For brothers only

I really wanted to comment on Anwan (Slim Charles) Glover's "For Brothers Only" column, "From The Streets To The Silver Screen" (April 2008). I feel that because of his life-changing experiences he is a talented man who can help me overcome my fears. I've always been told that "determination pays off." By hearing and reading real-life testimonies on a regular basis, I feel it gives me strength to continue my commitment to my poetry.

Every time I read about a young man or woman in my age group, it gives me hope--especially when they have grown up in a crime-infested area and have changed their lives. Thank you, EBONY, for continuing to produce great articles that inspire us all.
