Lies Between Us - Roger Ray Bird
At the foundational floor of my core oracle is truth. I have lived to learn only by way of truth do I truly live. Sharing the learned truths of life, I attempt to help us all...all my sisters, all my brothers. My need to help arose after watching my mother try to survive as a homeless mentally incapacitated bag lady on the streets of Baltimore. I try...I try to share, I try to be authentic, and I try to help everyone without imposing assumptions, judgments, or blame upon them. I try to help those who cannot help themselves, those just like my mother. As a former junkie, high school dropout, professional athlete, and global corporate business executive, I've seen a thing or three. This is not about me, this is about us.
