All over the country as students get ready to graduate high school and college,

they have a moment that they've been looking forward to, some for weeks, months, or even years,

and I understand they've been looking forward

to their graduation.

It's a transitional moment that every student deserves.

I am a father of a high school senior who very likely is not

going to have any type of in-person graduation and it's just something that they deserve and the same is happening sadly for

families who lost loved ones either to the coronavirus or something else during this pandemic.

They're not able to have the funerals, the gatherings, the grieving moments that they'd normally have.

And so I volunteered a few weeks ago to say prayers at funerals, to give a eulogy at a funeral if any family needed it,

and to speak at graduations across the country.

And earlier today I was the commencement speaker at the Fashion Institute of Technology

and I want to share with you the commencement speech that I gave for them and I have another one that I'm recording later today and I'll be speaking at high school and college graduations across the country, but just want to share

today's speech with you.

The breakdown.

Breakdown. The breakdown. The breakdown.

Hey everybody.

Hey everybody.

Hey everybody, I'm Sean King. I'm a journalist. I'm an author. I'm an organizer. I'm a husband to my high school sweetheart. I'm a father of five children from elementary school, middle school, high school

in college. I'm an entrepreneur. I'm a constant presence on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
