Herbert Hardman

My name is Herbert Hardman and being a native of Tulsa, I always looked for ways to better myself as well as to improve the lives of others, especially by my life choices. Because I come from a large family that embodies an African American culture and 2 different indigenous tribal cultures, I try to make every effort to treat much of life in a family way by treating others with the same care and respect as every family should by believing that in order to increase the morals and values of any life, we ought to do our best to make the best decisions for one another because the program or organization is greater and far more important the any one persons opinion or ideas.

Also, I believe that we become greater when we utilize one another's special gifts through the willingness to learn from one another's ideas and experiences. Therefore, I feel that everyone has something to share in order to achieve the success of one another and or any other program. As my late Grandmother who was a 1921 Tulsa Race Riot descendant and survivor would oftentimes quoted, "If everyone does a little bit, then a lot will get done."

So I am willing to listen, help and do my part so I can be an element of change so that it will hopefully help others in the future.

Yours truly,

Herbert Hardman
