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.

Happy hump day everyone! I always loved wednesdays! Because I always knew that once wednesday came, Friday was just around the corner. So to make hump day even more interesting and exciting, I decided to have centerlight pop wednesdays! Every wednesday I will talk about anyone or anything centerlight pop ready, as in buzz worthy in my eyes.

This week’s centerlight pop goes to Misty Copeland, who at the age of 13 started taking ballet lessons and quickly became an award winning dancer at 15. Considered to be a prodigy she became the third black female soloist for the American Ballet Theater. When I first heard about her and her accomplishments I was happy and then sad that it took this long for that to happen. Misty Copeland is 28 years old and is only the third ballerina at the ABT to be a soloist? Oh my, times haven’t changed as much as I hoped now have they?

Doesn’t this picture make you want to start yoga and become more flexible? Just AH-MAY-ZIN!
