African American children are significantly more likely to be obese than are white children. Nearly half of African American children will develop diabetes at some point in their lives.

After I got out of law school and worked in a big law firm, I thought, there are so many kids like me, in my neighborhood, that could be here if they had more support from their families, better financial aid. But the gap is so wide once you miss that opportunity. So I was always interested in figuring out, How do you bridge that?

And if we’re feeling good with those choices, then it makes what everybody else has to say less important.
