Faithful in the small things

Thursday, I had the privalige to share my gift of poetry and song as a part of the University of Tennessee's Celebration of 50 Years of African American Achievement. I began to think back to when I first started acting in high school, and I never would have imagined that people would start asking me to perform, and that at times I would get paid to do so. Never neglect the small things. Those talent shows or singing at your church, etc. Those things build your skill and confidence, and those things get you to where you are living out your dreams. Be faithful in all you do, so that in due time, you can reap the fruits of your labors. Below are some photos that were taken by my friend Jessica Yonker.
