‘What he means to the psyche of the African diaspora — we can’t measure it’: Obama rejuvenates, captivates Toronto fans....
I attend these events to be rejuvenated; to leave, walking on air, juiced up and convinced that there are so many citizens doing so much work in our priority neighbourhoods to keep our youth believing in a future not linked to “easy money, easy death” of the gangstas. I’m rarely disappointed.

Over there are students from this school and that. An entrepreneurial group here. A table with four from Trevor Massey’s leadership training group. Kofi Amoama of Youth Employment Services is getting love from those he’s helped. And this entire table is populated by the Men of Distinction, a subset of the Rexdale community outreach of Trust 15.

What do you know about Obama?

"...the essence of Obama is more than what he says; it’s what he stands for."

But there is much essence in his persona.
