Report back from my trip to the state capitol with the Alliance for Boys and Men of Color: “I always aspired to go to a four-year University but my counselors weren’t supportive… I looked around the ballroom and saw that everyone had the same drive to want to make a difference.”
I didn’t know what to expect when we caught the Amtrak from Jack London up to the state capitol for the state assembly’s select committee to discuss the status of men and boys of color in California.
I was the same age as Trayvon Martin when he was killed. It was the first shooting case that got national attention where I felt connected — like I could relate.
