I want more Black Americans to get COMPETITIVE about keeping Grandma's house. Pool your money. Split the property taxes. Get multiple ppl in the fam into skilled trades so repairs aren't always a fortune. Don't surrender generations of sacrifice without one hell of a fight.

Greece is closer to Africa than Dallas is to Austin, but illiterate C students who barely skimmed the Cliff Notes version of The Odyssey in HS, who wouldn't be able to point out Greece on a map, and who fundamentally don't understand the concept of artistic license, are triggered
"The face that launched a thousand ships."
People are saying, "Don't blame Lupita Nyong'o. The casting decision wasn't hers."
But she chose to accept the role, right?
Imagine if a white actor decided to play Michael Jackson, Barack Obama, or T'Challa.
They're saying The Odyssey is fiction. So, Black Panther is a comic book.
Can a white person play Black Panther?
Helen is one of the most important characters in The Odyssey. Her beauty plays a huge role in the story. She was Greek.
Casting a Black actress ruins everything.
She's a good actress, and people may find her beautiful. But that's not what Helen of Troy was like.
Woke Hollywood is destroying thousand-year-old history.

Spike Lee's support of athletes and especially Black athletes and his willingness to fly across the world to pop up like a fun uncle, speaks to how special of a person he is.

I do a lot because I want to be a lot.
There’s so much more to achieve.
It’s not for everyone, but I do what works for my goals and aspirations.

And when Black people say, “We have to be twice as good to get half” this is EXACTLY what we mean. America, you did not surprise me, you just showed us who you really are. #Election2024

Your potential does not have a geographic location.
You are not limited.
Expand your horizons to further expand your mind.

You are worthy of the good things in life. When things start getting good, don't talk yourself out of it. The person that you have become deserves to win.

Friends that celebrate your wins with you as if it was their own.
Honor and cherish them. Those are your people.

Operating from a place of abundance has shifted my thought process greatly.
Nothing can shake me because I know I’m going to be set at the end of the day.
