Centerlight Pop Wednesday: Bakari Sellers

Today’s Centerlight Pop goes to Bakari Sellers. I first learned his name while reading a magazine, not sure which one, but what stuck out was his name and that he is a 20 something man making a difference in his community.  I had to learn more about him, so I did what everyone in this generation does, I googled him and looked for him on facebook. I needed to know more, and what I discovered made him even more intriguing. At the age of 22 he was elected in the South Carolina House of Representative. He holds a JD from the University for South Carolina and from his recent facebook status updates he is actively involved in school reforms and spends a great deal of time speaking to students and participating in debates on how to improve the ever failing public school system.  Reading about him inspired me to work harder towards my goals.

Bakari has been to  the white house as a guest and has met the current president and he isn’t bad looking either.
