gave gone heard league saying seeing spirits talk today uplifted urban
The Urban League used to come and talk to us. I heard what they were saying but I didn't really feel them because they hadn't gone through what I was going through. For the youth, seeing is believing. I think them seeing me today probably uplifted a lot of their spirits and gave them a little hope.

It was a crazy experience because she is a woman who everyone in the world looks up to, ... I mean, you walk in there and one of the first things you see is a picture of Nelson Mandela on the wall. That's when you realize just how big a situation it is. To go in there with my mother, whose been watching Oprah for years, it was just a really exciting experience, something I won't ever forget.
