If you’re unhappy, the internet can be a difficult space to navigate through. I often take breaks from social media to ensure I’m aligned with what’s true and Everlasting. The adornments of the world might sparkle, but all twerk wind ain’t pleasant.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un “To God we belong, and to God is our return”. Man, I’m at an absolute lost for words. Gas was a real one that did so much for the SD culture. A real dude that would pull up on you a moments notice. He showed love to everyone from all sides.
I’m happy & that’s all that matter. X10 more motivated. How was y’all day? Goin out to Belize august, Tokyo in October. Finally leavin the country. They wanna go to Dubai but I don’t drink (haram Anyway) but I’d like to smoke tbh. One day shout to @Affluent_Malik

I love seeing my bros win. It’s a feeling that’s indescribable. Especially those that had a serious uphill bounce-back. I admire wholeheartedly, the ones that were still able to remain humble after passing the same folk that tried their hardest to kick them when they were down.

Wins can fuel arrogance, while taking loses builds character and humility.

Getting towards the end of this course. This is usually when I show my students my Instagram, and reveal to them how Clark Kent was once Super Man.

Whenever a government cuts the internet off during protests, you know they are up to some major human rights violations…

It gets weird sometimes, but don’t let the weird get to you, or change you, or make you start to act weird in return.

I am a professional my own business minder. That’s what I do for a living. I mind my own business. Unfortunately we’re not hiring at the moment.

It’s really sad to see how they are trying to sanitize Nipsey Hussle’s story. I read one “black facts” page literally say that he wasn’t “really an active gang banger”. This totally diminishes the immensity of his evolution.

In similitude, you have to understand the depths of Detroit Red to fully comprehend the magnitude of Malcolm X. Just as a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, to say the butterfly was never a caterpillar, disregards the struggle, effort and enormity of that transformation.

A lot of this new age slang don’t make sense to me. That’s how I know I’m getting old(er).

They just cut the red tape on the school they built and named after my aunt. I couldn’t be more happy and proud.
Speaking of the 4th grade, that’s when I took this picture with my aunt who just recently passed away. If you read up on her incredible story, you’ll understand why it wasn’t far fetched that I was in a GATE class.

Funny how age gives you the need to just be peaceful I didn’t understand it till now I just want to be happy I used to be with all the chaos but not now lol
I probably listen to rap maybe once or twice a month, if any at all. When I do play any music, more than likely it’s Afrobeats. I haven’t played my own music in ages. I actually just disconnected my SoundCloud subscription yesterday. It no longer serves a purpose.

Y’all can say what you want all day, but young men wanna be future. Grown men respect Russell❕

I swear, nowadays people would rather take a loud 100,000 than a quiet million.
Seem like people wanna tell a success story more than they wanna be successful
