I promised Rippa that I would blog about Isaac Hayes who died after suffering a stroke earlier this week. I figure there is no better time than on the eve of his Memorial Service.
Did you know Isaac Hayes, also known as the Black Moses, was enstooled as an African American King in Ghana for his work in encouraging business and global development in the Motherland?
Isaac Hayes, pictured above with his wife and child taken in 2006, also pushed for world literacy and gave tirelessly to children.
Isaac Hayes was an incomparable talent loved by multiple generations, from our parents to us and now our children.
We should acknowledge that, but also realize that he was so much more than "Chef" and "Shaft."
Lesser known perhaps, but more important, is Isaac Hayes' contribution to the African Diaspora and his love for African people.
Check out a colleague's blog and get to know the deeper side of Isaac Hayes. We can all learn a lesson from his example.
Can you dig it?
