Christmas Day service live online from my from my home church in GA and the message was... Don't be afraid of who you are, Embrace how God made you, and live without limits because like Rudolph the Red nose reindeer you may be teased and talked about, but then you are called to save the day doing something that only you can do, it its you that will go down in history. This message hit home with me because I am unique among those that know me. I have mild Cere bral Palsy, I use assistive technology to walk and get around,I AM BLACK, well traveled, a Latin honor graduate of the  ‪#‎ 1HBCU‬  Spelman College, A Teach for America Alum, a first Generation College student, and now I am a law student. I embrace all the aspects of who I am. I am God's child who is blessed and highly favored. There have been many people who do not think I should be pursuing the path that I am on. They are afraid that it is too much for me to handle, or that I won't ever make it to th...

Hello Again, My last few videos were posted to allow my viewers to be entertained through great expression. I did this    because I needed inspiration. My mind has been so full lately.The past few months have not been the easiest, but they have also not been the hardest. The current chapter of my life will be ending in about 22 days. I have already completed my two years with TFA, and now I am trying to make it to law school. This road to greatness is filled  with challenges. Then again I am reminded again of the question posed by a dear friend: Where can I see God in all of this? The answer is simple really now that I think about it. Frederick Douglass said it best in his Emancipation of  West India Speech:       " The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, p...

Ill be attending law school in Boston Massachusetts this Fall. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I have never even visited the city. Any support or  suggestions on things to do , places to visit, or food to eat are welcome. Support @  gofund.me/helptika Change is constant, I must embrace it.

Starting today, I refuse to be unhappy. Each day I will post something that brought me happiness for the next 100 days.

     The title of this post has perplexed me for some time now. Never in a million years did I think it took strength to make choices. All I thought it took was wise council and risk analysis, but I am learning that while those two things are important when making choices the most important part of the choice making process is  having the strength to live with the choices you make.       I believe that everyone is put on this earth for a reason and that no matter what one does you will end up where you were always supposed to be. You where destined to be there and no one else. God writes amazing stories for our lives(hence the name of my blog).  For many years I struggled with learning how to navigate this world as a triple minority. In high school I thought I found the answer, and that answer was be proactive not reactive. While I truly believe that is the answer to most problems, I now realize that at that point in my life I was to immatu...
