Men We Love: Jeff Johnson

Jeff Johnson, shines a light on the atrocities of the world and allows us to dialogue and brain storm to become part of the solution.  At a time when our black leaders are aging and getting more and more self serving. (I'm looking at you Jesse Jackson) Jeff Johnson fills a gaping void in the black diaspora:  Grass Roots Activist with Smooth TV Ready Appeal (I'm giving you the side eye, Sharpton).

In his new book "Everything I'm not Made Me Everything I Am"  he challenges "the post–Civil Rights generation to stop making excuses, overcome personal challenges, and create lives filled with passion, meaning, and service" NOW, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

I'm just glad he was able to drop that ''Cousin" bulljive from his name. Nobody is walking around calling Anderson Cooper 'Uncle Andy'!  You know how BET does us. Check out Jeff's Nation on BET and Online, and on the Tom Joyner Morning show. Oh, and buy the book.
