The EE Running Man’s Five Bullet Friday

Home Invasion?

Melodie Barnes, of Las Vegas, shared a funny story the other night.

She was on her laptop and saw an email from Paypal that caught her by surprise.

So, she lets out an involuntary scream.

Her husband rushes into the room expecting the worst.

“What happened” he yells?

Melodie says, “I just got my commission from Ethnic Expressions!!!”

LOL.

The commission was from Mel’s most recent party. It tipped the scales at $800 in sales and 3 bookings. So... $200 in profit for an hour's work.

Congrats to Melodie for just doing the dang thang!

Community - Toni Morrison Speaks Truth to Power

Toni Morrison was truly a “bad to the bone” Black Queen. Check out this 3-minute excerpt from an interview she had with Charlie Rose. She tells it like it is.

White People Have Some Very Serious Problems - Toni Morrison

A Quote

Lawyer and activist Vernon Jordan on the collaborative nature of life:

"You are where you are today because you stand on somebody’s shoulders. And wherever you are heading, you cannot get there by yourself. If you stand on the shoulders of others, you have a reciprocal responsibility to live your life so that others may stand on your shoulders. It’s the quid pro quo of life. We exist temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give."

Source: 2002 speech at Howard University

Some Questions

- Whose shoulders are you standing on?
- Who is, or who will be, standing on your shoulders?
- What kind of life are you living? Are you giving or taking?

Take the red pill… and I’ll show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
