An Ifa proverb says, “Let me be interested in the person that is interested in me. For the person that is interested in me, would later be titled as King.”
Where you are wanted is where abundance and wealth will reside.

In 1952, CBS told Lucille Ball she couldn't show her pregnancy on TV.
The word "pregnant" was banned as "vulgar." Censors forced a priest, rabbi, and minister to vet every script.
So, Lucille executed a brilliant, unprecedented revenge plan...
Instead of hiding, Lucille used her leverage as the star of America’s #1 show.
She forced CBS to write the pregnancy into the script. But she didn't stop there.
She timed the production schedule with military precision to synchronize fiction with reality.
Her real-life cesarean section was scheduled for January 19, 1953.
That exact night, the episode "Lucy Goes to the Hospital" aired.
While Lucille was recovering in the hospital having given birth to Desi Jr., 44 million Americans tuned in to watch Lucy Ricardo give birth to Little Ricky.
That single episode pulled in 71.7% of all US television households.
To put that into perspective: More Americans watched Lucy give birth than watched Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidential inauguration the very next day.
Before this, pregnancy on TV was treated as a shameful taboo. After it, it was entirely normalized.
Lucille Ball didn't just break the rules - she rewrote the entire playbook of Hollywood business, marketing, and cultural history.
She wasn't just a comedian. She was a genius.
The last few days have shown me that lots of ppl on here need an outlet for the way the world is crushing us. That anger & vitriol can be channeled into something else. strangers online are so accessible & the easiest outlet tho
