Week was some shit but it ended well.

My 4 year sat still, as much as he could, and let me cut his hair 🥹

I’m Ricky’s son, I’m good.

Dog, I'm almost at that point when I ask "when these kids go back to school?!?l”

Prada myself. Daughter was trippin a little bit today after camp but I stood my ground and didn’t yell at her.

They talk about living room kids being open and vulnerable to their parent’s and comfortable enough to share a room/space with them.

I need my kids to be bedroom kids sometimes and leave me alone…

This country is in shambles rn but the American in me cannot wait for football season 🤷🏾‍♂️idc idc 🇺🇸

Staying down until you come up is easy to say when you up but hard to when you down.

Stay locked in.

Pure blood and soil fascism to be sure. But also by this definition, no one who came to this country after 1865 has a viable claim on being an American. Not the Trumps, not the DeSantis’ or the Rubios or the Cruzes, the Ramaswamys and not Vance’s own Indian-American wife and mixed race children.

In back to back summers in colonizing Europe, one thing I learned is that they gon put some clothes on. None of that Athleisure stuff

Everybody is asking me for help and not helping themselves.

Star Alliance Lounge>>

I will NOT miss the cigarette smoke of Europe.

America not America without Black people. This really our country.

Real quick on Paris: It was cool but why they got conspicuous Police presence outside the synagogue?

Get a weekly agenda with you two at the top, finances, kids, work, social life, family, and friends/social. Google Calendars is your friend!

Thankful for the pressure; it made me map out my next 6 years professionally with check points to make sure we end up how we want. Personally too.

Marriage: gotta increase communication. With us and our kid’s social life increasing, and more family responsibility, it’s easy to let that get between us. Had to go corporate in the marriage and have weekly structured check ins, I used to scout at seeing couples on IG do it but it’s necessary.

3rd quarter of 2025is here:

Had a “bad” first half of the year, but a necessary one. Mainly related to business and even marriage.

Business: some things went down that we could predict and others that we couldn’t. There was some upside and we made changes and look to end stronger than we started.

Lean into your inate privilege

Why did my kids eat all the marshmallows out the Lucky Charm bag?!

The way Edgecombe’s brother melted into his brother’s arms >>>>>>>

I still don’t forgive Joe D for passing Melo…

The f***ed up part about Juneteenth is that we ain’t know for 2 years we were free.

Information is currency. Don’t be a fool out here in dese skreets.

My son 5 starburst in before 8am, somebody come help.

You know it’s hood when you older than yo auntie or uncle. Lol

After 7 years of living in Chicago, I finally got my city sticker for the whip lol.

My paternal grandfather never knew his father.

My grandfather wasn’t all the way present in my Dad’s life.

My Dad was present but then split from my Mom.

I’m looking to stay married and be in the house forever.

Get better with each generation.

Father’s Day be so polarizing in the Black community.

But just know that this country’s objective is to destabilize the Black family.

S/O the guys who are REstabilizing the Black community. ✊🏾
