Thank you to the Consortium of State School Boards Associations (COSSBA) for the opportunity to serve as the Opening Keynote Speaker at the UBA Preconference during the National Conference in Louisville, KY.

I began with a reminder I live by: every morning I give myself a round of applause. Sometimes you may be the only one cheering for you, and that is enough to keep moving forward.

Grateful for the opportunity to share and connect with education leaders from across the country as we continue the work of serving our scholars and communities.

Because before I graduated, before I pledged, before I came a father, I was a student.

For this we donated books that were banned in Florida. There are two ways to ensure you are not erased in time: write a book or join an organization committed to community empowerment. I did both!

Minding your business is not worrying about what he say, they say, it say, about you, because we only talk about people who are doing something.

So, if you don't want anyone to talk about you, don't do nothing.

When the calling on your life is bigger than you, trust that there is no battle bigger than the favor on your life. I call it the SIMPle factor. Quite frankly, that it factor boils down to two simple points: know who you are & know WHO you serve.

On a day where my Omega Psi Phi brothers gathered for the annual ,

I pulled away for two pivotal hours. Speaking at the conference proved to be the emotional recharge and professional training our educators deserve.

After signing my new book, From Demotion to Promotion and the Second Edition, From Remedial to Remarkable, I hit I-20 recharged myself. I returned to the event with a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper appreciation for the work teachers do every day. The energy of my fraternity brothers was infectious as we celebrated camaraderie and community, but my mind kept drifting back to the impactful conversations and inspiring stories shared at the conference.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the festivities, I found myself standing with a group of friends, reminiscing about our college days and discussing plans for the future. The air was filled with laughter and music, the perfect soundtrack to an evening that was both nostalgic and hopeful.

Later, I took a moment to reflect on the balance between personal joy and professional growth. It was clear that both aspects were essential to a fulfilling life, and I felt grateful for the opportunity to experience such a meaningful day.

Surrounded by friends and buoyed by the spirit of brotherhood, I realized that the connections we make—whether through shared traditions like or through the vital work of teaching—are what truly enrich our lives.

As I sit here reflecting on my From Demotion to Promotion book launch event, I am still in awe.

I am truly appreciative of the immense love and support shown.

To be surrounded by a team of talented, innovative, genuine leaders, is a huge blessing that I do not take lightly.

Whether you purchased both books or sponsored a class set, I thoroughly enjoyed making memories with each one of you.

Now, if you were unable to make it, we can still ship some books to your residence or place of business. Shoot us a quick message.

One million thanks to everyone who chipped in to bring this epic event to life, especially my team, Gianna N. Brown and Dijon Dacosta.
