"I was overwhelmed. Such knowledge, enthusiasm, and charisma from two young African-American males are the type of stimulus our community needs. The spirit and the combined voices . . . are invaluable and long overdue."

"In my twenty-six years in education, I have never seen students so attentive and attuned to a speaker. To say that they (and the staff) were mesmerized is an understatement! You were everything they said you'd be and more. To steal from their vernacular, you're certainly A all that!"

"Channel ZerO needs to be nationalized, i.e., institutionalized. Young professionals around the country seeking purpose should have Channel ZerO at their disposal so that they can give back to our children the knowledge, gifts, and love they have received from significant others."

"First, I have to say thank you for the message you presented. I know in my heart that the Lord brought me to your workshop on Saturday. I had been going through some serious things in my life. Anyway, to make a long story short since I know your time is valuable, the best thing I did that entire convention was attending your workshop and listening to your word, in addition to purchasing your CD. It has touched my heart in a way that you will never understand. I have listened to the CD at least 15 times since Sunday (it is playing on my computer in office as I type - I probably could deliver your message as much as I have listened to it and internalized it). Speaking of the CD, I need an address to send you some money. The message touched me so much that I had to make a copy and send it to a dear friend of mine. To bring this whole point to a close, I just wanted to say thank you for living your dream and touching the lives of our people. I got away from doing that since I joined Corporate America. "
