A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
I was just lucky enough to meet Arianna Huffington in person a few minutes ago here at the Social Venture Network Conference for socially responsible businesses. She gave a great keynote speech which received a standing ovation. I highly recommend her book “Fearless” which in part inspired me to launch JJP back in the day.
Here are a few things Arianna said tonight that I thought you might find of interest:
“it wasn’t just obama who was inaugurated. We were all inaugurated…we must all take responsibility.”
“stop looking for leadership from Washington and start looking in the mirror… Do it with urgency and commitment knowing that this is the way change will come”
“HuffPo Impact is 24/7 about people who need help and people who are helping…and not just at Christmas! Send stories to impact@huffingtonpost.com…”
