As the moon crept slowly across the sky, Leo could see its reflection dancing across the moving waters below. It had been a long battle, some wins, some heavy defeats; causalities had been taken, lives had been saved…through it all he knew he never walked alone.
In reality the illegal alien is a detriment to the Black community. A financial burden, that is devastating. Illegal Aliens cost US taxpayers135 billion dollars every year. Their willingness to work for low wages necessarily keeps all wages low, they fight for our jobs, they take our housing, gentrify our neighborhoods, and believe it or not enforce no go zones within our own communities.
The American Dream.
It’s a promise that is earned. It’s a perception set by every American rooted in life experiences. We watch our parents, our family members, and family friends.

Atop Mt Beatitudes on a brisk January evening in 2018, I listened intently to my guide Naomi, through our "whispers" as she called them. I wanted to feel something as I searched the waters and looked across the way...I felt nothing.
Sigh
Even here it follows me…

When the road is lonely….and the support is gone. All doors are closed. Don’t Quit.
But God raises up those who are bowed down he opens the eyes of the blind (Psalm 146:8) and he satisfies the hungry (Psalm 145:15). I was compelled by his love to acknowledge Him to be consecrated to Him and in so doing he renewed my soul

Many of the most devastated areas are under the control of the democratic politicians who are currently fighting on behalf of DACA Dreamers and refuse to meet with Republican leadership.
The Civil War, a bloody fight against the freedom of the Black man and the Anti-Slavery Republican Party, lodged by the Democratic Party over owning human property, the Negro, had ended…

Are you "that boss?" You know the one with a nasty attitude and possible anger issues? No? Let me ask another way, do people avoid you when you walk in the office? Do they shut down when you walk in the room or get off the elevator when you get on? If so, you just might be "that boss."
As I weaved my way through the stressful situations the various interviewees were so kind to share with me I found that the vast majority of them; from the dance club owner to the sales manager at the car lot turned to one thing in a time of stress; their faith. I was shocked.
Hostile work environments hurt. It's a personal reality that I have unfortunately had to experience more than once, and I can say from that place of understanding that as much as it hurt me it hurts the organization more.
