It was really inspiring reading about your steemit journey so far. And the fact that you persevered despite the highs and lows you encountered definitely says a lot about you and your person. It takes a great deal of courage, boldness and self-will to not give up or back out even when the odds are clearly not in your favour. So good job bro.
And with regards to your constant remarks about you being a black man and stuff, Steemit is indeed an interesting and fun place to be which also promotes unity and brings people of different nationalities, races, tribes and backgrounds together. Steemit helps people bond on a whole new level. That's true and I've experienced it myself so I'm not just saying this for saying sake but I'm speaking from experience.
It was nice reading your "journey so far" experiences. And I was very motivated, inspired and deeply touched. More power to your elbow my brother and many more success stories ahead for us all. Amen.
