What’s up BET blogosphere! My name is Travers, I’m a 21 year-old- small town guy from Quitman, TX, and I’m hyped to be one of the You(th) Vote bloggers! The two most important things to know about me are: 1) my little brother is, hands down, my FAVORITE person on Earth; and 2) my parents are the only superheroes I ever pretended to be when I was a child. Other than that, I am:

* “Trav” to a few, “Big T” to people I grew up with, “Teej” to a couple, and “Travy J.” to my mom.

* Passionate about most things related to mass media, politics, and publishing.

* A believer that music is infinitely powerful, and that there are few things more unifying than the electric slide.

* A recent graduate of Morehouse College, and am now living in New York City and working in book publishing.

* Blessed beyond measure, and thankful for both the smooth roads and the rocky paths.

* Excited about the monumental possibilities of the 2008 presidential election.

*Convinced that now is a beautiful time to be young and black in America.
