Congratulations to all of the 2009 graduates. 

Due to the economic crisis, this may not be the best time to graduate but a time like this will spark creativity and innovation to those who have the hunger to succeed.

This picture was taken as my business school class proceeded in the Howard University commencement parade.  The picture is of Ernest Talbert (Product Manager Hanesbrands), Benyam Tesfai (State Street Investment Banker/Marketer) and myself.  We began a journey two years ago and we made it!
