Who I Am

  • 24 January, 2008 – 5:54 am

My name is David Adewumi.)

I am from everywhere and from nowhere.

I bare my life on Twitter

I have been a(n)…
All-American in High School Track & Field.
National Merit Scholar.
Missionary.
Humanitarian.
Airborne Infantryman.
Journalist.
Blogger.
Wanna-be Hacker.
Founder.

I’m most proud of having learned Spanish in six months.

I’ll use this stage to launch ideas on :

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

  1. Hi David,

    My name is Sue and I am writing to you for two reasons. First, I wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your blog. Secondly, my company works with Sun Microsystems and their Startup Essentials Program. I wanted to share with you some free startup outreach programs which might interest your readers:

    Sun and Mashable.com have partnered to present “The Startup Review” on mashable.com which is a daily feature/review of a new startup to help spread the word on unique and emerging ideas throughout the community. http://www.mashable.com/startup-review-sponsored-sun-startup-essentials/

    Sun is also hosting a free event called “Startup Camp” in San Francisco on May 4-5, 2008 to allow startups to participate in an un-conference networking event to hear from some web 2.0 authorities, meet other startups and apply to Sun’s Startup Essentials Program. The event also includes SpeedGeeking, where startup founders can compete in the Best Startup Contest by presenting a 5-minute pitch of their business to VC led groups of peers. Confirmed guests include: Pete Cashmore, Jonathan Schwartz, David Berlind, Om Malik, Matt Marshall etc. This event is a great way for startups to network and discuss ideas. http://startupcamp.org/

    Sun is reaching out to the startup community and I think this could be very helpful to your readers. I hope you will consider mentioning it in one of your posts.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Keep up the great posts! :-)

    Very sincerely,
    Sue

  2. Hey David!

    Thanks for the comment. I first saw the Marriane Williamson quote in my old roommates room. Then I was referred from del.icio.us to your post “Why Black Nerds are Unpopular”, and then I was reminded of the quote when I checked out your “Who am I” page.

    Anyways, great writing. You have yourself a new subscriber.
