On January 1, a new law went into effect that we can't record the cops and first responders within 25 feet. For this exact reason. They want to protect police when they do shit like this. Fuck you, DeSantis.
DJ Sky High Baby has been arrested for recording her United States Olympian boyfriend Fred Kerley, while he was getting arrested!

Any founders interested in pitching Connetic Ventures? They are a digital VC that leverages AI to allow any founder with an internet connection a fair shot at getting funded; $250K - $500K checks at the Pre-Seed & Seed stage across various sectors. Happy to get you connected.

No. The world would be fine without VCs, but the same can’t be said about entrepreneurs/founders. This is one of my biggest gripes with my counterparts and colleagues—continuous conflation and trying to close the gap on sympathy instead of the gap on access and opportunity. 😒
Most people dunking on VCs miss something crucial: VC partners are basically founders themselves. Here's why: They raise funds from LPs just like founders raise from investors - Need a compelling vision - Face constant rejections - Must prove their strategy works They stress

It's the last day of October, and I feel like time is speeding up—seriously. I know there are philosophical explanations, but I'm talking about how physically things feel faster. Is anyone else feeling this?

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

I recently heard someone say, "God don't play about me," and I felt that! Same queen. Same! 😤

Black culture has always excelled at building brands, but it’s time we start owning the infrastructure too. @jdawkinsatl

“Is there anything I can do to help?” is such an underutilized question. Thank you to those who reciprocate an inquiry I often make.

I'm trying to determine if I’m up early or up late. The things on my mind are forcing me to contemplate whether to speak loudly and share the rhyme schemes I plan to orchestrate or sit on the sidelines silently, like the Quiet Place. #WatchThePartyDie
