Paul believes in educating all of our young boys of color through middle and high school in order to prepare them to go to and through college. Paul seeks to continue the dialogue and respond to the call for action around this critical issue.

"Never take someone for granted. Hold every person close to your heart
because you might wake up one day and realize that you've lost a diamond,
while you were too busy collecting stones..."
"The Ability to accept delay or disappointment. To smile at setbacks and
respond with a pleasant, understanding spirit. To remain calm while others
around are uneasy. This is Godly patience. Never think that God's Delays
are God's Denials. Hold on; Hold fast; Hold out. Patience is genius."
