Family
My passion is my family There is a Museum in the city where I live in Montgomery AL called The National Memorial for Peace and Justice created by Bryan Stevenson and the Equal Justice Initiative or EJI. In that Museum on 2 different Plaques there is a name, Virgil Swanson, my great grandfather. He was lynched by an angry mob of terrorist white men in a little town called Greenville Georgia on August 25th 1913, for a crime he did not commit. This is one of the things that drives me and motivates me to be great and live my life to the fullest, because my great grandfather literally died for his legacy to live on.

An app for that
These days there is an app for everything, banking, shopping, food delivery etc. So why is there not an app to recommend shows? Imagine a small questionnaire users would fill out, then just like an online dating website you are matched with the shows that fit your criteria.

Black Magic
There was this young man who found a little black book one night. He opens the book and it has some names in the book, people that he knows, famous black people, like Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. etc. So he asks around about this book, to his friends and family, and people don’t know what to tell him about it. So he takes it to someone that he knows, that knows about ancient African spiritual practices, and he instantly tells him that this book is enchanted with some sort of black magic, and that he has heard of these type of books before, and that he has heard that these type of books grant special powers to who ever finds it. So the wise old man goes on to say that the other names that appear in the book were previous owners of the book and by writing your name in this book, you will be granted what it is that you desire the most. So the young man decides to write his name in the book since he is now the owner of the book and see what he is granted.
