I Don’t Want To Be Your Michael Jordan

If I ever get enough exposure where my voice could move souls or impact a community positively & tremendously, I don’t want to be a Michael Jordan. He never was much of a social activist. Now, Muhammad Ali, he stood for something- social activist and philanthropist. I don’t want to be portrayed as just another form of entertainment – rampant individualism, profit without conscience. I want to be a leader. I want to help people get out of culture shackles. I want people to not be afraid to voice themselves. I want people to pursue their dreams. Don’t ask me to fit your stereotypes. Don’t ask me to keep in line. My calling isn’t corporatism. It’s human rights.
