Being an African American in the year of 2008 is a very proud moment in time. I know many of us feel this sense of pride knowing that we have a bi-racial or as some call him an African American Presidential nominee.
Although I am truly impress with Mr. Obama, I am more intrigued with his wife Michelle. I won’t go into all of my reasons, but I will say that she is a positive role model for not just African-American women, but all women.
Here is my concern however. Mr. Obama cannot save the African-American race. We cannot put the burden on him to improve our communities, strengthen our families, and educate our children. We are the true leaders. This is where wealth comes into play. Since women make so many financial decisions, we need to do the right things with our money! We need to own a home, stay out of debt, and teach our children that buying $200 shoes with someone else name on them is not a sign of wealth.
I think the Obama’s are truly inspirational, but we need to be careful not to relying on him or anyone else for that matter to lead us. We all need to be leaders in our communities and start with understanding the importance of OWENRSHIP and true WEALTH.
Now be a leader with your day!
