Good memories never grow old. The Operation HOPE family was honored to host my fellow YGL (Forum of Young Global Leader), friend and CEO of BBDO New York, John Osborn, for a CEO Leadership Discussion at our Operation HOPE Financial Literacy Empowerment Center in Harlem. John did an incredible job that evening, and was well received by all who attended. Thank you John for all that you do to "bridge the gaps" that needlessly separate our society.
John Osborn and his team at BBDO NY are a walking, talking, living example of Love Leadership in action. Thanks for all you do.

Pure, unadulterated class, substance and authenticity. That is my first description of and for my new friend, Grammy award recipient and talented actress Jennifer Holiday. I first met Jennifer with my Goddaughter Kirstin Fouche' when we decided at the last minute to attend the Watch Night services at Ebenezer Church, my new church here in Atlanta, on New Year's Eve. After an appearance that left me speechless, Jennifer came and sat down next to me amongst the congregation. I immediately moved so that my Goddaughter Kirstin could sit next to her, as Kirstin admired and still admires Jennifer greatly. Jennifer could not be more loving and gracious to Kirstin, both then and after her performance back in the offices of Reverend Dr. Raphael Warnock. I knew I liked and respected her at that moment. I have often said, "I would prefer you respect me and learn to like me, rather than like me, and never respect me." Well, I quickly learned to both like and respect Jennifer.

The first annual Operation HOPE, John Hope Bryant 4th of July Picnic in Bryant Park was a great success and an amazing time for all who attended. A number of young people not only had a lot of family fun playing in Bryant Park, but several of them also received their very own and first ever bank account, as Operation HOPE awarded several HOPE $25 Starter Savings Accounts as gifts to the first youth who signed up for an on-site Banking on Our Future financial literacy course, which was taught on the 4th by our very own James Bailey of the Operation HOPE, Atlanta team. One of the youth recipients is pictured above.

Some things you just do not get enough of. Yesterday I had an opportunity to sit down once again with one of our nation's true living legends and American "sheroes," Mrs. Marian Wright Edelman. Beyond the fact that she has founded one of the most significant organizations in our nation's vaulted history, and continues to play a pivotal role today in the overall development in the lives (and public policy) of children and their families, she also played a part in civil rights history that most are unaware.

I am proud to announce and officially introduce today www.loveleadershipbook.com, as the new official website for my now bestselling business book, LOVE LEADERSHIP: The New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World (Jossey-Bass). This new website brings the best of the insights, reviews, reader feedback, videos, interviews, photos, reflections and (unpublished) views of the author, of and around the growing Love Leadership approach to living and prospering in a fear-based world.
