The song was Love On Top and it’s still up there. Happy 6th Love.
Baby girl – The toughest part about being your father is trying to balance preparing you for the World while not dimming the love and wonder in your eyes.
It’s an uneasy feeling as a parent knowing the World is helping us raise you. No matter how well me and mom pave the road, the World will always be loose gravel waiting, blending in until it decides to pop up in the form of questions, gestures, and experiences.
What did you say?! Where did you learn this? How did you know that? Tell me more — You force me to examine myself as a father with every question, comment, emotion, or impromptu dance because YOU ARE A LEADER.
You don’t let the World rush you because the World is on your time. And although it’s infuriating getting you to understand when we need to make moves, I know God put that in you for reasons I’m able to learn from.
You are the light that wakes us up in the morning and the compass Madden loves to follow.
HAPPY 5TH CAIROOoOoOOo!

Brown Sugar is in the All American universe. 🤣
In co-writing my first episode, I had to throw a nod to the fact that I grew up on watching @tayediggsinsta. Taye was the first actor I learned we landed for AA – that’s when I knew we had something special beyond our inner circle discussions about what the show could be.
And in 10-20 years, when I throw a Spencer James @danielezra quote into another tv/movie, I’ll be right back here detailing why while watching Daniel collect his inevitable (multiple) Emmy’s and Oscars!
Your teacher once said “Madden’s a leader, but he’s a loved leader.” I think about that often watching you navigate this world. In the midst of all that’s going on, you continue to remind me to enjoy the little things while exploring every aspect of what it means to be a Cancer. At some point the world will attempt to define you against your will but the “loved leader” in you won’t blink first. And if you ever feel it coming, just look behind you, ‘cause Dadi, @blairpysngr, and your tribe will be there!
Happy 3rd Birthday Bino!

I keep my head down a lot these days working but one of my oldest friends @ms_menzies gave me the space to look back on my transition from the @NFL to @cwallamerican on the @no_straight_path podcast in ways I haven’t before. Definitely came away feeling lighter having let some things out during our talk. Check it out if you have time. Link in story and in @no_straight_path bio.
Part 2 of my convo with @no_straight_path is live! Link in Story.
