He then shared that his brother, who was also a doctor, had just passed away at 59. It hit me as a reminder that you never know when or where life is going to throw something unexpected at you. Stay healthy and take care of yourselves, everyone.

The civil rights movement also started small and was scoffed at in the beginning, but it kept getting bigger and stronger. So will this. The president has to act fast, because if he doesn’t, this could mark the beginning of the end for his ugly self and everything he stands for.

So I started shining shoes for men getting off the subway in NYC. Two months later, I had enough to buy extra gear and rent it to my friends for $10 a day. Looking back, I never thanked my dad for that tough love — the “no” that pushed me to grow up and build something on my own.
