I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

A Story Of Organized Noise"<br />By Derrick Brown<br />11-29-2020<br /><br /><br /><b><i>Session Description</i></b> (submitted 12-21-2020)<br /><br />"We will share a story that articulates a concrete strategy to create sustainable change through *persistent* efforts to connect (with like-minded people), collect (information), protect (spirit, energy, and identity), and project (collaborate in consistent, meaningful ways)."<br /><br /><br /><b><i>Bio</i></b> (submitted 12-21-2020)<br /><br />KnowledgeBase Founder & Coach Derrick Brown is a “standup storyteller.”<br /><br />He fuses rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking), singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that he writes, directs, and produces to help people who help people.<br /><br />He is a publisher, filmmaker, executive coach & mediator with electrical engineering B.S. and M.S. degrees from Clemson and Georgia Tech.<br /><br /><br /><b><i>Intro</i></b><br /><br />Greetings.<br /><br />My name is Derrick Brown.<br /><br />I am a "Standup Storyteller".<br /><br />I fuse spoken word, rap, traditional oration, teaching and singing into messages of hope, healing, and change.<br /><br />Today, I may only talk ... and maybe teach.<br /><br />Here's my story.<br /><br />[click]<br /><br />I call it "Project Chaos".<br /><br />It is a story of organized noise.<br /><br />Work with me, here.<br /><br />I am a former electrical engineer who has worked on many national defense problems.<br /><br />During one of my earliest projects, I learned a telecommunications technique that transmitted signals by burying them in atmospheric noise.<br /><br />In essence, this hid secret information in plain sight - which made it difficult for the enemy to intercept your messages.<br /><br />This technique is dated, but the metaphor (hiding in plain sight) is right on time.<br /><br />It is strategic to organize without looking organized ... to instead look scattered and spread ... because we usually appear scattered and spread.<br /><br />Work with me.<br /><br />[click]<br /><br />I have returned to classroom teaching in my city's school district.<br /><br />I have spent the last several years at home raising our daughter.<br /><br />When she started kindergarten, I went back to full-time work on her schedule.<br /><br />If all goes well, I will retire when she graduates (in 2031).<br /><br />The break I took was a sabbatical of choice and convenience.<br /><br />During that time, I focused on both care and self-care.<br /><br />I did a lot of writing, recording, producing, and publishing.<br /><br />I learned better, more sustainable ways of creating change.<br /><br />I learned that creating change begins with me and the renewing of my mind.<br /><br />[click]<br /><br />I learned that change then continued with my *persistent* efforts to connect, collect, protect, and project.<br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /> </div>"Blind Spots"</div><div style="text-align: left;">By Derrick Brown</div><div style="text-align: left;">(1-24-2021)<br /><br /><br />Greetings, good people.<br /><br />My name is Derrick Brown.<br /><br />I am a "Standup Storyteller".<br /><br />I am comfortable standing up and speaking my truth.<br /><br />Here's today's truth - I have blind spots.<br /><br />Help me to see them today by listening.<br /><br />Let's go.<br /><br /><br />"1. Daddy's Home"<br /><br />I have a special set of skills ... acquired over a long career ... that make me attractive as a workhorse problem solving employee ... but not necessarily as a leader.<br /><br />Let me say that this lack of validation follows a pattern in my life.<br /><br />This lack of validation has become my validation.<br /><br />I spent several years away from formal employment to help raise our now-7-year-old daughter - and to reinvent myself.<br /><br />After that much time away, it was difficult to re-enter the workforce.<br /><br />I found a job as a math teacher in an alternative education setting.<br /><br />I replaced a teacher mid-semester.<br /><br />She left under dubious circumstances.<br /><br />I was told this during my interview, with no details.<br /><br />I did not need the details.<br /><br />I have instincts ("spidey senses") and experience.<br /><br />I had a new boss.<br /><br />My new boss had an assistant.<br /><br />My new boss had a boss.<br /><br />As a mid-year replacement, I hoped that all of them would offer support ... especially since I was stepping into a sticky, tricky situation.<br /><br />This is not quite what happened.<br /><br />My new boss and his boss did not care for each other.<br /><br />My new boss and his assistant did not care for each other.<br /><br />As I worked to build rapport with my new students, I had a rough time with one of them who was quite outspoken (and profane).<br /><br />I worked a little harder with her.<br /><br />I think I got her suspended at least twice during my first 6 weeks (for directing profanity towards me).<br /><br />We built a good relationship, though.<br /><br />I think that I became part of her "safety zone" - which was fine.<br /><br />She became my favorite student.<br /><br />My boss' assistant and this student did not like each other.<br /><br />If you have not caught on yet, my boss' assistant is a special individual.<br /><br />On the last day of the semester, teachers sponsored a holiday feast.<br /><br />It was moved from the teacher's lounge to the cafeteria for reasons that were not announced.<br /><br />All students who were at school that day were instructed to come to the cafeteria for their regular lunch.<br /><br />Teachers were called to the cafeteria at the same time to begin the feast.<br /><br />Most of the students in attendance walked to the cafeteria with me.<br /><br />They thought they were invited to the feast.<br /><br />I thought they were invited.<br /><br />They were not.<br /><br />They were asked to enjoy their leftover sack lunch, and to watch us enjoy our feast from the corner of the cafeteria.<br /><br />I asked our boss if the kids could join our feast.<br /><br />He said that they could. <br /><br />My favorite student made it known that she did not appreciate the initial exclusion.<br /><br />Several teachers were annoyed that students joined the feast.<br /><br />They were more annoyed with my favorite student's comments.<br /><br />My boss' assistant (who was sitting at my table) made a negative comment towards my boss for allowing the students to eat with us.<br /><br />My "spidey senses" started tingling.<br /><br />This looked like trouble.<br /><br />I was happy to head home for the holidays, but knew that this might turn into something.<br /><br /><br />"2. The Fallout"<br /><br />As the Spring semester started, I used our professional development day to get wise counsel about what had happened at our feast.<br /><br />The best advice I was given was to be careful that I did not become portrayed as the teacher who was for the kids "too much".<br /><br />Good call, but it was already too late.<br /><br />I applied for a $500 grant near the end of the Fall semester.<br /><br />I won the grant, and the awarding agency brought the money to our front office.<br /><br />No one was there, so they gave the money to me directly.<br /><br />A few days later, my boss called me into his office.<br /><br />I thought it was to congratulate me for winning the grant.<br /><br />He asked me if I had seen the email from his boss.<br /><br />I had not, so my boss showed it to me.<br /><br />It was a passive-aggressive reminder that as a new employee, I was on a limited contract ... that would not be renewed until I completed my yearly evaluation ... and was requested to return by my boss.<br /><br />I know this, so the "reminder" was more than that.<br /><br />What I know now is that my boss' assistant reported me to my boss' boss.<br /><br />I do not know why ... but know that she has been recently promoted ... and that this is not a good look.<br /><br />What I know now is that I was reported for being for my favorite kid "too much" ... and that I was letting her get away with "murder".<br /><br />What I also know now is that my boss's boss told my boss to tell his assistant (who reported me) to check up on me to "see if I was doing my job".<br /><br />My boss asked the complainant to lead the investigation of my performance and behavior.<br /><br />Wow.<br /><br />What people think of me and say about me is none of my business.<br /><br />I did not miss, though, that neither my boss - nor his boss - said anything directly to me about what I had done.<br /><br />I get it now.<br /><br />That would have made the matter too easy to resolve.<br /><br />At worst, maybe I am a new teacher who does not know any better ... and needs some professional guidance.<br /><br />Or maybe I can offer another perspective on this story that can render it a "non-story".<br /><br />When nothing is said, though, any accusation against a male teacher (by a female supervisor) can be fully weaponzied.<br /><br />My boss's boss can use this against me and my boss.<br /><br />My boss' assistant can use this against me and my boss.<br /><br />My boss can use this against me.<br /><br />At this point, I can see that I am a pawn in the schemes of many.<br /><br />My boss became harsh towards me for several weeks.<br /><br />I know now that it was perhaps because he took a lot of heat for not knowing what was happening in his building.<br /><br />What I know now did not help me then.<br /><br />It created a lot of pressure and stress in a job that I had not had for 2 months.<br /><br />I am new to this job ... I am not new to performing well under pressure and stress.<br /><br />So I performed well.<br /><br />I think I made my boss and his boss both look good during a special mid-semester schoolwide evaluation held on a Thursday.<br /><br />My boss was so pleased that he came clean about everything that had caused me to be scrutinized for 6 weeks.<br /><br />He even told me who reported me, and how ridiculous he thought the report was.<br /><br />He told me that I would be on his team again for the next year.<br /><br />My next reward, though, was another surprise evaluation the next day (a Friday) at the end of the class period.<br /><br />Well played by my boss' boss.<br /><br />He may have been trying to get all evaluations and contracts done before we were interrupted by the Spring 2020 pandemic.<br /><br />He may have been trying to catch me slipping one more time ... just in case my Thursday exploits were performative.<br /><br />He may have been doing both - throwing the rock and hiding his hand (as they say).<br /><br /><br />"3. The Conclusion"<br /><br />So here's the blind spot.<br /><br />The Spring 2020 pandemic is a well-known crisis that still impacts our daily lives.<br /><br />Good leaders never let a crisis go to waste.<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />Strong leadership during a crisis can cause growth ... in character, ego, popularity, and chicanery.<br /><br />It can also be a great time to serve an agenda with little opposition.<br /><br />At our best, we are ever-improving versions of our former selves.<br /><br />At our worst, we are self-interested, controlling beasts who quote our re'sume' any time we are challenged ... and talk about ourselves way too much.<br /><br />I see both from my boss' boss.<br /><br />I also see that in myself.<br /><br />At the end of the day - he has to handle and account for his.<br /><br />I have to handle and account for mine.<br /><br />But my eyes are wide shut.<br /><br />I do not think with my eyes.<br /><br />I am fully focused, man.<br /><br />And I am not easily fooled twice.<br /><br />Selah.<br /><br />Peace.<b><br /><br /></b><br /><div class="MsoNormal">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

conversation were all connected to the history and legacy of the Lemon Street Schools.</span></p>

segregated schools for Cobb County Blacks.</span></p>

and absorbed them into the Marietta City School district, a lot of people were
hurt.</span></p>

ignored and marginalized … but still they rise.</span></p>

evident in all the conversations that we had … the recent one, and the ones
previous to that.</span></p>

this conversation models the type of sensitive inclusion that will help us all do
life in an understanding way.</span></p>

because of the way they have inspired me.</span></p>

again … and I don't want to disturb that groove at all.</span></p>

there's a bigger picture to paint.</span></p>

conversation to others.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Doing so creates some risk … it creates
the risk of divergent narratives and hidden agendas.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">And the loss of control.</span></p>

though, for common ground and healing.</span></p>

discourse.</span></p>

dissenters - allows growth.</span></p>

they're just diametrically opposed points on the same circle … and that
preservation of the circle might be a little more important than their points.</span></p>

part of what I regard as a beautiful conversation with Lemon Street graduates
and teachers that frankly has informed and inspired me … and I’m not shy to say
this … they feel like my family.</span></p>

spoken a lot of life into me … and I'm very appreciative for that … and I thank
them every time I talk to them … and I told them I'd probably get on their
nerves thanking them … but I'm very appreciative of the dialogue that we have
had.</span></p>

audience to become a part of that conversation … part of that dialogue and its
energy and its vibe … so I want to introduce our panelists and just to do a

hello so we know everybody's still there.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">First up is Ms. Felecca Wilson Taylor,
who is a 1964 graduate of Lemon Street High School … how are you doing this
evening, Ms. Taylor [she does not answer]?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">OK, I think she had to try to sign
back on … so we'll check for her again in a second.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Next up is Mr. George Miller (Lemon Street
High School Class of 1965) … how are you doing, Mr. Miller?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">All right, and then our final two
panelists are Mr. Louis and Mrs. Josetta Walker.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now Mr. Walker taught at Lemon Street
High School (1965), and then he taught at Marietta High School for the next 40
years.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He was Marietta High School’s first Black
male teacher.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Mrs. Walker was Marietta High’s
first Black female administrator, and helped to establish the Woods-Wilkins
Center (what it was known as back then) as it as its first principal.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We thank all of our panelists for
being with us tonight.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now our format and approach tonight
is a simple one … I will share a collection of images … these images represent
people, places, and ideas.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The ideas are represented by short
questions and fill-in-the-blank-statements.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I'll invite the panelists to respond
to each of the images, and whenever the response answers a question we invite
the audience to use the chat feature to respond to the questions as well …
that'll help us all learn a little bit about each other.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">If the audience has questions about
any of the answers that they hear or if they have any other questions you can offer
those in the chat as well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When we're done tonight … and I want
to stress this … we will not have shared Lemon Street's entire history … we
probably will not have scratched the surface … but we will share its spirit and
its vibe … and I think that's worth grabbing on to.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We're going to need to continue both
the vibe and the discussion … and we're going to have a better idea of how to
do that actually at around 8 PM when we conclude.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now every few minutes, you're going
to see posted in the chat a link to a sign-in sheet … please use that to let us
know that you were here … it's very important to submit any questions … it's
even more important to provide contact info so that we can follow up to let you
know about the next time we get together … because there's going to be a next
time … there's going to have to be a next time … or to answer any questions
that we might not get to respond to tonight.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">So thank you for your attention to
these details … alright, is everyone ready?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Let's go.</span></p>

I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<![endif]--><p>Dear Hannah,</p><p></p>I don't know a lot about the Tuskegee Airmen. <br /><br />Don't know a lot of details, but now here's what I do know. <br /><br />I
know that they were a group of courageous men of color ... who sought
to break barriers in a profession ... that constructed a lot of them ...
to make sure that pilots were of a certain hue, if you understand what
I'm saying. <br /><br />And to overcome those barriers, they had to defeat
barriers about intelligence and that means intelligence requirements ...
not being able to combine physical, mental strength and courage along
with the intelligence and the wherewithal to maintain your orientation
when you are turned upside down. <br /><br />I know they overcame all of that. (continued below ...).<p><br /></p><p>Love,</p><p>Daddy</p></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6NWCpDe9jDIB433gA7sgMUjMLYEXeNS8ieb_AOSFEaCfrtwHD-GAeddqoyMwt7Ukh8aVwNEHIHTVJGfxVD0CuV5U_g3ZqMG9JkhpRwzxA7JmYfVqac3SQhsUL15mJAI9inrFyf46vcmXxLFlb47djbORpDVflvwRhac6oFmfh-lDXShyphenhyphen9Gg3vjwHuyrE/s1400/DBKB9%20064.%20LEarning%20(The%20Tuskegee%20Airmen)%20(2-21-2022)%20Video%20236%20COVER%20ART.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6NWCpDe9jDIB433gA7sgMUjMLYEXeNS8ieb_AOSFEaCfrtwHD-GAeddqoyMwt7Ukh8aVwNEHIHTVJGfxVD0CuV5U_g3ZqMG9JkhpRwzxA7JmYfVqac3SQhsUL15mJAI9inrFyf46vcmXxLFlb47djbORpDVflvwRhac6oFmfh-lDXShyphenhyphen9Gg3vjwHuyrE/w400-h400/DBKB9%20064.%20LEarning%20(The%20Tuskegee%20Airmen)%20(2-21-2022)%20Video%20236%20COVER%20ART.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

LEarning (The Tuskegee Airmen) (2-21-2022) Video 236 TRANSCRIPT.txt<br />By Derrick Brown<br /><br />Hey ... good morning, good people. <br /><br />I don't know a lot about the Tuskegee Airmen. <br /><br />Don't know a lot of details, but now here's what I do know. <br /><br />I know that they were a group of courageous men of color ... who sought to break barriers in a profession ... that constructed a lot of them ... to make sure that pilots were of a certain hue, if you understand what I'm saying. <br /><br />And to overcome those barriers, they had to defeat barriers about intelligence and that means intelligence requirements ... not being able to combine physical, mental strength and courage along with the intelligence and the wherewithal to maintain your orientation when you are turned upside down. <br /><br />I know they overcame all of that. <br /><br />I know that the Tuskegee Airmen went to the Tuskegee Institute, now known as Tuskegee University, and I know that they overcame and they excelled to a degree where they became "the crew" in America's wars fought on other soils. <br /><br />But now I also know that they became a reliable crew in fighting the war that's been waged on American soil for far too long. <br /><br />And that is the war for equality, for equity, for the access to opportunity. <br /><br />And the more important war for access to better circumstances that produce equality and equity. <br /><br />And when I see them in my mind's eye, I see them flying high in the friendly sky ... I see them looking down and acknowledging all the barriers that they have overcome ... but they've reached the stratosphere and they've cleared all those barriers. <br /><br />The barriers are still there, though. <br /><br />They're still there and they still impede the progress of lots of other people. <br /><br />Now I'm reminded, too, of them flying their big bird high in the sky and then they passed by the bird that was ... caged ... that caged bird that Langston Hughes wrote of ... that caged bird that sings for freedom ... he knew why that caged bird sang ... that caged bird sang of freedom ...<br /><br />So I see the Tuskegee Airmen flying their big bird and they pass by that caged bird that's been freed ... and you see the cage falling to the ground ... and then you see Lionel Richie and the Commodores (also from Tuskegee Institute) singing a little song called "Zoom". <br /><br />That's probably my favorite song ever. <br /><br />Definitely one of my favorite songs ever. <br /><br />Goes like this. <br /><br />"I may be just a foolish dreamer ...<br />But I don't care ...<br />Because I know my happiness is waiting out there ...<br />Somewhere ... <br />I'm searching for the silver lining ...<br />Horizons that I've never seen ...<br />Oh, I like to take just a moment and dream my dream ... <br />Oh, dream my dream ... <br />Whoa, zoom ... <br />I'd like to fly far away from here ... <br />Where my mind, oh, Lord, is fresh and clear ...<br />Now I find the love that I long to see ... <br />Where everybody can be what they want to be ..." <br /><br />Yeah. <br /><br />Thank you. <br /><br />Thank you for listening to my story this morning. <br /><br />Peace.<br /><br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

Eisenhower on June 23, 1958. <br /><br />King attended the meeting with 62-year-old National Urban League Executive Director Lester Granger, 69-year-old organizer A. Philip Randolph, and 57-year-old NAACP Executive Secretary Roy Wilkins.<br /><br />Eisenhower was President from 1953 - 1961.<br /><br />This meeting occurred in Eisenhower's 5th year as President.<br /><br />King's group asked President Eisenhower for 3 things ...<br /><br />1. To direct the Department of Justice to protect the Voting Rights Act.<br /><br />2. To extend the life of the temporary Civil Rights Commission.<br /><br />3. To convene a conference to discuss the peaceful integration of schools.<br /><br />The meeting received mixed reactions.<br /><br />Eisenhower aide Rocco Siciliano called the meeting an "unqualified success."<br /><br />Siciliano also noted that MLK - despite his age - was the "intellectual soul of the group."<br /><br />MLK's group had a sober view of the meeting, and remained dubious about Eisenhower's commitment to Civil Rights.<br /><br />They knew that they would have to keep pressuring Eisenhower.<br /><br />Civil Rights supporters and the African-American press criticized the meeting as a failure - because it failed to extract concrete commitments from President Eisenhower.<br /><br />For what it is worth, though, in 2018 we have a Voting Rights Act, a Civil Rights Commission, and integrated schools.<br /><br />Each of these marginal gains have their own hidden, long-term costs.<br /><br />The revolution will not be televised.<br /><br />'Cause it's not a show.<br /><br />Nor is it an insulated, binary debate waged by wagging fingers, tongues, and twittering thumbs.<br /><br />It is a slow, patient, strategic grind.<br /><br />It is a story with no perfect characters, and no perfect outcomes or conclusions.<br /><br />The story does have a documented blueprint, though.<br /><br />We have to read, wrestle with, and apply its imperfect lessons.<br /><br />Selah.<br /><br />504 Words<br /><br />Photo caption: Eisenhower and MLK Dwight D. Eisenhower receives a group of prominent civil rights leaders. Left to Right: Lester Granger, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., E. Frederic Morrow, DDE, A. Philip Randolph, William Rogers, Rocco Siciliano, and Roy Wilkins. June 23, 1958.<br /><br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I

Scott (top right) was born on May 13, 1927.<br /><br />Blondell Brown (left) was born on May 14, 1927.<br /><br />Sidney Poitier (bottom left & left) was born on February 20, 1927.<br /><br />Harry Belafonte (bottom left & center) was born on March 1, 1927.<br /><br />Charton Heston (bottom left & right) was born in 1923 ... I am told that he once played the voice of God in a movie.<br /><br />Martin Luther King, Jr. (who is not pictured ... but I think you know what he looks like) was born on January 15, 1929.<br /><br />These 5 lives offer other fascinating parallels.<br /><br />Poitier and Belafonte got into "good trouble" together for more than 70 years.<br /><br />Charlton Heston got into some of that "good trouble" with them - especially in 1963.<br /><br />Mr. Scott entered Morehouse College in 1947.<br /><br />MLK graduated from Morehouse College in 1949.<br /><br />Sounds like they might have been classmates for a couple of years.<br /><br />My grandmother has 43 grandchildren.<br /><br />If you ever saw us gathered in the same room (I have) ... then you would know my grandmother's life story ... no words would be necessary.<br /><br />She has transferred her wealth (her knowledge) in ways that will span generations.<br /><br />She was born on Mother's Day ... this is not ironic ... it is apropos, right?<br /><br />If you care, y'all - I, too, was born on Mother's Day ... and my birthday is May 10th.<br /><br />Mr. Scott taught many students ... several of whom became teachers.<br /><br />He has transferred his wealth (his knowledge) in ways that have personally inspired me ... without my ever having met him.<br /><br />See - I *have* met many of his students.<br /><br />Their lives and stories have told me the kind of teacher and influence he is.<br /><br />Tonight, I will present some of them to you ... and they will present Mr. Scott to you from their experiences.<br /><br />-------<br /><br />I closed the evening with a poem I wrote many years ago called "UCSM" ... it is an ode to the invisible.<br /><br />On one level, it sings of the unsung ... the people we might underappreciate and overlook for their significant contributions to our lives.<br /><br />On a deeper level, though, it shares a wisdom that none of us can see ... but boy, oh, boy can we feel its power.<br /><br />It begins ...<br /><br /><br />"U Can't C Me"<br />By Derrick Brown<br /><br />Wisdom earned through lessons learned comes from teachers we cannot always remember or see.<br /><br />We remember the lessons, though.<br /><br />People just can't see me<br />But God they can't see you<br />You see all, you know all<br />Your every Word is true<br /><br />So if they never see me<br />I’ll help them to see You<br />Through thoughts, words and actions<br />Patience, honor, faith and virtue<br /><br />My life is but an instrument<br />Singing songs in many keys<br />Wisdom earned through lessons learned<br />From mistakes of several degrees<br /><br />Do not mistake activity for achievement<br />Arriving on time means you're late<br />To be on time arrive early<br />Fall seven times - get up eight<br /><br />One time is an accident<br />Two times is a trend<br />Three times might be a problem<br />But forgiveness is your friend<br /><br />The race is not to the swift<br />But to the ones who maintain<br />So stay aligned on your grind<br />And stay in your own lane<br /><br />Keep it slow and steady<br />That's it - nice and smoove<br />Always do your homework<br />Believe that God will approve<br /><br />Every moment matters<br />You had better realize<br />Then you can quickly respond<br />To opportunities that you recognize<br /><br />Don't despise the small tasks<br />Pursue them diligently<br />For passion and purpose are discovered<br />Through acts of ministry<br /><br />Keep a pad and paper<br />And a nearby pen of ink<br />Write your visions plainly<br />Make time to pray and think<br /><br />Don't believe the hype<br />Avoid the glittery and bejeweled<br />When we think with our eyes<br />We are often easily fooled<br /><br />All money ain't good money<br />Sometimes less is more<br />Make a living through your giving<br />Learn to turn two into four<br /><br />Your fear is your only courage<br />Be scared to disobey<br />Be scared to rock that boat<br />But sometimes rock it anyway<br /><br />Know how to keep your quiet<br />Until it's time to say<br />If your heart ain't feelin' right<br />Then say it another day<br /><br />Freedom of speech<br />Means come correct<br />Be quick to listen<br />Be quicker to respect<br /><br />Be slow to speak<br />Even slower to get twisted<br />Meek ain't weak<br />Self-control beats double-fisted<br /><br /><br />The only thing to know<br />Is that you don't know squat<br />Nobody cares what you know<br />If they think you care not<br /><br />So pick your spot<br />Practice - don't preach<br />When the student is ready<br />The teacher will teach<br /><br />If faced with a fool<br />Proverbs 26 - verses 5 and 4<br />Sometimes you can let it go<br />Sometimes you gotta let em know<br /><br />Train your child with loving instruction<br />Encourage growth, but discourage rambunction<br />Know you are equal in essence<br />But very different in function<br /><br />No good deed goes unrewarded<br />But the payoff is seldom immediate<br />Dreams manifest at God's appointed time<br />Though it tarries, wait for it<br /><br />Copyright © 2012 Derrick Brown.

I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<p>Dear Hannah,</p>
<p>I am a "Standup Storyteller".</p>
<p>I am comfortable standing up and speaking my truth.</p>
<p>Here's today's truth - history is no mystery.</p>
<p>It is much more than memorizing names, dates, and quotes that align with a
standard curriculum.</p>
<p>It is the story of the people, places, artifacts, and ideas of the past.</p>
<p>The stories help us see patterns and connections that inform, explain and
inspire our present and future.</p>
<p>We are weary of MLK quotes and photographs.</p>
<p>I am wary about our weary.</p>
<p>Our weary will marginalize his message and mission faster than cliche'
quotes and photographs.</p>
<p>So do not grow weary in your doing.</p>
<p>Make sure you are doing your doing *well*.</p>
<p>If you are not, then do better.</p>
<p>What does my "do better" look like?</p>
<p>Well, I have moved on to what I call "MLK 2.0".</p>
<p>I am now studying the people he talked to, respected, and connected with ...
and the people to whom these people connect.</p>
<p>It has been fascinating thus far, and I can't wait to share.</p>
<p>Let's go.</p>
<p>[START SHOW]</p>
<p>MLK's letter writing practice was strategic.</p>
<p>It probably helped him remember who he was meeting, who they were, and what
their encounters and meetings produced.</p>
<p>These letters were probably his KnowledgeBase, and helped him to make moves.</p>
<p>Selah.</p><p><br /></p><p>Love,</p><p>Daddy</p></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1XYjRj4TFCtDCa-g2PAvemfeA7uXIy9WZG8LinBeah9YrvMHPRNeiF3ZV6kQsZZHS5ht9AxICfcAiVmSRB0OHBnbiF3RV35JwCDqNZo5cz7nf72hxHSIiZgPsVu6DRcFDHtJBg7QxlJkA4NrYxb9GhDTA4uQAUqjXovXfE2_a2O6y2RpXZB8HgC0Z2bk/s1400/DBKB9%20038.%20LEarning%20(TheSeeSayShow%20-%20MLK%202.0%20(Letter%20To%20Harry%20Belafonte))%20(1-19-2021)%20COVER%20ART.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1XYjRj4TFCtDCa-g2PAvemfeA7uXIy9WZG8LinBeah9YrvMHPRNeiF3ZV6kQsZZHS5ht9AxICfcAiVmSRB0OHBnbiF3RV35JwCDqNZo5cz7nf72hxHSIiZgPsVu6DRcFDHtJBg7QxlJkA4NrYxb9GhDTA4uQAUqjXovXfE2_a2O6y2RpXZB8HgC0Z2bk/w400-h400/DBKB9%20038.%20LEarning%20(TheSeeSayShow%20-%20MLK%202.0%20(Letter%20To%20Harry%20Belafonte))%20(1-19-2021)%20COVER%20ART.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<p>Dear Hannah,</p>
<p>I am a "Standup Storyteller".</p>
<p>I am comfortable standing up and speaking my truth.</p>
<p>Here's today's truth - history is no mystery.</p>
<p>It is much more than memorizing names, dates, and quotes that align with a
standard curriculum.</p>
<p>It is the story of the people, places, artifacts, and ideas of the past.</p>
<p>The stories help us see patterns and connections that inform, explain and
inspire our present and future.</p>
<p>We are weary of MLK quotes and photographs.</p>
<p>I am wary about our weary.</p>
<p>Our weary will marginalize his message and mission faster than cliche'
quotes and photographs.</p>
<p>So do not grow weary in your doing.</p>
<p>Make sure you are doing your doing *well*.</p>
<p>If you are not, then do better.</p>
<p>What does my "do better" look like?</p>
<p>Well, I have moved on to what I call "MLK 2.0".</p>
<p>I am now studying the people he talked to, respected, and connected with ...
and the people to whom these people connect.</p>
<p>It has been fascinating thus far, and I can't wait to share.</p>
<p>Let's go.</p>
<p>[START SHOW]</p>
<p>MLK's letter writing practice was strategic.</p>
<p>It probably helped him remember who he was meeting, who they were, and what
their encounters and meetings produced.</p>
<p>These letters were probably his KnowledgeBase, and helped him to make moves.</p>
<p>Selah.</p>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

I have a lot of students who do not know that they are "my students".<br /><br />I have a lot of students who live in what I call "Lie-Lie Land".<br /><br />They are not honest with themselves.<br /><br />Their "lie" is their "truth".<br /><br /><br />[1] [Display #Outliars (#Outliers) (or a Desmos-powered histogram with outliers)]<br /><br /><br />I call them "outliars" (outliers) - pun intended.<br /><br />I have to remember that there aren't that many of them ... though it can feel that way.<br /><br />They are that way because they live by "lies".<br /><br />These folks make my present classroom situation "strange" at times.<br /><br />I have some thoughts about why I have so many "outliars" ... that I will keep to myself.<br /><br />But - for the record - this situation is "strange", y'all.<br /><br />And I have to manage it until my assignment is completed.<br /><br />So how do you manage this?<br /><br />Well, my management strategy is a combination of self-control, behavior documentation, parental contact, and #StandupStorytelling.<br /><br />Each of these approaches might be self-explanatory, but let me "go there" anyway.<br /><br /><br />[2] Display self-control<br /><br /><br />Look - these children will "take you there" sometimes.<br /><br />I have "taken the bait" more than twice ... and let a few of them know some things about some things (if you know what I mean).<br /><br />This is also not a sustainable strategy, because students can be "brutal" and "brittle".<br /><br />They can become "brittle" as soon as you address their "brutal".<br /><br />This is not what I want to do - for a couple of reasons.<br /><br />First - my ministry to this world is one of hope, healing, and change.<br /><br />I cannot create this environment while contributing (and suffering) more pain and trauma.<br /><br /><br />[3] Display behavior documentation & parental contact 1<br /><br /><br />I have learned to announce expectations ("put away cell phones") at the beginning of every class (like every day is the first day of school) ... then document infractions as minor ones with short, simple narratives.<br /><br />Minor infractions are not brought to the direct attention of a school administrator.<br /><br /><br />[3.1] Display behavior documentation & parental contact 2 (example)<br /><br /><br />What makes this technique effective, though, is being able to notify parents in writing (via the power of Microsoft Word's "Mail Merge") once students commit multiple minor infractions.<br /><br />The message to parents is simple ... the "next one" may be the "last one".<br /><br />Parents who "get that" ... deal with their child.<br /><br />Parents who do not "get that" ... have children that you probably cannot teach well ... but at least now you know.<br /><br />Knowing is half the battle.<br /><br /><br />[4] Display #StandupStorytelling<br /><br /><br />My most effect, sustainable strategy is what I call #StandupStorytelling.<br /><br />#StandupStorytelling creates small-group fellowship opportunities that allow me to deliver brief messages of hope, healing, and change to students.<br /><br />#StandupStorytelling in a high school classroom rarely looks like "story time, boys and girls".<br /><br />Sometimes it is quick, well-timed wit and humor delivered during my classroom "monologue" ...<br /><br /><br />[4.1] Display Do Not Mistake Activity For Achievement<br /><br /><br />I acknowledge that one person's wit is another person's sarcasm.<br /><br />Young people often conflate the two.<br /><br />Here's one of my all-time favorite stories, though, that always delivers a "biting" message (pun intended) with good humor.<br /><br />That dog looks busy ... and swears he is getting it done ... but once he attains his goal ... he will see that he has accomplished little ... and it will hurt him.<br /><br />Let's move on ...<br /><br />Sometimes it is a written statement on my traditional whiteboard ...<br /><br /><br />[5] Display Keep Going 2023-03-02 07.31.06.jpg<br /><br />This message has stayed on my whiteboard for most of the school year.<br /><br />My daughter offered the rainbow and encouraging words.<br /><br />I added the arrow, and the "student success factors" to affirm the disciplined traits students struggle to display consistently.<br /><br /><br />[5.1] Student Success Factors (Check Yourself)<br /><br /><br />Sometimes these affirmations are better delivered through my interactive whiteboard ...<br /><br /><br />[6] Display Student Success Factors 2 (Carry Yourself) & 3 (What Side Is Missing) (together on one image)<br /><br /><br />This one also helps us remember a poignant conversation we had about the perils of letting another person tell you what you are thinking ... instead of simply asking.<br /><br /><br />Sometimes the story is told as a lesson that looks a lot like life ...<br /><br /><br />[8] Display #GitIt (A. Ellis)<br /><br /><br />#GitIt (Financial Matters) is an alternative assignment that I provide for students whose geometry struggle is real and pervasive.<br /><br />These questions help me build a patient, sincere relationship that proceeds at the pace of their work ethic and self-honesty.<br /><br />Results thus far have not been perfect, but have been progressive.<br /><br />Any responses can and will be used to engage students in a conversation that produces LEarning.<br /><br />Allow me to transition now from #StandupStoryteller to #StandupDJ.<br /><br />Sometimes the story is told by allowing a student to watch me (literally) ...<br /><br />Here's me watching a student watch a video about a song called "Watch Me".<br /><br />The phrase "Watch Me" means all of the following in this song ...<br /><br /> Surveillance / Suppression ("who's that peekin' through my window")<br /> <br /> Determination ("I *will* make it")<br /> <br /> Discipleship ("may I show you me transparently")<br /> <br /> Accountability ("please don't let me fall")<br /><br />The student watching the video is an aspiring musician ... so I figured that the song would strike the right chord with him.<br /><br />Selah.<br /><br />Grace and peace - and I hope that you enjoy the song.<br /><br /><br />[8] Display Watch Me (J. Welch)<br /> <br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal">

I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

I get way ahead of myself.<br /><br />But that is good news that seems like bad news at first.<br /><br />I did not get to tell them.<br /><br />So now I get to tell you!<br /><br />Be warned and wary ... there are some useful rabbit trails in this one.<br /><br />They are worth following.<br /><br />Please believe.<br /><br />Let me show you something ...<br /><br /><br /><br />[2] [Display Haitian Monument on Savannah's Franklin Square]<br /><br />I travelled to Savannah, GA earlier this year.<br /><br />LEarned a lot.<br /><br />I spent a morning showing my daughter this Haitian monument on Franklin Square.<br /><br />The monument honors the volunteer soldiers who helped America capture Savannah from the British during the American Revolution.<br /><br />It displays themes of vision (illustrated by the soldier on the right who surveys the battlefield); mission (the 3 soldiers with weapons ready and aimed); sacrifice (the wounded soldier); and celebration of freedom and justice (the little drummer).<br /><br />That right there will preach, not now for "the rest of the story".<br /><br />These soldiers returned to Haiti to liberate it.<br /><br />They were victorious in their fight for liberation, but it still led to lots of people leaving Haiti.<br /><br />Lots of them went to New Orleans, LA.<br /><br />They took red beans and rice with them.<br /><br />Contributed to New Orleans' "melting pot".<br /><br />Let's move on ...<br /><br /><br /><br />[3] [Display washing machine patent]<br /><br />Sunday was an important day in New Orleans culture.<br /><br />There would a big Sunday dinner.<br /><br />It would usually include ham containing a big bone.<br /><br />It would usually be prepared by women.<br /><br />Monday was an important day, too.<br /><br />It was "wash day".<br /><br />A patent application for the machine pictured (courtesy of the Smithsonian Institute) says it is "for large families, schools, or hotels, and with which a woman can wash say twenty-five shirts at once."<br /><br />It might be a safe call to think that women ran "wash day", too.<br /><br />I could see them making red beans (infused with that leftover ham) because they kinda "cooked themselves".<br /><br />The beans could sit on the stove with a pot of rice, and everyone could help themselves to this makeshift main dish when they were ready.<br /><br />This is the part of our show where the guilty voice of patriarchy chimes in to deflect and justify this as the "perspectives and signs of the times".<br /><br />This voice may try to mute my voice by hinting that I am teaching "divisive concepts" ... or that my perspectives about past deeds "lack diversity" ... or that I "wanna be startin' something" because I spot trends and patterns.<br /><br />This voice has been present in many rooms I have addressed in the last several years ... especially the churches I have attended.<br /><br />I see that these once prideful, pronounced, prevalent, pervasive trends and patterns are now more silent, subtle, and systemic ... but perhaps more pervasive.<br /><br />I do not ignore them, but I have learned how to circumvent these voices that try to mute mine.<br /><br />I do so by knowing when (and what) to reveal, and when (and what) to conceal.<br /><br />Hit me ...<br /><br /><br /><br />[4] [Display Louis Armstrong]<br /><br />This dude (Louis Armstrong).<br /><br />Played that trumpet like every song might be his last.<br /><br />Folks would know him with or without that horn in his hands.<br /><br />Born and raised in New Orleans.<br /><br />Loved its food and culture.<br /><br />Loved red beans and rice.<br /><br />Loved to write letters.<br /><br />Signed them "Red Beans and Ricely Yours".<br /><br />Frustrated biographers and historians because he could tell some "tall tales".<br /><br />Was criticized by many for being too neutral and silent on civil rights issues of the times.<br /><br />But when he spoke (especially about Little Rock), people listened.<br /><br />Even FBI folks listened.<br /><br />Watched his every move.<br /><br />We'll come back to him soon.<br /><br /><br /><br />[5] [Display Booker T. and The M.G.'s]<br /><br />These dudes. <br /><br />Booker T. and The M.G.'s.<br /><br />In Black & White (pun intended).<br /><br />The "house band" for Stax Records.<br /><br />Memphis Soul.<br /><br />Otis Redding.<br /><br />Sam & Dave.<br /><br />Wilson Pickett.<br /><br />Perhaps America's first chart-topping interracial band.<br /><br />Let me get their color photo ...<br /><br /><br /><br />[6] [Display Booker T. and The M.G.'s 2]<br /><br />An album called "Melting Pot" from perhaps America's first chart-topping interracial band ...<br /><br />... I cannot make this up.<br /><br />They wrote instrumental songs with food titles.<br /><br />Allow me to transition from #StandupStoryteller to #StandupDJ. <br /><br />Here's a little number from Booker T. and The M.G.'s called "Red Beans and Rice".<br /><br /><br /><br />[7] [Display and play "Red Beans and Rice"]<br /><br />Booker T. and The M.G.'s most famous track happened by accident.<br /><br />They were waiting to back up an artist who was running late.<br /><br />So they messed around and dropped "Green Onions" ... a perfect complement to "Red Beans and Rice" (I cannot make this up, y'all) ...<br /><br /><br /><br />[8] [Display and play "Green Onions"]<br /><br />If this rabbit trail has not had enough twists and turns ...<br /><br />The band's two white dudes joined John Belushi's and Dan Ackroyd's "Blues Brothers" band for the movie of the same name in the late 1970s.<br /><br />Wilson Pickett was in the movie.<br /><br />The Blues Brothers covered Stax Records classics like "Soul Man" and "Hold On, I'm Comin'".<br /><br />Don't get me started about White artists and song covers, y'all.<br /><br />I could stay there all day.<br /><br />We have somewhere to go, though ... so let's get back to Louis Armstrong's version of "I Have A Dream" ... here's "What A Wonderful World" ...<br /><br /><br /><br />[9] [Display and play "What A Wonderful World"]<br /><br />Look, y'all.<br /><br />I love my wife, child, life, and family.<br /><br />I will be alright no matter how I am treated.<br /><br />But I would like to be treated better.<br /><br />I want us all to get along a little better.<br /><br />So I will still dream my dream.<br /><br />But I will inform my dreams with the cold, harsh realities that continue to await ... solutions to the problems of our existing state.<br /><br />I will close with my own missive that paves the road to reconciliation for those who have ears to hear.<br /><br />If you are made uncomfortable by these words, let's talk about "why".<br /><br />I you believe and receive the words, let's talk about "how".<br /><br />Because civil discourse - especially between dissenters - promotes growth.<br /><br />It allows us both to see that we are diametrically opposed points on the same circle ...<br /><br />... and that preservation of the circle is more important than our "points".<br /><br />Selah.<br /><br />Here's "Reconciliation (Not Done Yet)".<br /><br />Y'all enjoy.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />----------------------------------------------<br />"LEarning (Reconciliation (Not Done Yet))"<br />By Derrick Brown<br />9-21-2017<br />----------------------------------------------<br /><br />NuSkool Piano (eJay Sound Selections 2) (Take 3) (9-22-2017) (9m30sec) (90 BPM).MP3<br /><br /><begin intro - 45 seconds><br /><br />The road to reconciliation<br /><br />starts with <br /><br />realization (of both the might and the plight), <br />respect (both spiritual essence and natural function), <br />reassurance (of commitment to the corrective plan and path - don't ask for trust ...

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am Keisha's husband, and Hannah's father.<br />
<br />
I am a “standup storyteller.”<br />
<br />
I
fuse rap, spoken word (poetry), oration (traditional public speaking),
singing, and teaching into messages of hope, healing, and change that I
write, direct, and produce to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
Everything must change - and stay changED.<br />
<br />
Tradition begins and ends with change.<br />
<br />
Change
begins with me and the renewing of my mind ... then continues through
efforts to effect small-group discipleship (equipping others to equip
others) with audiences that respect and embrace mentoring, mediation,
and problem solving as tools of change.<br />
<br />
I am the product of my mentoring relationships, peacemaking (and peacekeeping), and problem-solving ability.<br />
<br />
My education began when I finished school.<br />
<br />
After
school, I enrolled in a lifelong curriculum that includes classes in
ministry, entrepreneurship, stewardship, literacy, numeracy, language,
self-identity, self-expression, and analysis / synthesis.<br />
<br />
My projects execute a ministry that has evolved from wisdom earned through lessons learned.<br />
<br />
I want to share this wisdom to build teams of "triple threat" fellows - mentors, mediators, and problem solvers.<br />
<br />
We will collaborate in simple, powerful ways that allow us to help people who help people.<br />
<br />
I
now know that power is work done efficiently (with wise and skillful
use of resources, interests, communication, and expertise).</div>
