Each of us is a unique expression of the one revelation, the revelation that God Is.

Giving Thanks

 

A very special thank you to my parents, Etienne & Gay Caroline and my brother, Etienne III for their unconditional love and support as I travel life's journey.  While working on this project, I called on them day, night, and sometimes the wee hours of the morning.  I love and appreciate you.

 

My heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the following people for opening their hearts, sharing their stories, articles, photographs,  and most of all, believing in this project.  Thank you.

 Calling Dreams

 

The right to make my dreams come true
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand.

 

Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now, at length, I rise, I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

 

Georgia Douglas Johnson, Poet of the Harlem Renaissance (1922)
