    For all who haven't figured it out as yet. This is a man who went into the belly of Hollywood and didn't sell his soul. Terrance is on another level

    There’s no crazier feeling than knowing deep down you are on the verge of something groundbreaking. He must feel like a lighthouse looking for lost ships

    It's crazy how it has taken 6 years for this to reach me. In my social media "world", its just blowing up, for both good and not so good reasons. I've always enjoyed his work on the screen just never knew this side of him. I always had hoped he would of had his day on screen because he is a wondeful actor. They really threw him under the bus. Now I'm beginning to understand he is far more than that and then some. Thank you for sharing this Mr Howard and Oxford Union.

    I’m taking this lecture for what it is: an awakening of the mind to deeper levels of consciousness, knowledge and understanding. Believing in myself and knowing that I can and will possess all of the answers I seek within. “As above, so below.”
  • You're telling me the Oxford didn't have another projector I feel like they were trying to make him look stupid by not letting him do his full presentation but he still nailed it so Amen for not selling your soul He actually seems like one of the good ones

    I always knew there was something special about this man. I could see it in his eyes. This is remarkable. Thank you.❤❤❤
  • @robsmith1362
    Terrance has transcended Hollywood and is on a completely different plane of existence.. I wish EVERYONE could stop being so close-minded and understand how unique/true this is.
  • @iniquity7
    This guy's bucket list was to teach a class at Oxford and by God nothing is gonna stop him even if it is just a Q&A
  • @leojay60
    If this man was a professor, I would have actually shown up to class.

    In all my years, I've learned that I must unlearn to move forward.
