I just signed a lease for office space.

My business can't pay for it yet.

I did it anyway.

Here's why that was the right call. 🧵

First day in the office is next Wednesday.

Haven't even sat in it yet.

Already thinking differently.

I am not free yet.
Yet still, I made two moves I've never made before.
The full story is at the link. All of it. 🖤

This week I ended up in the ER.
The doctor said she was worried about my kidneys.
I drove home with three IV bags worth of fluid in me and one question I couldn't shake.
What if I'm running out of time? 🧵👇

Today is Juneteenth.
As a Black man and member of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity Incorporated this day sits in my chest every year.
Freedom that already existed. Just hadn't arrived yet.
That is the name of this blog. Not Yet Free. 👇

@Substack I just had this happen to me. It's always a good to provide clarity and protect your brand.

Read it here and subscribe if it hits home.
Two posts a week, no pretending I have it figured out.

There is a specific feeling nobody talks about at work.
It is not burnout. It is not laziness.

I wrote about it this week on Not Yet Free.

If you have ever smiled through a compliment and felt nothing, this one is for you.

First stream is tonight.
No script. No plan. Just whatever's on my mind and whoever shows up.

If you've ever wanted to watch someone figure it out in real time, tonight's the night to tune in. Come say something. I actually respond.
