Thank you Baltimore for last night. Coming home and speaking at my high school, Baltimore School for the Arts was a powerful experience. To return to a place where I hadnt realized I was still so deeply rooted, with all the tangible history and memories, was a bit overwhelming but a beautiful reminder of how it all began and who was there for me in the beginning. I am grateful for the experience. It truly grounded me with memories of what was and what has been. I got to speak to the senior class in a theatre I was able to name in honor of Tupac when we donated money to help enhance the school. I also spoke to a few hundred people in the theatre that had once been our homeroom and had the opportunity to see old friends and a few administrators who guided us during our 4 year tenure. I admire them for returning every year to guide the upcoming Tupacs, Jadas and Josh Charles (Josh also attended BSA with us) that roam their halls. The night was nostalgic, emotional and a true reminder that life is about making a beautiful patchwork of events that will belong to you for an eternity. Ive lived a lot of life, and I am grateful to still be here to say so :) Live. J
