Some say nothing good comes out of Oakland, CA. With all of the news of murder and crime, the city has taken a black eye from the media. I am here to tell you that Oakland has produced many good people who have made significant contributions. I can name three, Denise, Dana and Leslie, my Three Sisters.
These three strong women, raised by an equally strong mother, have worked hard to overcome many challenges in their lives. Whether working their way through college or overcoming barriers caused by simply being women, they possess fortitude that has led to many significant accomplishments. Denise is an budget analyst, Dana an educator and Leslie a Registered Nurse. All of them are leaders in their professions and highly respected.
What makes them special is that they serve their community, church and family in a way that elevates the lives of the people they touch. As their brother, I am so proud of what they have been able to accomplish personally and professionally.
It is very easy to look outside your own family for examples of leadership, I am fortunate not to have to look any further than my Three Sisters.
