We see the importance for role models, like Merri Dee, for the young adults who want to succeed. There are people of excellence in many professions - media, like Merri Dee or math and science, business, ministry, financing, politics and so on.
In Black History Month, Merri Dee is an excellent person from whom to learn. She turned tragedy into triumph, near loss of life into the reason to be grateful for all of life. But she is the first to tell young people, as she has when she has been our Emcee at the Life Directions' Salute, know yourself and be the best you can be as you.
It good to study what went into their growth and maturity. The values they held. The teachings that fashioned their thinking. The people who went before them. The cause they claimed.
But when it all over, it is important to take equal time to find out what are your assets, your talents and skills and to find a way to do what can only be done by you.
