Even while having a very hectic schedule with the many things he does, like acting, he still finds the time to teach others how to be a leader.
I found it very interesting that Vernice Armour was the first female African American combat pilot. Women are making incredible breakthroughs every day. I believe she opened up a huge door not only for African American women but all women in the world. She is the true meaning of Hill Harper’s definition of living with impact and legacy.
4. If you could talk to the speaker, what would you say/ask?
I would ask Rudy Giuliani why he chose to be a leader. A lot of people tend to be a follower and are very complacent with their lifestyle. Why be different?
If I could ask Hill Harper one question, I would ask him “What made you want to write books?” I would then thank him for writing “Letters to a Young Brother” because it is the best book I’ve ever read.
I would ask Vernice Armour what stepping stones did she have to cross in order to become the first female African American combat pilot and what did she do to stay motivated?
5. Would you recommend this speaker to other students? Why or why
