While I was directing a project during the Essence Music Festival last weekend, guess who I ran into of all people Ericka Butler Priester... It was truly serendipitous. I have known Erika since we were kids running up and down that dirt road on Fairview Avenue in a little town in South Carolina.  I have been keeping up with her rise to become a top executive at Target and after so many years, she is still the amazing spirit that I knew as a kid. It was so good seeing you Erika, keep shining sis (and now cousin, as her brother married my cousin). Proud of the woman you have become and are becoming.  Seeing you again was part of what made the Essence Experience memorable for me.  I am sure our paths will cross again as these two kids from the country keep moving toward our next milestones. Please say hello to your husband, mom, and brother for me...and the funny thing is, I ran into your mom at a church event in Atlanta a few years ago...truly a small world after all. ...

As we wrap up this weekend, let's remember the sacrifices of our forefathers and strengthen our commitment to our community. Have some compassion for our fellow men and women, and know that everyone will go through something at some point. Overall, this Juneteenth holiday reminds us that freedom is not given, most of the time it's taken. Perhaps the biggest thing for us to reflect on about Juneteenth is that our ancestors were free and nobody told them. I believe we are more free than we realize, or most certainly can be...it's a choice that we have to renew daily. We have come a long way, true, and yet we have a great distance to travel...so keep it moving, keep fighting...and what are we fighting for above all else...FAMILY!!! So to all the brothers out there who are blessed to be fathers, salute...and to those who are yet to be fathers....just know that our community as a whole could use quite a bit more fathering...so do as much as you can for as many as you can....we d...
