Testimonial
Hello, I would just like to say Thank You, for the great conference
this weekend - in San Diego.
I was so very proud and elated to see our young brothers and older
brothers - all together in one place - for a great cause.
I saw so much respect and pride - Young, Gifted and Black. I would
like to thank the founder, Dr. Bledsoe for allowing a waiver for my
nephew, Donshay Bandy. Donshay is a great young man, but he needs
positive and constant role models in his life. His father is in
prison, but he never has let that get in the way of his passion to
succeed, and football. He is a good student - which I emphasis first
and foremost. He does not come from a home that gets it - for our
youth. But, I Thank God, that his grandmother and me - try to do the
best that we can with him - and so far, so good.
I seen the pride, confidence in Donshay, Malcom and Malichi - other
young men who attended the conference - immediately - upon picking
them up from the conference. I felt so inspired by these very young
men - who are already smart, but the conference - just delivered
more - confidence and pride within them - and in their souls.
I was so honored to be in their presence on the way home - asking,
and listening to their thoughts. I call them the young - "Barrack
Obamas". I told them - they sounded as if they were in the White
House.
Thank You all so much. Your staff was awesome too. I will Thank - an
awesome brother here in San Diego - Michael Brunker, Director of the
Jackie Robinson YMCA, one who is constantly "bringing it - in the
community".
Sincerely,
D.Ann Roberson, M.C.D.C.C.
