One of Barry's favorite quotes is:"A great man once said that, “If opportunity doesn’t knock, simply find a way to pick the lock!” Learning from my accomplishments and my many past mistakes, I am very grateful to finally understand what that quote really means. As I closed the old mundane chapter in my life, I now find myself living without regrets and hesitation... I will call it my "True knowledge of self, true happiness!"".
More about Barry:""Never explain yourself to anyone! The person who loves you doesn't need it and the person who dislikes you won't belive it."

I'm an educator who currently lives in Atlanta. I feel truly blessed to enjoy a career that helps students become educated not only in academics, but in life itself.

that, I still read allot (nerd!)…it seems it’s keeping me out of trouble when I have nothing else to do. LOL! Painting, Photography, Poetry/Spoken Word, Beats, Journalism/Creative Writing, Graphics, Art Media, Fine Arts, and Street Arts. I also seem to be addicted to playing soccer and hanging with my crew at local functions, events, & lounges here in Atlanta. It’s nothing more than a way to relax and reflect. Everyone needs an outlet and if you don't have one, I suggest you find yours.
My motivation comes from: The Most High! My Daughter Kameela, Summer, Daddy, Momma, Sherrie, Tre, Myself, Hip Hop in General, Love and Hate, All of my students, The people I hurt in the past, The People that hurt me, Friends, Enemy’s, Ancestors, My Numark NS7, babies with flies on their cheeks, Che, blood diamonds, authors, actors, poets, kids who cant read, freedom fighters, Gandhi, Assatta, Ali, peace & war, Meditation, Ignorant people, Fela, Richard Allen, Mumia, Truth, Prosperity, Light, A.M.E., Islam, slavery, Basra, Poverty, Biko, Genocide, Baghdad, Racist, oil, Mosul, Darfur, Africa, Life, Death, Palestine, Police brutality, Humanity, Injustice..you get the point.
My other motivation comes from being around the old and new people (friends) in my life because they are all so positive and are showing me that it's possible to approach trivial issues with a cool head and end up with better results. You know who you are and I thank you for that!".
