Barack Obama Accepts the Democratic Nomination

Having the good sense to trick Diedra Garcia (President and CEO of DRG) into being my mentor several years ago, I was able to attend the last night of the Democratic National Convention after she pulled a couple of strings (namely her Mama). I will be forever grateful to them both.

The experience was beyond words. I was a wreck from start to finish. Crying, sobbing, the works. As an African-American, this event may be the most important of my lifetime. As a citizen of the United States of America, I couldn’t be more proud. Obama’s acceptance is a tribute to the sacrifices of my ancestors and to the continuing evolution of my country.

This is one journey I hope ends in the White House.
