We're in the second month of 2012 already. If you haven't gotten entered your stride or made moves towards your goals and greater purpose...you might need a reality check. That's not a bad thing, just something to say "get moving!"
Black History Month is celebrated in February of every calendar year. While I'm a proponent of celebrating BHM 365 days a year, it is purposeful to make an impact during this month while other races, cultures and countries are watching.
This year's BHM started off somber with the death of "Soul Train" founder and creator Don Cornelius. As a music lover, artist and fan who grew up on the impact of Soul Train, Cornelius's death struck a cord. Regardless of how he died (reports claim suicide) he will be remembered as a trailblazer and legend in spotlighting African American's in music, dance and fashion. Looking at the groundbreaking work of Soul Train speaks to how powerful our voices, the media and technology really are. Rest in Peace Don Cornelius and thank you for your everlasting contribution.
