Wyclef recently launched a fund to help with relief efforts in his homeland of Haiti. It's still crazy to me how this disaster has not registered on the political radar of this year's election. Good job Clef, represent. Story Wyclef Jean Announces Storm Relief Fund for Haiti
This is crazy. When folks in the music industry put their egos to the side, this is the type of positivity that can be produced. Gone were the days of "We Are The World", "Self Destruction", "Same Gang", and others, but these ladies all got together and not only recorded the joint, but got on stage and performed for a very worthy cause. Women are the backbone of our society and will be a deciding factor in this year's election. All of these ladies do inspire me, especially Rihanna, Mary and Keyshia Cole for personal reasons, and should inspire YOU to get involved in activism. The easiest way is through community organizers like one of my surrogate mothers in Brooklyn, Coraminita Mahr, who is a VP of Health Care Union 1199, which supports nurses. Health Care is a hot button issue in the world, especially with the threat of Cancer, and it's dope to see the ladies unite for JUST STAND UP.
So a Black man is going to be the next President of the United States of America.....
What kind of emotion does that bring out of you? Do you agree? Or are you thinking no way? How about you just don't give a.......er, you know. In this day and age, many people are so disenfranchised with the political system that they don't think it makes a difference either way if they get involved. This site is about that, but first and foremost, before politics, I Am Inspired by Obama is about the fact that before August 10th, 1965, Blacks in the segregated South could not even REGISTER to vote, now a Black man is possibly going t0 be the leader of the Free World (that is, if you think the world is free, which is a whole other topic). I am inspired by that, are you? You might, you might not be, but if you aren't, what inspires you? That my friends is the million dollar question.
And oh yeah, since it might get a little sticky in here, THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN HAS NO AFFLIATION WITH THIS SITE. There, we said it.
