Meet Shon Harris by Susan D. Sandifer

Meet Shon Harris

As a 25 year- old, ambitious black man, Shon Harris has always been the guy with the ability to “Make it Happen.” As the spear-head of countless projects, movements, and teams, he’ll tell anyone he meets that in order to call yourself a leader, you must naturally care about people. He says that “When people feel like you care about their value, and you do not antagonize them, they will always follow.” It’s with no doubt, the guy has an army of followers.

With a big heart, and a genuine love for people, he feels that there’s no way he can’t win. With this belief always in the forefront of his mind, Shon Harris has proved a success in almost every competitive arena he’s been exposed to. As former President of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity for the years 06 to 08, captain of the step team, member of INROADS, computer security analyst at Saks Incorporated and many other demanding roles, he has never been a stranger to hard work and grind.

A day in the life of Shon Harris is more like a day in the life of a human robot. And now as a full-time father, CEO of Acerock Entertainment, manager of R&B sensation Lou Writer, and member of 5linx, he juggles between these roles, making sure that no job goes undone before the close of each day.

Shon Harris has always felt that people who desire success must model themselves behind those who are already successful. With influences like John C Maxwell, an internationally respected leadership expert, speaker, and author, Harris continuously models himself after the best. One of his favorite quotes comes from Maxwell stating that “leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.” As his influence continues to increase both locally and nationally, Shon Harris desires to eliminate self doubt and show people that it is self empowerment that will take us a long way.

Shon Harris highly recommends this site to leaders, aspiring entrepreneurs, and business owners.

So I've got this Friend...




I got this friend who likes this guy Right.

She talks about him all the time.

How he makes her feel real good.

I kinda notice now she sHines.**

Its like with him she never contemplates on

Whether he likes her, or how he really Feels

Its obvious he’s mad- crazy about her…

Plus You can just tell that its all so real.

I mean… They do stuff like…

Turn circles in the Wal mart parking lot

While holding hands in the freezing cold.

They make handshakes when the movies over.

While normal people leave and credits scroll.

She likes to watch him play ping pong.

She loves to visit him at work.

On his lunch break they do Piccadilly.

On Facebook… they always flirt.

It’s a simple kinda thing they got.

There’s no need for CoMplication.

He wants her, and she sure wants him

It’s a simple situation.

He gives her kisses right there on her ForeHead.

She Loves the smell of his skin.

When he holds her its like he don’t wanna let go.

So they embrace Again and again.

For every wall she tried to build.

He made it crash and fall.

No more playing hard cookie now.

She’s giving her best and her all.

I got this friend who likes this guy Right?.

They’ve got things we only dream.

She hasn’t felt like this in a long time.

How do I know?… Because she’s me.

Fearfully, my love for him began...

We would drive ourselves crazy trying to understand it. I think we would literally go delirious trying to calculate the time it takes to love, the ways in which to love correctly, cautiously, the buttons not to push, the walls to climb, the ones to break, salvage, rebuild. We can never know its ins, its outs, the questions to ask, the ones not to ask, the seen, and the unseen. Love is everything we see, everything we breathe. We hate one thing because we love another. Love is complex because it is so simple. Love is loud. Love is insane. Love is tasteful yet love is bitter. Love is..He and I. Let me show you.


I had every reason to walk away. And he had every reason to let me walk away. Even when he should've pushed me away, he didn't. He forced to compress me into his world, a world already too dense for even the ones who were already placed there. Ashamed of how I felt, I hated me for letting this happen. How dare me fall for this man who shouldnt have been meant for me. Oh but he was. Because behind that wall, that cloudy sky that showed signs of rain and hail, that hot surface screaming don't touch......... there he was... the man not of my dreams.

My dreams had failed me. Not even my dreams could paint a portrait so vivid and so beautiful. This canvas was undeniably mine. So fearfully my love for him began..

Goodmorning = Crawling Feet and Little Hands


This morning I awoke to little feet crawling all over my face, then hands practically slapping the living daylights out of me, followed by endless strands of spit going from my forehead to my nose. Ugh! Disgusting I know. But what can I say. I'm used to it.

If you haven’t assumed by now, I’m speaking of the most energetic, non-stop baby in the universe.

Too tired to retire from my cozy sheets, and my snug pillow positioned perfectly, I watch the little busy body step all over me, pull things from my already messy dresser full of eye-shadow, powder, and other miscellaneous girly things. I knew within a matter of seconds, he was capable of destroying my entire room as well as himself, so out went my peaceful morning of looking at the ceiling and sleeping late. That was clearly over as I hopped out of bed prying make-up brushes from the little boogers tiny yet determined fingers.


Although this is the story of my entire summer mornings, I dare not complain. This busy body of a toddler, is my nephew. Even though I love him to the point of no end, I do find solace in the fact that he is my nephew and not my son.


In this generation, its not hard at all to find a 20year-old single parent mother raising little busy toddlers. I sigh in relief, this is not my story.But kudos to the ones who do it, and do it well! Much love to those mothers.

Frequently I change stinky diapers, wipe snotty noses, and kiss little fingers that have been accidentally slammed into doors. Over the years, my nephews have come in like whirlwinds and transformed our lives. I myself have been forced to learn certain things like never leave tops off of bottles, never leave kids unattended with markers crayons, etc. There is never a dull moment, and each day is as a roller coaster. But fortunately it's one roller coaster ride, I can turn over to my sister after 5ive.

I have come to understand, that raising a child is no walk in the park, definitely not a walk in the mall to Forever 21. Its not much of a walk at all, it’s a run. A chase for time, sanity, and peace.
Children are definitely one of God’s greater gifts, but in decent time.

As a twenty year old junior in college, I cant imagine what life for me would be like trying to finish school, accomplish my goals, take care of me, and a child.
Every year almost one million teenage girls become pregnant. And more than half of them are younger than myself, try 17 or younger. And about 40 percent of young women have children at the age of twenty or younger.

Each day as I rise to little crawling feet,sticky fingers, and snotty noses, i cant help but smile. Children bring an indescribable joy and deserve a mothers time, love, and the best shot at life. For that reason, I look forward to my little bundle of joy(s) and the beautiful family that will come along with it. But surely in God's time, and not a day before.
