#RepresentationMatters: The Importance of Black Presidents, Black Panther and Black GCs in Black History Month 2018
No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you. --Althea Gibson None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! I thought I would share on here an article I wrote and posted on LinkedIn for #BHM in 2018 that was inspired by a tweet by one of my favorite Twitter mutuals Tiffany Graves.

You don’t post for me, then, because I never swear off, lol 🤣
So far this year I have ordered Girl Scout Cookies for my household & my mom’s from 2 different friends’ daughters in addition to ordering from a troop in Minneapolis. And I can’t say for sure I won’t order more! Send help! And milk…😩😂🍪🥛

Happy 75th Birthday, William Katt 🎉🎈🎂
My 2nd favorite tv theme song of all time (after “Amen”): I remember next to nothing about the details of the tv show “The Greatest American Hero,” but that theme song “Believe It Or Not” is an all timer! 🦸♂️🎶📺
Fun Fact: William Katt’s mom was “Perry Mason” tv star Barbara Hale (Della Street)

A giant loss: Robert Duvall is gone. An extraordinary artist who was fluent in every dialect of film acting, from ice-cold underplayer (The Godfather) to expert naturalist (Tender Mercies, The Apostle) to balls-to-the-wall maniac (Apocalypse Now). One of our all-timers. Plunge into that filmography.
Robert Duvall, the legendary actor whose career has spanned over six decades, has died at 95, his wife announced

#RIP to a great one. The Godfather 1 (released the year I was born, 1972) and 2 (1974) are two of my all time favorite movies. As a lawyer & a recruiter of lawyers (and as a General Counsel recruiter, specifically), I always learn something watching his Tom Hagen. RIP, Consigliere 🕊️
