It was such a pleasure to speak at Little Rock's first TEDx conference this summer. I remain grateful for this opportunity to share my perspective on promoting social change while discussing heir property retention and STEM educational opportunities.

I enjoyed this post! My father is seeking my help to protect our family's property in SC (Heiress Property). I'm pulling my resources together! Pray for me ...I have yet to began but, I'm determined to save my families legacy and bring economic wealth to those struggling. I applaud your efforts, and am encouraged by you!!!!

To know you options, dismiss excuses, start small, build confidence for larger future efforts are great steps

I dont know how we can do this but to assure each others success instead of always wanting more for ourselves. If i live next to ignorance i am not smart.
