Motivation For Black People

In the second installment of this special Black History Month series called ‘Forward’, Justin guides us on a journey of self-exploration to understand our inclination to look outside of ourselves for acceptance, validation, or purpose.  He explains how staying woke is more than a catchphrase. It’s a call to action that recognizes our collective consciousness brings us closer to living the life we want to live instead of defaulting into prescribed norms. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. The revolution is now. It starts within. It starts with you.To pre-order Justin’s book, Stay Woke, visit: http://www.staywokegiveback.comTo support Justin’s movement to give back to underprivileged youth visit: http://staywokegiveback.org
