Introducing Mr. Desmond Welsh: Born in Jamaica, grew up in Los Angeles. Lost his Jamaican accent, but kept his Jamaican values.
Today on this special Father’s Day, as we celebrate and honor all fathers all over the world, I introduce to you a great friend and someone who is no stranger to our show, Mr. Desmond Welsh. Now here is a gentleman in my opinion who has done it right. He has been successful in raising a great son and daughter and I call him my brother. We’ve walked this spiritual journey for a long time together. In 1990, we co-founded a very unique spiritual group called Disciples of Prosperity (DOP) and that particular group was a strong and powerful catalyst for change for all of the men who joined over the next ten years. We all grew and prospered from the experience and the journey. We are truly brothers and spiritual partners in this game called life.

“We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.”

A few years ago, after the death of my mother, I invited my father to leave Oklahoma, our home state and to come and live with me in California. It was a very special and happy time for both of us to reunite. This time, we were living under the same roof not solely as father and son but as two grown, single men. It was great for me to learn more about my father and our history as a family. Because now, unlike when I was a kid growing up, I was very interested in learning about our family heritage.
