Labeling Black people as violent, when your people lynched, tortured, and burned Black folks alive, is deflection. White people even brought their children to watch.
Don’t be lazy.
Always have your own shit.
Never rely on people to fund your life.
Learn how to be alone.
Save your money.
Protect your peace.
Trust your intuition.
Move in silence.
Stand on what you say.
Always have a backup plan.

At this age, you have to think long term. Focus on your career and goals. Save money, find someone who you can grow and pray with. We can no longer afford to waste time. Focus on things that matter in the long run, stability. Loyalty. & peace of mind
