Derek Luke Instagram – “Opportunities motivate me because I was once scared to dream … to the point where I wouldn’t even do it because I knew I wouldn’t be accepted… I know I’m great now, so I know there’s not anything I can’t accomplish.”⁣

Powerful video from @tommiemabry, flooded with emotion and pride when he received his PHD… ⁣
Tommie grew up facing many obstacles… Youth incarceration, repeated expulsion from multiple elementary and middle schools, gun violence.. But Tommie found his path forward through basketball and his faith 🏀🙏🏿 He surrounded himself with people who were lifting him up, who believed in him.. Who saw all the beautiful possibilities in HIM! ⁣
