I know alot of people dont see me as the pagaent kinda dude, and truthfully im not, but I was asked (repetitively) to participate in this event and i finally broke down and agreed. I kinda had mixed feelings to start off but once the practice run started, I kinda could see what a beneficial event this was to the black community on campus. Mason is a predominantly white university so this black pagaent pretty much showcased the good things and postive steps that African Americans are making. So I became pretty flattered that i was asked to be apart. In a nut shell, I was asked a question saying what song describes my life best. I picked "Feeling It" by Jay-Z, and for my talent i did poem that I wrote myself about a young relationship entitled " She's Not There". I wanna give a shout out to my escort Ariel, she's a friend of mine and she accepted my invitation at the last minute, so she was pretty much a lifesaver...Ultimately i didnt win, but one of my good colleagues won, and I was pleased with my performance, so it was a win win situation...oh and you know i had to rock the Angels and Politics on Stage!
