Gaining insights about ourselves and the world around us is a passion topic that’s deeply personal for me. Taking the American Dream Score quiz is a reminder of how my life experience has not only shaped who I am but has inspired the idea behind my company, g-dii. As a gay man of color born in the very late 60’s, I grew up in an era that radically changed my experience of the American south and the world at large.
I was a man who straddled two worlds, one deeply embedded in the African American struggle and the attempt to live in a color-blind post segregated world. This dichotomy created strange friendships that challenged the beliefs of my fore fathers and it made me more open and empathetic to people of all backgrounds and experiences.
