#IAMRIVIERABEACH Cedrick Thomas, Former Riviera Beach Councilman, Ann McNeill Dan Calloway Ep.60

After reading the book ACRES OF DIAMONDS by Russell Conwell, I am convinced we are all leaving the diamond mines in our own backyards as we travel around the world looking for larger diamonds, when in fact the diamonds we seek are found within us and our hometown, from whence we came. Therefore, we are calling the podcast, #IAMRIVIERABEACH.
