I almost thought she owned the company.
She is doing an incredible job, and if it wouldn't break the bank, they should double or triple whatever they are paying her!
That battle rap was brilliant. Go, Keke!!! You are phenomenal.
She is the definition of a top-tier CBO.

She is the best Chief Brand Officer they could have chosen. She brings her uniqueness, personality, and influence into the brand so seamlessly that.........
Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!
It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby — a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist — to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display in the Hope and Change lobby at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.
Our salt and sugar bowls are identical. I aggressively emptied generous amounts of what I thought was salt into the pot and mixed everything.
Two minutes later, I noticed the actual salt bowl sitting on the fridge. I had just seasoned our only survival meal with pure Dangote sugar.
My chest immediately tightened. Four sleep-deprived, angry medical students were in the parlor holding spoons like weapons. If I confessed, they would literally harvest my organs right there.
I accepted my fate and served the food, dropped the pot in the center of the room, and stood near the door so I could run.
They attacked the food like wolves. I closed my eyes as I waited for the screams. I was waiting for someone to spit out the sweet Jollof and Beans and throw a heavy chair at me.
Five minutes passed and there was dead silence.
Chuka scraped his plate, looked up with red eyes and said, "Omo. You are a wicked chef. The seasoning is too perfect."
I was paralyzed. I walked back to the kitchen, dipped my finger into the 'sugar' bowl I used, and tasted it.
It was salt.
I opened the second bowl. Also salt.
I went back to the parlor sweating and asked Chuka why we had two identical bowls of salt in the kitchen.
He did not even look up from his plate. He just swallowed and said, "Those ants were always entering the sugar. So I filled both bowls with salt to confuse them."

There is a dangerous myth in the high-growth business world that true leadership requires a streak of cruelty. We idolize the erratic, table-thumping CEOs of Silicon Valley and assume that holding high standards means leaving bodies in our wake.
We mistake brutality for firmness. We reference the early portrayals of Steve Jobs and forget that his true, enduring progress came after he returned to Apple: still demanding, still intense, but more focused, mature, and intentional than the reckless young founder he had been.
Of course, true leadership is not soft. It cannot afford to be. But true leadership is fundamentally kind. Those two things are not opposites.
Being soft means lowering the bar because you are afraid of conflict. It means letting poor work slide to preserve a false peace. That is not kindness.
Kindness is the radical act of giving people absolute clarity, equipping them with the tools to win, holding them accountable to their own potential, and still caring about their wellbeing and dignity. The end does not justify the means if the means destroys the individual and weakens the future of the organization.
The reason we run from true kindness is that it requires more work.
It requires investing in clarity instead of dumping your chaos on your people and expecting them to just figure it out. It requires paying attention to people’s strengths and weaknesses, and delegating with intention. It requires pausing to understand what is not working and why, rather than screaming out the frustration of your own unfinished leadership work.
You can only be successfully firm when you have first been fiercely clear.
And that is hard. So we push and scream. We pass down our frustration. Sometimes the work gets done, but people lose their soul in the process, and the organization loses the endurance that should come with success.
Then those same people pass the frustration on to new team members, and everyone simply tries to survive another Monday instead of working eagerly toward the vision of a leader they know cares not only about the targets, but also the people chasing them.
We need intentional cultures. We need business leaders that care.
