@mrhighfoster One thing I love about Cardi B is her jovial and funny nature. She’s so real and outspoken!
Building this level of wealth is no easy feat. She definitely had a blueprint from the very start. She knew what she wanted, and she went for it, and didn't stop until she got it.
Before fame, she worked at an Amish Market grocery store in Tribeca and got fired before becoming a stripper
She has openly said stripping saved her from poverty and an abusive relationship, allowing her to return to school
During the 2020 pandemic, Cardi gave away $1,000 every hour (totaling about $1 million) to people financially hurt by COVID-19
She partnered to donate 20,000 vegan meal replacement shakes to New York City hospital workers on the frontlines in 2020
Cardi B owned multiple luxury cars just to take photos with them. And didn't get a driver's license till 2022
Cardi B left Levi's Stadium right after her Bad Bunny halftime cameo, skipping the rest of the game and her own $1.2 million post-Super Bowl party
Cardi auctioned off her viral thrown microphone from a 2023 performance, raising $100,000 for veterans and people with disabilities
She once got cheap, illegal butt injections in a basement for $800 before she could afford proper ones
Cardi has four children. Three daughters and one son
She loves eating sardines
She has secured high profile endorsement deals with brands like Pepsi, Reebok (including a 2020 sneaker and apparel line), NYX, SKIMS (owned by Kim Kardashian), and MAC Cosmetics
Cardi has invested in real estate across key markets like New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles to diversify her wealth beyond music and endorsements
Cardi was the first female rapper to cover US Vogue magazine

Cardi B has reallyyy built up a legacy for herself and we can't even deny it.
Yessss, she has her own controversial moments, but if you dig it.... It's not even extreme. I don't think I see much controversial news about her on the Internet consistently.
She knows how to face her own lane and how to spark engagements and attention when it's needed.
More like she's more in control of the media narrative. And gives the media just the right amount of information to keep the attention and control the Internet sensation as she prefers.
From being a stripper to being arguably the best female rapper in the US.... It shows that no matter how ugly your past seems like, if you keep putting in efforts at your craft and to be a better version of yourself, then you'd certainly get there.
So trust your own process like Cardi B trusted hers! 💯

@mrhighfoster You're totally right. I absolutely enjoyed watching Zootopia and I found it so relaxing. It's very commendable that we still get this quality of animation that serves both generations.
For one thing, your visual design is the first impression your product will make.
Not only is the visual design the first impression consumers will have of your product, but it is arguably the most important impression it will make.
I was part of the design team that worked on an LMS platform, and in hindsight, there are a few UX choices I would change.
1. Starting from the course content, I will make navigation clearer by dimming inactive subcategories and keeping the active tab obvious, so users always know where they are.
2. Limit how much course content shows on the screen to reduce excessive scrolling.
3. Improve accessibility by syncing video transcripts with the speaker’s voice instead of using timestamps alone.
What would you have done differently?

@UIbyBiba Congratulations, Biba! You truly deserve every win you’ve been getting. You put in the work, and it shows.
Big congrats! 🎉 🎉
I hope to reach your level someday.
PS: If you don’t mind, are there any resources you could share with me to help with my design journey?
Elon has one of the strongest work ethics I’ve seen. I watched a documentary that mentioned he slept only six hours a day. For someone with the level of wealth he has amassed, you’d probably assume he spends most of his time relaxing on exclusive islands.
Elon proves that staying consistent, refusing to back down in the face of difficulties, and refusing to quit halfway can take you to the very top, a place only the top 1% ever get to see.
This is a subtle reminder to all of us that despite the fame, the wealth, the choices we've made and those we've chosen not to make, we will all leave this earth someday. Perhaps, leaving behind a legacy, if we had one.
The onus is on us to lead a life worthy of remembrance. We may not be remembered like Michael Jackson, but we should strive to ensure that those we care about have at least one or two good things to say about us.
Catherine, you led such a beautiful life. Home Alone will certainly feel different without you. Rest in peace, Queen!
Oftentimes, kids who grow up without their dads or a strong father figure turn out to be great fathers themselves. That’s usually tied to their desire to give their kids what they never had growing up.
Big kudos to his mom for doing the job of two parents. Shout-out to all single moms who are exceptional parents!
50 Cent’s decision to stay actively involved in his children's life despite failed relationships with their mothers speaks volumes.
As for me, I plan to combine traditional parenting with gentle parenting. Times have changed. I want my kids to see me as both a friend and a mentor. The key is finding a healthy balance between both worlds.
As much as I love the idea of being different, I’d say... be mindful. Not every situation calls for standing out.
Sometimes, you just have to blend in with the crowd. Other times, you want to be so distinct you make others uncomfortable.
The key is knowing when to be different and when to go with the flow.

@AbatiSamuel Well done! Great effort certainly pays off in the long run. It might take time, but trust me, you get the desired results at the end of the day.
@mrhighfoster Charlie Puth is a literal cheat code for music. His talent is insane! It’s rare to see someone that successful stay so connected to fans through the process.
