I Am Somebody The Beginning of A Dream

By Holt

I Am Somebody: The Beginning of a Dream focuses on the love of a black American mother and father toward their unborn son. Often, many of our young black men are ignored by society as a future hope to the world and are being buried way before their time. Daily, they are caught up in the world of addiction, trauma, poverty, lack of education and skills which eventually lead to incarceration or death. There have been too many scientists, doctors, engineers, teachers and artists lost as a result of the genocide committed upon generations of black people in America. Now, an urgent sense of self-pride and somebodiness must be repeated to our sons and daughters while they are still in their mothers' wombs. Words of affirmation and pride must echo through the umbilical cord of life to the brain of the unborn. We must succeed and never forget the sacrifices of our forefathers and foremothers.

"Number one in your life's blueprint should be a deep belief in your own dignity, your own worth, and your own somebodiness. Don't allow anybody to make you feel that you are nobody. Always feel that you count. Always feel that you have worth, and always feel that your life has ultimate significance." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
