Hello everyone. My name is Donovan Forrest and I graduated from Harris Stowe state University with my degree in Business Information Technology with experience in education and public service. I am passionate about personal growth, building a stable future, mentoring young people, and continuously learning new skills. Whether it’s education, technology, or the trades, I enjoy taking on new challenges and working towards long term success while making a difference in my community.

Hey Good People, The last week has been about rest, recovery, and giving myself grace while getting back on my feet. One thing I've learned is that when you pause, life doesn't. The emails keep coming. The bills still show up. Family still needs you. Deadlines keep moving. Yesterday, as I eased back into my rhythm, I interviewed Dr. Ron Rochon, President of California State University Fullerton. One thing he said stayed with me: Education creates transformation, exposure, and opportunities to serve. But what really struck me was his reminder that our work matters even when we can't immediately see the impact. Sometimes we plant seeds we'll never personally watch grow. That reminder was timely for me because there are moments when the work feels heavy, progress feels slow, or life requires us to pause. Yet the calling remains. Finish this sentence in the comments: The work I'm called to do is __________. If you'd like to hear the full conversation and some powerful insights about transformation, exposure, service, and leadership, watch the interview attached.

Life has been life-in lately. So if your energy is low... If you're carrying more than usual... If you're doing the best you can... Give yourself grace. Remember, your genius is in your care. When we tend to ourselves, we become more whole, and we can be that light for others Question: What’s one small thing you’re doing for yourself right now, something that helps you stay grounded, even if it’s just a breath, a walk, or a pause.

What's one major goal you want to accomplish in June and what is one thing you will do this week to make progress? We are here to make progress. Let's make moves.
