Why are black leaders important?

​Most people think strong leaders were destined for leadership. I can’t disagree or agree with the plan God has. But I can say, a lot of black leaders are born into hardships that they must overcome. They are made through resilience and hope.

My life wasn’t sunshine and rainbows. As you know by following me, a lot of my life was me proving myself when the odds were against me. A kid growing up with a low income family shouldn’t have their own business and book if life was based on what you were born with. But good thing I didn’t take what life gave me. 

And throughout history this was the same for other black leaders. Black leaders emerged from all eras of struggle. Slaver had leaders attack the status quo. Civil rights had leaders emerge. And even now we have leaders emerging. 

But it isn’t enough to just learn about them. You must apply things learned form the history of black leaders. They found ways to grow their environment and encourage innovation. 

How will we continue our legacy of leadership? We must continue to mentor the next generation. They have to learn where we came from to know where we are going. Do your part today.
