When I first set-up this blog site I did so because of my desire to share my thoughts and perspectives on issues of the day; providing a new progressive voice as a black gay man fighting the pressure to "PLAY" politics as a means of creating change."
Since starting this blog and accepting new and different leadership roles professionally and politically, I have found it difficult to live up to my desire to provide a new progressive voice as a black gay man fighting the pressure to "PLAY" politics as a means of creating change."
However after two years of experiences within the partisan political system, the non-profit progressive movement community, and most recently the political side of government; I feel I must shake loose my self imposed gage order. I am being driven to share my thoughts and reflections in hopes of helping my community move beyond divisions and old strategies that have not and are not moving us forward.
I am not here to throw stones or share negative thoughts about individuals or organizations, but I am here to share insight and reflections that may indeed aid in fostering a community that has a unified vision of change through empowerment, education, and mutual respect.
I believe in the old saying, that too whom much is given much is required, and I have been given so much. Therefore I am required to move beyond the structural, prescribed, and often assumed boundaries of the systems in which I exist and share my voice.
So to those that support me and those that throw shade; the voice is here and it is just getting started.
In Solidarity,
My Voice for Now
