I Cannot and Will Not Give What I Don’t Have
Read this article on Substack! Earlier this year I published this video where I talked about how standing your ground should be an expectation specifically when being wrongfully oppressed. Most people aren’t going to let anyone push them around for too long, at least I think so. That’s what I felt was happening to me…
A Moment to Reflect
For the first time in a long time I have an opportunity to reflect. I’ve been reflecting over a lot. I heard Michelle Obama say that she is laying more claim over her story and is utilizing her wisdom from her experience. I heard another content creator share how sometimes we get to endure things…
Financial Goal Setting
Financial goal setting is when you have objectives that you want to achieve in your finances/with your money. Common financial goals include being able to retire, generational wealth, hitting your critical mass, saving up for a home or a car, so on and so forth. Having goals for your money is valuable when you want…
Too True…
What does it mean to be/have a lifestyle brand? Truthfully, I have limited experience with the concept. That said, my focus is on how I can create helpful content for you. I’m sure there are other examples, but the one thing that I do occasionally that I feel a little selfish about, is when I…

The 1920s and Parallels to the 2020s
Read this article on Substack! I want to formulate my thoughts on The Roaring 20s because I think it is an interesting period of time with respect to the Great Depression. Also, as of my writing this, we are currently in a neo-roaring 20s era with us currently in the 2020s; so, with respect relevancy…
Embracing Leadership
Wisdom and life circumstances are changing my perspective on this. I identify with the definition of leadership as one who guides by going first. In leadership spaces you can hear or be part of conversations on the importance of rallying subordinates and producing results. That said, what isn’t always explicitly said with respect to leadership…
Maintaining the Present
I am coming to realize that maintaining is just as important as ascertaining, if not more so. Through gaining perspective via my past I have been reconsidering some of my decisions. That said, I don’t feel compelled to be harsh towards myself (as I may once have been) because I feel as though you don’t…
