It's easy to focus on what isn't working.
But real change happens when people choose to stay engaged, create solutions, and build where they are.
Believe in the future. Invest in your growth. Be part of Africa's success story.
The public visibility of genuinely successful, legitimate Black men is essential. When those who have achieved authentic success choose silence, they leave a cultural vacuum that is quickly monopolized to exploit the lack of real mentorship
For this to happen, you need to find people who have a high degree of ownership. They understand the value of owning the outcomes, even if it doesn’t directly benefit them. They recognize that the ultimate reward is the skill they have acquired because they owned the process.
John Hope Bryant says if you hang around nine broke people you'll be the tenth
"Billionaires don't need more money. Somebody with $100 million doesn't need more money. A Fortune 500 CEO doesn't need more money. They want relationships. It's not about what you get, but what you have to give"
"Here's the key about relationships. A giver and a giver is exotic. A giver and a taker is neurotic. A taker and a taker is psychotic. Most people have taker relationships"
"Surround yourself with givers, get the toxicity out of your life, and your whole frequency rises. The opposite is also true. If you hang around nine broke people, you'll be the tenth"

I went to Stanbic IBTC bank today to make enquiry about their investment packages. Apparently they are one of the best when it comes to investments.
I met the security man inside and I explained what I wanted to do, he dialed a number and asked me to speak to the woman, according to him, he said she’s the manager.
I spoke to her and she explained everything to me and told me to come to her office, and I told her I’m already at their office and she told me no, that I should come to UBA bank to meet her.
So apparently, she works in UBA but the security man who works in Stanbic IBTC is promoting another bank and is redirecting customers to meet her.
The thing has been disturbing me since and I’m wondering why someone will behave like that.

Ken Griffin is, by far, the most successful Wall Street entrepreneur of his generation. Worth about $50 billion, he founded Citadel, one of the biggest hedge funds in the world, and Citadel Securities, a hugely profitable “market maker.” He has never pretended to be a radical innovator or a savant. His mission has always been different: to build finance businesses that update their strategies and infrastructure so relentlessly that they beat rivals not just today but over decades. Given that Griffin lacks a signature trading or investing style, his success can feel both confounding and imitable. But nobody has duplicated his monetary success—or built two separate businesses that are so wildly profitable.
