Balancing work and personal is an everyday assignment; therefore, please accept me sending you a REEL or even calling only when I’m driving as a form of checking in on you to make sure you’re good 💯🤷🏾♂️
I still don’t remember how I learned how to play spades. It’s like I randomly knew how to play out of nowhere, because folks definitely wasn’t teaching us. #478
*Passing by and greeting random strangers
Me:
“How you doing?”
Them:
“How you doing?”
*We both walk our separate ways.
Why we neva answer the question? Why is “How you doing?” automatically understood as “Hello”?
🤔🧐😂😂😂🤷🏾♂️
Many do this, but I want to acknowledge my fellow Black Brothas. BLACK MEN, let us take a moment to reflect and give thanks to those 10-15 minutes of peace we experience in our cars when we pull up to the spot. Silence and deep breathing, while remaining joyful through it all✊🏾🫡
Blessed ‘Fade in The Water’ Day!!!
A day to celebrate the contributions of our honorable brethren and sistas who rose and stood up against activities that did not align with what we tolerate, resulting in an ahh whoop’n and chair flip’n type of day.

As I increase numbers to my age and reflect on music, I’ve come to realize that I have an appreciation for @hurricanechris6 and the dope music that was created during my high school dayz. Fam legit created some dope hits that had both teen parties and adult clubs on GO 🫡 🔥.
There are many things we want to bring change to, but choose a fight. Specialize in a role that contributes to the solution in that fight of choice. Nothing gets done when we jump into every fight without completing the one we’re assigned to. We all win when we focus and organize
I think it’s bout that time we allow the word “diabolical” to take a break. As a United front, let’s hit the dictionary to bring in the alternative selections.
Much love and appreciation to those parents who are effectively balancing work, fitness, “Being Outside”, and legit handling business when it comes to their responsibilities as a parent.
Salute to all who’ve identified areas to grow.
We all are giving the best of what we know.
Building authentic connections with scholars and parents is successful when you also set high expectations and clear boundaries around what the Fuhh you’re not going to tolerate in your classroom/at your school. Empathy > sympathy.
It’s not just about doing the fun stuff.
🗣You’re asking the wrong Questions!
Instead of asking
“What you do for a living?” Ask these:
✅ What is your purpose?
✅What actions are you currently taking to fulfill that purpose?
✅What does supporting you on that mission look like?
Then you answer the same questions.
It’s mentally and physically draining being an Educator who works within a school district that claim to tear down systems of oppression and empower black educators, yet goes against the practices that elevate Black scholars and silence those who speak up. God Gone Make A Way Tho
Dear future wife!
I’ll be at Whole Foods Sunday and every other Friday at 9pm. Simply a strategy for us to run into each other since we’re both currently on a strict routine and working on some things for the family we create. #WaterAisle#TheStreetsAintForUs 😂🤷🏾♂️
Yours, Quis
Unsure of the validity of Zodiac stuff, but I’ve concluded that Cancers ♋️ are some of the dopest individuals to be around when it’s time to vibe, yet are low key lunatics who’ve mastered the art of overthinking incorrect thoughts and ineffective communication.
😂Don’t attack me
I’ve come a long way. I legit use to watch movies by myself, then watch them with others and completely act like I’ve never seen the movie before. 😂🤷🏾♂️
I challenge you to visit your child’s school without telling him/her you’re coming.
1. Text the teacher to leave a small opening in the door.
2. Post up outside the door.
3. Observe your child’s behavior and class participation.
4. Observe the teacher. #SharedAccountability
When I communicate with a parent about their child’s behavior, I’m giving that parent the common courtesy to do their job. If that parent enables the behavior or lacks accountability, The #478 in me implements adequate attitude adjustments for the greater good of da culture 😉✊🏾
To a certain group of people,
Not all Black people you meet are hood nor want to talk about it. Refrain from randomly bringing up how you listen to rap music and the story about your visit to a poorly served area in an attempt to make a relatable conversation.
Peace and Love
