Every time I hear someone say, “Black men need to step up,” I feel it in my chest—not because it’s new, but because it’s the same tired line being recycled again and again. It’s always a demand. Never a conversation. Never a question like: “What happened to you?” “How did you make it this far?” “What are you carrying that nobody talks about?” Truth is that a lot of us have stepped up. We’ve…

Evening Thought
Am I Socially Anxious or Just Bored? I’ve been thinking… Is my social anxiety even real, or do I just get bored easily? I have no issue showing up to events—as long as I have a role. Let me set up chairs, run security, handle the mic, whatever. Give me a purpose and I’m good. But if the invite says, “just come kick it,” the chances of me showing up drop to about zero. When I’m just standing…

We Didn’t Come This Far Just to Survive
Why It’s Time to Build Black We’ve endured centuries of systemic oppression—slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, mass incarceration, and the psychological toll of being Black in a country that often profits from our pain. And still, we rise. We’ve survived against all odds, but we didn’t come this far just to keep surviving. Now is the time to build. Not just businesses for profit, but businesses…

Bad Business Isn’t a Black Problem—It’s a Business Problem

Let’s be clear: bad business is not a Black problem—it’s a business problem. The truth is, poor practices exist across every community—whether white, Black, Asian, Latino, or otherwise. But because we tend to spend most of our time and money within our own communities,…

The Power of Choice
Owning Our Path Forward Sometimes I hesitate to speak on this part of my life—as if it’s not something to be proud of. But the truth is, it is an accomplishment to have made it this far without being scarred by the judicial system. Not because I didn’t have reasons that could’ve led me down that path, but because I made a different choice. Like many of us, I carry the weight of childhood…

Breaking the Cycle
How Past Habits That Once Fueled You Can Hinder Your Growth as an Adult In our younger years, we often develop habits—some good, some bad—that seem to serve a purpose in the moment.

The Only Security Is in What You Build for Yourself
You can work for somebody, but you need to give yourself options. Because when they decide they don’t need you anymore, the only option they give you is the door. One day, you’re clocking in like normal, thinking everything is good. The next day, they’re handing you a severance package—if you’re lucky—or just walking you out with a weak ‘We appreciate your service.’ Now, you’re standing there,…

From the Bottom Up
My Journey to Redemption There was a time in my life when I didn’t know who I was. I was 19 years old when I got married, and by 23, I was divorced. I had no real family around—just friends and coworkers who became my support system. I clung to them, and before I knew it, I was mirroring their lives: late nights, partying, weed smoking, and chasing a lifestyle that was never meant for me. One…

Small Wins Matter: The Path to Real Wealth
Let’s talk about the grind for a second—not the Instagram-highlight-reel kind of grind, but the “late nights, early mornings, no applause” type of grind. Building anything real takes years. Let me repeat that for the people in the back: YEARS. It doesn’t happen overnight, and it certainly doesn’t happen with a “dollar-for-dollar” mentality. You’ve got to build incrementally, stacking small wins…
