I just had to write to you. I have been in chat rooms, web sites, and many other forums on the net and I'm sorry to say this is the only site where the Black man is honored. I created a club just recently, because I thought there was no place on the net to honor our brothers. Its called "The Black Man Riseth Again". It's where I tell stories of my life and my experiences with Black men.

My husband and I met in college. We dated 5 years before we got married and we've been married for 15 years. He has given me hope that my son will be among the "good Black man society". My husband is not very smart, he's not very ambitious, or business minded. But he is the head of our house.

He is big, strong, and yet nurturing. I came from a small town in the south and he is from New York City. He has shown me that life is not handed to you, but is there for you to do with what is good. He is an honest man, a devout husband and exceptional father.

It has just dawned on me that he wants the same things I want in this relationship. Its not been a piece of cake, but our battle scars are a symbol of our perseverance. The long term goal of keeping our family together no matter what.

There is so much more I can say about him, but I wont. I just had to comment when I found your site. I, as a Black woman, find it depressing to here day in and day out , "where are all the good Black men". I want every women to have what I have and be proud of it.

I was delighted and pleased to honor a man who has been an inspiration in my life. A man who has been by my side for 13  years. A man who has been a dream come true. A man who has gained the respect of his community, his church, and his family. A father of four beautiful children and a grandfather of twelve wonderful children.

Donald loves the Lord and puts Him first in everything he does. He is very active in the community and the church. As a member of the Gospel Tabernacle Baptist Church, he worked for the Lord in two ministries: audio/visual and security. Besides helping out at the church.

Donald is also a professional truck driver and an entrepreneur. His truck driving job requires him to work anywhere between 10 to 12 hours a day as well as working in and operating a beauty/barber shop. He is a bundle of kinetic energy.

Donald is a kind, hard working and honest man. There is never a day that goes by when he doesn't open his arms to help his fellow man. He is a great asset to the community. He strives hard for perfection and has a "never-say-never" attitude.

During the busy holidays, Donald takes time to adopt and sponsor needy families. He collects, contributes and delivers food, clothing and money to these families. he is readily available to help anyone at any time.

Donald is full of wit, humor, and love. As an African American entrepreneur, he opens the door for all young and old barbers and beauticians. Donald helps you succeed whether you're a custodian cleaning floors, a young barber with little experience or a master apprentice with years of experience. He encourages his workers. He motivates his employees. He develops a good working relationship with clients as well as with the other businesses in the Randallstown area.

He's my friend, lover, soul mate and the man God sent to me. That's why I am honoring this "one-of-a-kind", modest, humble, "never-say-never" husband of 13 long and loving years.
