I don’t know if I’ll ever come up with the right words to describe the feeling I was given this past weekend. I was given an incredible opportunity to give the commencement speech at @dillarduniversity . I want to thank the entire faculty and staff for the love and support. Meeting you all was special. I wanna thank the graduating class of 2021 and ALL their families for giving me the confidence to push through being nervous. Thank you for giving me so much hope for our future! Seeing the joy in your faces from the moment I arrived to the hugs and pictures after the ceremony reminded me of what truly matters in life. Huge thank you to Dr Kimbrough. (The Hip Hop President!) Our conversations will last me a lifetime and I meant what I said about coming back! #stayready
I was nervous because I’ve never done it before and interestingly enough I wasn’t sure if I could. I gotta admit that having the odds against me felt good. You get comfortable in life sometimes. Always playing it safe and just doing what you’re good at or at least what you’re known for. It may have been the first time since I graduated that my degree actually helped (real talk.)
I also wanna thank my wife @lifeandbread
and kids for not only giving the time & space to write my speech but also the incredible welcome home party. I came home with an honorary doctorate and your signs (taped on the front door) and hugs when I came in were the kinda love dreams are made of.
So grateful 🙏🏾❤❤❤
Link to speech is in my bio👊🏽🙏🏽
Mad love to Fred , Arthur, & Aisha for making this happen 🙏🏽

For those who put in the work on Christmas eve and were with me every step of the way! 4 hours and I lost a bet.
The reaction was worth it. These memories will last a lifetime. S/O to @lifeandbread for The Christmas day chronicles🤗🤗🤗

Your source of news can easily affect what you believe but common sense has to intervene at some point. You can’t vote until society deems you and adult so this question is for all the adults out there.
I’ll wait…

I understand we are not a monolith and will probably never be on the same page across the board but… AT WHAT POINT will it be common knowledge that YOU DO NOT TREAT WOMEN THIS WAY? WHEN YOU DONT RESPECT YOUR OWN WOMEN YOUR SELF HATRED SHINES THROUGH AND personally I wish nothing but the utmost hell has to offer upon your existence. If you are related to any of these assholes please turn them in. Snitch and redeem yourself for even knowing someone so despicable. We have to let it be known that this is NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS ENDS TODAY. MY prayers are with this young mom and I wish her a full recovery both mentally, physically, and emotionally.
There are so many people doing the much needed work to ensure that people can vote and have their voices heard. TMRW I will be getting on IG Live with @_dbuchanan of @ganaacpyc and talking about their work on the ground. Please tune in!!
