We know your "who gives a f*ck meter" is almost full. But our people didn't stand in lines and get their asses ripped up by dogs and water hoses so you can shit it away just a few generations later. If not for you, then for them.

We need to #checkyourself. We say all the time that Black people are not monolithic but we have one bad experience at a Black owned business and suddenly it's,"that why I don't Eff with Black Businesses." Time to wake up people.

The reality for starting a business is you need funding and your personal resources and network remains the top way to start your business not strangers. So make sure you have that lined up before you make that jump.

#Coloncancer is personal to me and I know it is to others as it's the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related deaths. It's treatable if caught early. So lets keep our heroes alive.

Brown people have so much potential but also are raised with so much fear to use that potential. Fearless is about moving forward knowing you might trip or even fall, but never the less getting back up that one more time.

The point of bringing in diverse people is to enrich the culture, thinking, and output. Not for them to assimilate into your culture and only seen, not heard. This applies to historical institutions as well as tech startups.

#Didyouknow States require more hours of training to be a licensed beauty professional than to earn a badge? Yes, that's facts! So every time there's a #policeshooting taking another #blacklife, remember #thisisamerica where barbers have more regulations than police officers #wtf

Food for thought: The most beautiful things in nature will eff you up to protect themselves if need be, i.e.: "throw them hands".
