This week, Wes Moore was elected Maryland's first Black Governor. He's only the third Black person in American history to receive the honor of being elected into the position of executive of state. I'm extremely inspired by Wes and all of his accomplishments. And I'm equally terrified.
Once, Wes — then CEO of Robin Hood Foundation, our nation's biggest nonprofit organization dedicated to serving people living in poverty — invited me and four other friends from Baltimore who all have a history of doing community work, just like he does, out on boat ride. Wes being Wes, he would be driving the boat.
