Brown Diamond Spotlight
Congratulations to all of my sorors, celebrating 89 years of FINER Womanhood!
So, here we are in 2009 and I must say that it has begun with a bang! My president's black. My SuperBowl XLIII Championship coach is Black... And, I am officially BLUE! That's right!!! Your girl is not only studying for a Masters degree in Public Policy and International Affairs; I am also officially a member of the finest sorority there is: Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, INCORPORATED! So, for all of my sorors and frat reading this, a big BLUE-PHIIII and much dove love to each and every one of you!
We're doing big things this year. So, for this month, I will do my very best to update the blog daily with spotlights on my favorite people of color who are doing big things, on the local, national, and international stage...
Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th president of the United States of America. Against unthinkable odds, our president rose from obscurity to create a legacy builty on integrity, morality, hard work, and intelligence. Never have we had a president like President Obama. It feels so good to say that. Color/ Race aside, because we cannot and should not deny his Caucasian ancestry, he is poised, polished, and personal. He carries himself like a man should, always keeping his faith and his family foremost. We haven't seen the likes of him in many years, and not even Bill Clinton can touch his swagger. Not even McCain, Bush, or even Hillary could stop his shine. President Obama is a force to be reckoned with. In his first two weeks in office, he has closed Guantanamo and pushed the stimulus bill through Congress. It also comes as know shocker that he was Time magazine's person of the year! His dedication is apparent. I am sure we are all looking forward to seeing his next steps to rebuild our country.
In Sports news...
Mike Tomlin is the youngest Superbowl winning coach, the 3rd African American coach to make it to the big game, the 1st African American head coach in Pittsburgh Steelers history, and the 2nd African American coach in NFL history to win the Superbowl.
