It wasn’t a stretch, given his background.

The Zaman International Hope for Humanity hosted its annual Mother’s Day “ChariTea Brunch” on Saturday, May 6th at Crystal Gardens in Southgate, Michigan. This non-profit’s mission for the past twenty years has been to help hundreds of thousands of struggling women and children by “providing both urgent assistance and promoting self-reliance.” 
I would like nothing better than to report that last Saturday’s “Outdoor Charity Festival” was a smashing success but, unfortunately, that was not the case. As a proud board member of the G.R.E.A.T. Foundation, which promotes and supports both the Parker Village revitalization project, and my own new program, re:Defining Detroit’s Diet, it broke my heart to see the eight-hour-long fundraising event fail to reach critical mass. Upon reflection, we determined that the lackluster attendance was due in part to its great length and time to promote. Still, those who remained were treated to some amazing kabobs, wonderful live music, and inspirational speakers.
