I have a rule: I’m slow to trust anyone that wasn’t cool in high school. Not because being cool makes you trustworthy. It’s because NOT being cool during that time leaves most people with lifelong cope complexes that seep into everything they do, for the rest of their life.

Saddened to hear of Kanya’s passing. It was an honor to be in her presence this year at the @MOBOAwards which she founded. She was a pioneering British woman who fearlessly built a platform for our community, giving a voice and recognition to artists who deserved to be seen and celebrated. Rest in peace and power. 🕊️
it sounds dumb but it took me until 30 to internalize that people just say anything and it behooves you to ignore them and focus on what they do and how what they do makes you feel.
When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
