Ibrahim Traoré refused to hand over road construction to foreign companies. Instead, he invested in equipment, empowered local engineers, and trained Burkinabè citizens to build their own country.

Now, Burkina Faso is pushing toward 5,000 km of paved roads every year with no foreign funding, just national commitment.

This is not dependency. This is self-reliance. This is nation-building.

Africa is watching.

Shane Battier on why Kobe Bryant was the hardest player he ever had to guard:

“Because there were guys that were faster and stronger and could, you know, fly and more talented than me, but I thought I was smarter than every player I played against except Kobe. Kobe was the one guy was mentally a guy I couldn’t wear down mentally or break. And so I had played Kobe I don’t know 40 times in my career. And he was a month older than me. His mentality was like unlike anybody I played against, right? If Kobe had 20, he wanted 30. If he had 30, he wanted 40. If he had 40, he wanted 50. If he had 50, he wanted 60. It was non-stop. So I just remember just like, you know, sitting in Marina Delray Ritz going to the Staple Centers. I’m just thinking to myself, “Oh sh*t man. I got this guy tonight. I got this monster. The anxiety was real. It was real. Kobe did a really funny thing with me. Like we played this game with each other that only knew we were playing. And one day he’d be super friendly to me. Hey Shane, what’s going on man? How’s the Family? How you doing? Playing great. Next day, man, stone cold assassin. He wouldn’t even look at me. Wouldn’t even look at me. You know, I fall, he’d step over me. Do all that bullsh*t right? Next game, hey man, what’s going on? So he was always trying to like play this psychological warfare.”

Private First Class LaVena Johnson, 19 years old. She was found dead in her tent in Iraq. She had a broken nose, black eye, loose teeth, burns from corrosive chemicals on her genitals to cover up the evidence of rape and a gunshot wound. The United States government ruled her dead a homicide.

True story: I met Kobe Bryant outside Equinox Newport Beach at 4:55am in 2017. It was a year after he retired. He should have been relaxing, but he was literally waiting outside the gym for it to open. His mindset applied to everything. I'm still inspired by that encounter.
