Accountability is a word I must always keep close to me. Although I didn’t grow up in the best environment or the fact that I experienced many things that have affected my perception of things, I can not use those as excuses for my actions. I did wrong because I chose to do wrong. Just […]

This morning, while thinking more about what I want to share with students at UC Berkeley, whom I’ll address tomorrow, I reflected on the lessons I’ve shared over the years.
