Yeah, I am bragging.  This week I needed some good news. And I found it when BPI (Black Parent Initiative ) chose to name me as their first annual Black Excellence Award recipient. And let me tell you, I have gotten a few community awards in my day, but this one is special and the most heartfelt of all. I felt the love and God knows black people could do with a 1000 more BPIs to uplift our community. Thank you BPI and please know that you will always have a special place in my heart.
