YPs, I had the opportunity to speak with a YoungProfessional named Michael D. Tucker JR., on an exciting new Real Estate Housing project that is coming to the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania. Michael, along with Tyron Tucker and Toinu K. Kimah; have come together on a project that will change the face of living in the Francisville area of Philadelphia. Along with developer, Anthony B. Miles and selling agent Maryam K. Amaker, these YoungProfessionals are giving back to the community in a huge way. As a YoungProfessional, myself, I am truly inspired by the work that is being done. Progressive strides in business and in the environment, are driving this wonderful group of individuals to do great things. I look forward to much more from these YPs. So come with me, as I get into some of the specifics of “The Vineyards” project!!!

YPs I have a guest blogger that has sent me a few poems to share with you ladies and gents by the name of Radiant Theory but to us she will be known as YPTheory. The first poem this young lady has shared with YPBlogSpot is regarding what can happen when trying to do too much while you’re driving. I know by now everyone is probably familiar with Oprah Winfrey’s “No Phone Zone” pledge in which she along with many others are promoting limited cell phone use while people are driving and no text messaging/emailing/tweeting and so forth. YPs I haven’t taken the pledge but I have become more aware of my cell phone use while I’m driving and am working on becoming more responsible each day. But checkout YPTheory’s poem titled “Crash” that shares a real life scenario of texting while driving and the possible end result that many have incurred. Share your thoughts and comments YPs.
CRASH
She played by all the rules…
and maybe that was half her problem…
she didn’t live enough…
so you’d have to figured that god must have decided she didn’t deserve life…
so just like that he took it..
right from under her nose…
you would think she’da saw it coming… [click to continue…]
J.Cole has been a fixture on ypblogspot for some time now and like I’ve said a million times I think he has a great shot at stardom.

In the meantime take a look and listen to “Who Dat” the first single and video for J.Cole. Enjoy.
