The First Family
I am so happy today…no, happy is fleeting. I am joyful…I am full of immense joy that no one or thing can take away. I can’t describe the feelings that came over me and my friends last night as we waited anxiously in front of the television, switching between CNN, B.E.T., Comedy Central (we love John Stewart) and even FOX News channel; had to see what the haters were saying. But at 11:55 p.m. the announcement came through and we lost it. The entire East Point community must have heard us yelling at the top of our lungs.
That's me on the far left and all my wonderful friends who shared in the special moment with me! Including the cute doggie Bailey. Someone had to take the picture so I'll post the other one too.
A very special moment for me came when my younger brother called me from Los Angeles telling me that I reminded him of Oprah Winfrey and that I was always encouraging him and telling him to believe. He said that this moment was so special for his age group and for young black men all over the world; that they have been reminded that they too, can achieve greatness and overcome perceived insurmountable odds. Yes, we can! I am sitting at my desk here at work, focused on God and surrendering to His will for my life. I too can affect positive change in someway and I shall! We all will if only we continue to believe! I love you all.
Peace and ONE Love,
Saniyyah
