Everyone will be faced with different obstacles and situations in life. Some may have family or friends to turn to when they need help, others may have to deal with it alone.
As you grow up you might make friends that can make life more enjoyable.
This is especially important for young men. This is how they learn how to function in life around other people. From having conversations to the way they dress, your friends become an influence on you, sometimes it can be good and other times it could be bad.
One part we are going to focus on is young black men who get labeled negatively before they have a chance to show who they are. When young black men are growing up, they are made to be a problem, they cannot be trusted and don't need to be respected.
There is a book that is trying to stop this way of thinking. The name of the book is Voices of Black Men A Collection of Stories Untold "Raw & Unfiltered. In this book 7 black men will discuss their very own story and mention how they grew up to become the men they are today.
For this book I will be interviewing one of these men and his name is Glenn Tillman Jr. He will discuss his success and how he has accomplished all of it with a disability.
The topic is How bad labels can ruin one's character.

MICHAEL “MIKE” HOLMES
Michael Holmes Jr., CEO of Pen Point Designs and Images is a graphic designer at heart. In working with
a network of organizations ranging from advocacy, health care and ministry he has captured a broad clientele over the past five (5) years. His vivid imagination coupled with exceptional creative skills can be seen throughout communities and churches.
Mike works closely with his clients to create unique layout and designs to communicate their message. He has earned the title of the go to guy when it comes to graphics and design layouts. Driven by his passion and creativity, one might say his exceptional skills are the main ingredients for his one of a kind products; business cards, visual images, logos, banners, posters or anything that requires graphics. Michael tends to let his imagination run away, that’s Mike at his best. Showcasing his skills is first and far most in his life, however his interest extends beyond graphic design. He loves lending a helping hand to support others in their quest for success.
Here’s a bittersweet story, after launching his graphic design company, Mike and his two (2) best friends, Che R. Jones, producer of Class Act Entertainment and Keshia Caldwell also known as Peaches the playwriter/poet. Bothwere also entrepreneurs who set out to support each other in building their businesses. The idea was to act asconsultants to each other, calling it consulting between friends. It went so well to the point they decided to become a consulting firm. But before incorporating, Mike, Che and Peaches traveled to Africa for their 1stproduction together. Without time to celebrate their success, tragedy struck. Peaches passed away while in Africa. A loss that was heartfelt and unexpected.
Compelled to stay true to the concept and relationships,Michael founded Consulting Between Friends Podcast.Interesting name for a podcast, yet is fitting. The podcast is hosted by Michael Holmes Jr. and Co host Che R.Jones. The show honors their friendship. As we have been told Mike is masterful when it comes to layout and designs that represents getting his clients messages across. So, it goes without saying having a peach in the logo keeps the three friend together. Yes, Keshia “Peaches”Caldwell is still with Consulting Between Friends, the logo says it all.
This new show is available on Google podcast, Spotify as well as other platforms. The Consulting Between FriendsPodcast will highlight conversations between friends and
associates on issues of life, politics, entrepreneurship, community organizing and current events. All knowledge to feed your brain!
