At 12:07pm on August 12, 2012, Nkrumah Frazier said…: I am already on the Natural Leaders Network and applied for the Legacy Camp to be held in a few weeks. I am out of the age range that was requested by a few years but I applied anyway. Unfortunately I did not get selected but I will be there in spirit!

At 11:52am on August 12, 2012, Nkrumah Frazier said…: Thanks for the kind words of encouragement Suz. I really appreciate it. I am trying to bring the Nature Movement here to South Mississippi. Because we have relatively few large metropolises and an abundance of the natural world left most people here don't see a need to reconnect with it. I'd rather not wait until it's mostly gone to begin to reconnect with the natural world!
