It'S Not About Me . . . (ePub)

I was born in the south Birmingham, Alabama. My father, Haywood Askew, and my mother, Catherine (maiden name: Harvey), have eight children: three boys, five girls. Im third child after two boys. With the pressure of discrimination always at the front door, my father thought it best to relocate to Southern California from the south. We always had the love of both parents all through our childhood years, growing up, and we passed it on to our own children. My grandma was my inspiration. She always felt proud even in troubled times; she always managed to find the light even in darkness. As a member of the Baptist Church, she had fellowship and praised the Lord, and she always gave thanks as she walked to catch the bus for transportation to her church. As a child growing in the baby boomer era the 50s and 60s era, discrimination was so strong, but she always instilled in me to be and feel proud of who you are and to not let anyone say you arent good enough, because God will always love you. His love is unconditional. She tells me, Times will be tough, but every morning when you rise, look in the mirror and say, Thank you, Jesus. Everything is going to be all right. In scripture, God flowed in the darkness of the earth, and he spoke the words Let there be light, and it was so; he passed through darkness, speaking the light. Everyoneregardless of race, color, or creedwill experience tough times through life and trials and tribulations and will learn to become a good soldier of Jesus Christ and have faith in order to get the victory line into the kingdom of God.
