The Baltimore Afro Newspaper humbles me
I was blessed to be selected by the Afro Newspaper’s Trends Magazine as one of the “25 Under 40 Emerging Black History Leaders” in the Baltimore/DC area.
I thank the Afro for considering me to be recognized. Everyone likes positive acknowledgement. My goal is to be “great” as redefined by Dr. Martin King, Jr. in his “Drum Major Instinct” sermon. He says that it’s ok to want to be great/acknowledged/important, but encourages us to define greatness on the basis of level of service to others. In that way, I want to be the greatest. I want to serve my community, my people, and ultimately the human family in every way that I possibly can.
In reading the magazine, I was inspired by the other 24 young adults who are doing some really fascinating things in various areas of society. I was motivated by their stories to live up to the high standards that they have set. While - thanks be unto God - I have been blessed to accomplish some things of note - after reading the magazine I understood very quickly that there is so much more than I can do if I would but increase my focus and level of courage.
Please continue praying for me as I strive to make myself so much more available to God in all areas of my life.Â

Pastor, that’s very good!
I’m quite proud.
You know, it’s quite interesting to be so proud of someone you’ve never even spoken to over the phone, let alone met in person. But I am.
Keep it up, and push for much more.
Love and peace,
Miss Angela L. Braden

You all are very kind and loving people. I appreciate your support. In the words of the old church: “For those of you who know the worth of prayer, pray for me and I’ll pray for you”.
Thanks.
