Kevin Durant's infamous "toe on the line" moment took place 5 years ago today 😞

NEW YORK CITY, YOU LISTEN TO ME.
IF YOUR NEAR A CONVENIENCE STORE RIGHT NOW, ANY KIND OF 24 HOUR STORE, GO INTO THE STORE RIGHT NOW, AND PUT YOUR HAND IN THE CASH REGISTER FOR NO REASON. THEIR MONEY IS YOUR MONEY, AS OF RIGHT NOW.
now take this information and flip it. constantly pointing out the things you are grateful for can train your brain to notice more things to be grateful for. constantly noticing abundance will train your brain to notice even more abundance. flip the script & stay in control.
The honey badger saw three leopards coming towards him and decided to place his honey at a secure area and came back to fight 😂
You just have to love this animal.
My mom’s older brother passed away a few years ago. He was the quiet type. Lived in the same modest house for decades. Wore old flannels. Fixed his own car. No one ever thought of him as “well off.”
After he died, we learned he had been buying small life insurance policies over the years. Not for himself. For his nieces and nephews.
In his will, he left each of us a payout that would only be released for one thing: education, starting a business, or a down payment on a first home.
No speeches. No “remember me” letter. Just paperwork and signatures.
Turns out he had also been anonymously paying for one cousin’s trade school tuition when their parents couldn’t afford it. None of us knew.
He never posted about helping anyone. Never brought it up at dinner.
He just quietly positioned the next generation a few steps ahead.
Sometimes love looks like preparation no one sees coming.
Reminder that the civil rights movement was not just random people who had enough one day. They were carefully and militantly trained political activists who deployed strategic forces to end Jim Crow segregation. Never forget them.
I feel aggrieved when folks disrespect Black “Americans.” I feel aggrieved when folks disrespect continental Africans. I feel aggrieved when folks disrespect any part of the African diaspora. And I be confused when the disrespect comes from other Black ppl.
