Donald and Ronald Baker talks about pursuing passionate work and making a living doing what they love.
A recent study conducted by Trade Schools, Colleges and Universities report that close to 80% of adults do not end up following through on the career paths they dreamed of during childhood. And the remaining 20% of people who do pursue childhood imaginations are overwhelmingly happy and consider themselves to be successful.
Donald and Ronald Baker fall into that 20% category. Ronald and Donald Baker are twins who were adopted at birth and both are world renowned photojournalists in the Washington, D.C. area. They have photographed such greats as Muhammad Ali, Nelson Mandela, exclusive photographers of the Jackson 5, President Barack Obama, Stevie Wonder, Alex Haley and too many to name. They have also captured historical events such as the Million Man March and several Presidential Inaugurations just to name a few.
The Baker twins talk about how they got their start and the creative ideas they utilized to become living legends in the world of photojournalism.

James Arthur Williams shares his incredible journey where during childhood, being intelligent and following the spiritual teachings of his parents got him laughed at and teased until he felt forced to adopt and embrace a thug mentality to survive in the projects.
James questioned “Why did his parents suffer and struggle so much when they loved the Lord with all their hearts and they made so many sacrifices for God while his peers who lived the total opposite of God’s word seemed to acquire money, status, and the good life?”
James was unable to rationalize this in his mind and chose to please and gain acceptance from his peers in the hood and began chasing a masked lifestyle that was opposed to his God-given potential.
James is no different from the millions of people who chase materialistic things, lifestyles, and religions to please their parents, partners, or peers.
