Guess who's coming out...Everyday Heroes...Mother's Day...and NeNe!

So this week was all about Jason Collins from coming out to wearing #98 to being Oprah tonight.  I Wouldn't label him a hero but a gay black man who has a platform to do great things in the limelight.  There are tons of us in our communities doing just as fabulous things without the spotlight!

To my local heroes...The Armorettes a group raising $$$ for AIDS support services for nearly 35 years and over $2 million. Brett Hulst who does amazing work on a college campus to guide students to becoming productive citizens.  To my LeaderShape family who help develop student leaders to Lead with Integrity and to Disregard the Impossible.  Heroes come in all shapes and sizes!  A local hero and celebrity Mr. John Lewis MY congressman.  He always has led the charge for fighting discrimination and still is in the trenches at 73 years old.

This being mother's day week, I want to give a HUGE shout out to all the mothers and especially mine Martha T. Kearney.  I would not be nearly the person I am without her ever guiding hand.  She was and still is a teacher.  I have learned so much from her in 48+ years.  And I hope I can be half the "teacher" she is.  Thank u mom for all the love and support.  Thank you for teaching us love and self respect.  Treat people like you want to be treated and to accept and not to judge people.  I look forward to our great weekend coming up!

Now to pop culture.  I love NeNe Leakes!  Her One on One with Andy Cohen made me love her even more.  She is real and speaks the truth.  That's what I try to do everyday.  Sometimes the filter isn't completely there and just comes out...I like it when that happens most times.

4 days until Scandal....

One other thought...Jason Collins needs to date Tyler Perry.
