Denzel Washington just gave an incredible commencement speech at New Orleans' Dillard University. His main advice for the graduates? "Put God first in everything you do."
"Boys need their moms — I am convinced of it. Even teen boys, boys who are nearly men. And yet even in Christian circles, there is little attention given to the relationship of boys and their mothers, at least once they pass the toddler stage."
"I used to know who I was, who you were, who we were. But right now I don’t. Right now I am looking for my edges and I can sometimes only find them when I am pulling on you. When I push everything I used to know to its edge. Then I feel like I exist and for a minute I can breathe."
