At this present moment I am sitting in a hospital room with my Grandmother, the most beautiful woman alive, as she recovers from a pacemaker installation procedure. My Grandmother has been suffering from congestive heart failure - she is 89 years old,
Despite our efforts to convince her otherwise, my Grandmother choose the DNR and DNI option. When asked why her response was "I'm old, I lived a long life and if I go I go." My spunky Grandmother said it with a smile on her face. Ms. Harrison is confident that she has left her mark on this earth.
My Grandmother is not a rich woman. Doesn't have a large savings account but she still left such a rich legacy to myself, her other grandchildren, children and great grandchildren. Her lesson of unconditional love and commitment to God and family has been taught to all of us and encouraged to share with others. My Grandmother would "literally" give the shirt off her own back to a cold, shivering person. Ina Harrison's face should be pictured in a dictionary next to the word "selfless."
I desire to be just like my Grandmother. She is the most beautiful woman I know. While she is still here I will learn all I can from her. She still has so much to teach us all. We are her legacy.
Live and Leave a Legacy. Like my Grandmother <3

It Takes A Team To Accomplish Greatness
Recently I posted a picture to Instagram of a good friend and team member sitting at Starbucks as she was helping plan things out with The ROLE Call. Carrie Hood is the co-founder of a DC based company that aides with marketing and promotion called Growth Matters. The picture spawned a comment by a beloved coworker of mine who lovingly and jokingly said to me that I was full of myself, acting like I have all these employees working for me. We laughed it off but the truth is that the people that work alongside The ROLE Call do what they do because of the important mission ahead, some of those people including myself do it for zero compensation.
The ROLE Call is fortunate enough to have people who are dedicated to fulfilling a cause much greater than themselves. A cause that is guaranteed to make communities of civilizations, not just in the US but all over the world, better. This cause is to Eradicate Fatherlessness.
Andre D. Harrison may be the visionary behind this project but he is not the project. Long after Mr. Harrison The ROLE Call will continue its effort to encourage fathers to Play Their ROLE... So as The ROLE Call team continues to press forward The ROLE Call wishes to share gratitude to all who make The ROLE Call an effective force in the communities that has and will have a chapter.
