This is one of greatest documentaries about some of the most influential black people in our community. Take an hour out of your life to watch it whether you black, white, purple, red or blue. I remember watching this a few years ago and feeling like I could do and be anything just like one of them. A quote that I am reminded of and try to live by daily is one by Keenan Ivory Wayans. In a conversation with his father while discussing wether or not he'd complete his engineering degree instead of pursuing comedy.........
"If I have a cushion that I know I can fall on, I'll allow myself to fall, but if I know there's nothing but hard concrete, I'm gonna do my best to stay standing"
I am grateful for those great people that came before me and that influence me to be my best self.
