Prayer over graduates at Nicholls State University.
I gave a speech at RIT’s College of Imaging Arts and Sciences commencement ceremony. I hope some friends and family members who didn’t get to make it there can check it out now!
Also, thank you to everyone who got me to this point: Frank Cost for giving me the chance to speak, William and Amy Snyder for their last minute editing skills, and to Brené Brown, for the articulate rendering of her idea, which greatly assisted my own.

Walking around RIT at 5 in the morning, I passed the parking lot where I said a tearful goodbye to my pops on the first day of school. Convocation is tomorrow.
