"You are me & I am you. We all have a stake in one specific future (OURS)"

EDUCATION is our primary tool to restructure the fractured based of America’s minority family. ENTERTAINMENT is the psychological tool to positive or negative peer pressure which instills confidence in our YOUTH to stand against or with the bureaucratic system of failure and vulnerability. BUSINESS is the development stone of success and prosperity or enslavement amongst the ignorant. So, WE must unify the entities of EDUCATION, ENTERTAINMENT, & BUSINESS positively to omit the robust crisis in our YOUTH COMMUNITY.

Dear America,As your dreams start to unfold, life obstacles become a stream of gold. A taste of pain and a taste of sacrifice are included in the formula of success, but all you have to do is try your best. No man is perfect, but a man can strive for an excellent grade. Because of the striving man, his pain will start to decay. Like a brother and a friend, I have hope that we will both accomplish our noble dreams as hard as it may seem. Through our voices, the singers we are, at this time we do not need a fancy car. Stand strong America as our dreams start to unfold, life obstacles will continue to become a stream of gold.Jordan J Fowlkes

Dear America,
A man stands with a vision for his home land. He wonders with a stern belief that someday America will be free. He works hard everyday, for he wants better for his nation-the building block he says. So patiently he waits to speak out to those with power. At nights, he have thoughts of the hidden poverty on Tennessee’s countryside- Arkansas unbelievable stories. While he thinks of the vulnerable families in Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana, he awaits for his America dream to have the power to free those whom can‘t escape. As the disturbance of the divest landscape, the STI (Sexual Transmitted Infection) epidemic, the escalating victims of HIV~AIDS and the reluctance of unemployment, he says, “We must stand together. We must wakeup America. Our nation is dying.” With humbleness, he walks- his journey continues. His name is Jordan J. Fowlkes

"The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams." Oprah Winfrey
You haven’t really live life until you have worked so hard to get yourself into the position that you have always dreamed of. The adventure truly doesn't come alive until you are able to look back over all the hard work and obstacles you had to endure.
The blossoming of a flower may mean nothing to those who come pass, but it may mean the world to that Gardner who so patiently gave the plant water every day, provided the soil for nutrients and also as a place to root itself- set it in the position to receive just the right amount of sunlight needed to properly develop into something grand. The gardener worked hard, all so he can experience that moment his hard work would have paid off; he patiently awaited the day that the plant would open up its petals to the world and spring forth its beauty and radiance.

"I always knew I was destined for greatness."
---------Oprah Winfrey
If the little voice inside your head keeps telling you that where you are in life in not where your supposed to be , its time to move on. If you know that deep down inside that you could be doing better in life but you are just settling for what you have, then its time to start listening to that little voice and dont stop until you reach that destination. Success is not as far away as it seems, your vision is just not clear enough. If you focus on success, your visions becomes clearer and then once you realize that all you needed was right in front of you, you have reached your destiny.

"I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions."
------Barack Obama
We must not judge a man or woman because of their sexual orientation. We must not judge a man or woman because their religion may differ from ours. We must release equal opportunity to all. We must accept the changes that the 21 century has to offer. We must not envy those who are experiencing their American dreams or want to help us succeed. We must support those who support good will. I say to you America, for I believe in our dignity, we are going to build a land of opportunist.

"Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs."
------ Bill Gates
We must understand that there are millions of people who work for a living. There are millions of people who work to make sure there is food on the table. There are millions of people who strive for the highest peak. But how can they keep their journey moving if they do not have support from there American family. We must understand that everyone has the opportunity to succeed. We must act now. We must build a campaign of opportunist to re-build our nation of opportunity. I stand with you today. I will stand with you tomorrow. We must realize how devastating it is to not have money to feed your family or pay your bills. We are Americans.
"Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself."
---------Bill Gates
We must stand for our country. We must find our country’s promises. We must find each other. We must be go-getters for the improvement of our movement to the Promise Land. We must come to reality that our nation needs uplift. We must re-build America's resume so that our nation’s reputation will not diminish. We must have hope. We must be prepared for our competitive future with other nations. We must not be arrogant as a nation.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
----------- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
We must not ignore the struggling working class. We must not ignore the mother and father who's struggling to feed their family. We must not ignore our high deficit in which our leaders are accumulating. We must not ignore the rights of the homosexual who's fighting for "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." We must not ignore the struggles of small business owners who are trying their best to provide jobs for our middle class. We must not ignore our broken educational system- our future generations will suffer. We must not ignore our campaign for change- our country will fall into the hands of the unknown. We must believe in the nation that we as a people created. We must fix our broken systems.
"If I had some set idea of a finish line, don't you think I would have crossed it years ago?"
We must not give up on our plant we’ve strived so hard to grow. We must not stop our movement to the Promise Land. We must continue our journeys. In life we will endure obstacle which aren't easy, but there is nothing impossible to overcome. We must believe in our dreams. We must have passion to succeed. We must not fear the sacrifices that we will take.
