I really need some guidance and some constructive critique from a very experienced person. I believe that every mentor needs a mentor. I am mentoring youth, but I also need someone to give me critical and strategic feedback and guidance too. This is an inter-generational project, and this work is beyond just my personal interest, so believe that it is my responsibility to get the help and guidance that I need, also because so many people have put their names and careers in my hands to a certain extent. I feel the weight of the moral obligation to those investing their money and time in this intiative.
