Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It

by Charlamagne Tha God

No matter how or where you were raised, you can make the choice to live a different way.

Too many people, especially millennials, lack the vision to recognize opportunity when there’s not a paycheck attached to it.

Books helped give me the confidence to dream bigger than I was supposed to as a poor black boy growing up in the rural South.

People don’t realize how a man’s whole life can be changed by one book. —Malcolm X

Facts!

it ain’t where you’re from physically, but where you’re at mentally that allows someone to transcend their circumstances.

Never stunt your own growth by dismissing something just because it doesn’t feel familiar.

no matter where life takes you, you must never get detached from those roots.

The danger of procrastination is that we can get stuck in it for our entire lives.

have complete faith that as long as you follow YOUR dream, you’re going to find success.

Gratitude is always my Attitude,
