I'm very much looking forward to my trip to New Haven this Thursday. I'll be speaking to students at the Metropolitan Business Academy as part of their Black History Month celebration. I spoke with the school's assistant principal today and asked him if he was excited. What I meant to say was that I'm bursting with excitement! My parents met in New Haven. They both participated in a summer program at Yale University while they were in college. Many moons later, here comes Lauren to spread peace and joy!
I'm grateful for the opportunity to speak with these students who I might otherwise never have met, and I hope to be of service to them. I do believe I can highlight a few principles from my life that will improve some aspect of their life experience. I'm also grateful--in advance--for the chance to really engage with some young leaders! One of my favorite quotes is this: "Attention is the most basic form of love; through it we bless and are blessed." That's a John Tarrant quote. This Thursday morning, all my attention will be focused on how I can best engage, challenge, and inspire the young men and women of Metropolitan Business Academy.
Until then!
