If they're all so brilliant and I'm such an affirmative-action hire, how come they didn't catch me?

I seek to be authentic and engaging, using my own experiences, being as vulnerable as I ask my clients to be, to enhance the process.

I can't say anything other than the fact that I feel a range of emotions including guilt, shame, sadness, betrayal, freedom and appreciation for those who have stood by me, been tough on me, and have taken the time to understand that there is a deeper story and not to believe everything they read in the newspapers.

I am making amends and seeking forgiveness. My only hope is that some good can come out of my situation.

I used to walk around saying that I'm just another black man without a college degree.

One of my weaknesses happens to be lying, and I could tell you that I'm never going to lie again in my life, but that would be a lie.

I am immensely contrite. And I'm sorry for the damage I've done.
