I became aware of the duo in a most amazing way. It is funny how God’ s timing for His Will and Purpose have so little to do with our timing or train of thinking. Voltaire’ s mother, Adelaide Smith and I were classmates in Grad School. We were both much older than our classmates. We were determined to achieve our dream, obtain Masters Media Management, we both had health, financial and other challenges but nonetheless we made through. Sadly, Adelaide Smith’ s journey ended shortly after she realized her dream. Ironically, it was not her life or death but rather her birthday that brought her children to my attention. It was a mutual friend and former classmate that alerted me to her passing on Facebook. It was also a birthday notification on Facebook that alerted me that Adelaide would be celebrating her birthday. On May 6, 2012 she would have been 62 years old. I decided to visit her Facebook page and write a post in her memory. I was saddened by her death but I truly didn’ t know the circumstances or much about her life. I did know her to be very intelligent, caring and talented. I’ d thought she was well-off because she was always well put together. I did not know she had many grave challenges.
Voltaire had posted a tremendous testimony and tribute to his mother. It was this blog post that brought the bigger picture to life. I was overwhelmed with sadness, joy, inspiration and aspiration. As if ignited by a divine fire, I was charged to actacknowledge, pay tribute and most of all to reach out to Voltaire and his sister, Ramona Wright seeking permission to honor Adelaide during Women’ s History Month
on WOCP Radio.
I realized long the way
Voltaire’ s business and App were a direct result of the life his mother lived and the legacy she bequeathed him and his sister. I can’ t help but wonder what impact my entrepreneurial spirit and ventures will have on my son and daughter as well as the legacy that I will leave behind for generations to
come.
I have to inform you Voltaire and William both have a determination and drive that I believe will set the world ablaze so if you
can’ t stand the heat
PLEASE, PLEASE don’ t go near the flames of their ambitions. As you go through their website if you aren’ t inspired pinch yourself to see if you are still among the living. I also urge to pick one or more of the many ways in which you can get involved and help them be able to help
us all.
Their level dreaming and their ability to manifest their dream is very inspiring. I can see them igniting change in the young and
old from all walks of life.
As I would with any colleague that beckoned me for assistance in a project- I am available to Voltaire, Ramona, and William for I feel very strongly that Adelaide beckoned me to
aid.
There aren’ t always explanation of the why or wherefore but if you listen to the still small voice that speaks to you in the midnight hours as you lay awake and dream, know that you are not crazy. NO don’ t you dare quit, dream big and buy the
App that will get there.
