Tales of a Black male cheerleader

How does a young black boy from Indiana wind up cheering for both USC and UCLA? Without any previous cheerleading experience?

He has an older sister who teaches him how to be a cheerleader at age seven. Then he practices, practices, practices, if only in his mind.

Whatever happened to that black male cheerleader who once cheered for the Trojans, then the Bruins? He’s blogging about it now in Cheer Up.
