Recognizing True Leadership. That's the title of one of my hero's editorials -- Mr. Earl Graves, Sr., the Publisher of Black Enterprise magazine. I'm so inspired by Mr. Graves words each and every month. This man clearly loves his community and not only cares that we make a way for ourselves, but gives us the tools to make it happen. I value true 'leadership' and Mr. Graves brings it home in his message: While "leadership is highly valued in our society...it's far more than fame and fortune...leadership boils down to one thing; the ability to positively affect others."

Check out Mr. Graves entire 'Publisher Page' in the June 2008 edition of Black Enterprise - the one with the incredible Ms. Oprah Winfrey on the cover!
