Last week HarlemLive received a powerful message. The messager was an inspirational young Black man by the name of Darien Dash.

Darien Dash is a hip entrepreneur whose main goal is to give back to the community. Dash spoke to the HarlemLive members about computers and where he plans to go with them. He feels that the Black and Hispanic communities should involve themselves more with computers.

"We should get the information cause once we have the information we can use it not only to help our youth but also our elders," he said.

The basic message that he left with us was that we must first start within ourselves and then we can and must use what we know to help others. Dash showed us how important it is to be educated about computers. Darien Dash encourage us all to accept this new technology.

Here are some of the comments we got about the visit from Darien Dash:
