Author/Motivational Speaker Jovan Roseboro walks from Fayettesville, NC to Washington, DC in an effort to encourage selflessness amongst Americans.

Fayyetteville, NC – Jovan Roseboro, author and speaker, will begin the “Moratorium on Selfishness” campaign on Thursday April 23, 2009. A walk that is expected to take 15-20 days beginning in Fayettesville, NC and ending in Washington, D.C. While traveling Jovan will be keeping written and audio records of his travel as he encourages people to be more humane to one another. Mr. Roseboro ask that all recipients of this release forward it so that the message is dispersed throughout the region prior to his arrival in the nation’s capital.

Updates on Jovan’s progress and his location from day to day information will be loaded daily to www.changeispossible.bravehost.com. When available video will also be uploaded to http://www.youtube.com/user/JovanRoseboro. Those willing to sacrifice their time and body to the campaign are encouraged to meet Jovan on the road and join him, those who are unable are asked to during the 15-20 period perform a selfless act for a person in need within in your own community. These acts should continue to pay it forward is Jovan’s desire.

Mr. Roseboro attributes his motivation to spearhead such an undertaking with little resources and finances to Pres. Obama, he believes that showing children an ordinary person making an extraordinary sacrifice will encourage others to be more selfless. Jovan considers this his contribution to the change that our country desires and needs. His devotion to the project mirroring the title of his book “The Only One Who Can Stop Me Is Me”, Jovan has began this journey alone. Whether others join him on the road or not is not as important to him as the acts of servitude and philanthropic spirit that he is trying to be a catalyst for.  Hourly updates are also available at https://twitter.com/jovanroseboro

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

Let us raise our children to believe in themselves…

Teach them, from an early age, that they can do and be whatever they set their minds to.. Self-esteem is the key!

Do you sometimes find yourself staring at others who are not typical in appearance?

Do you often judge others based on what they are wearing, or their hair styles, or their choice in make-up? If the object of your staring is extremely obese or terribly anorexic, does it bring about uncomfortable feelings deep in your gut?

If you have answered any of these queries in the affirmative, then you are, unfortunately, a part of our society who puts way too much emphasis on outward appearance.
