"Rejoice not against me, my enemies; for when I fall I shall rise; when I sit in darkness the Lord shall be a light unto me"- Micah 7:8
What if winning the election was the easy part?
The bills are still due. Communities still face challenges. Trust in our institutions remains fragile.
We've learned how to defeat one another politically. Have we forgotten how to accomplish something together?
#Election2026
Americaâs next crisis may not happen on Election Day.
It may begin the morning after, when the ballots are counted, the results are clear, and millions of people no longer trust what happened.
You can recount ballots. But how do you recount trust?

Are we investing in solutions, or have we created an economy around the problems?
In "reform", we spend millions addressing the consequences of incarceration, but how much of that investment is actually reducing the need for those services in the first place?
The danger of becoming somebody is forgetting who you were before the world started paying attention.
Don't become a stranger to yourself trying to be somebody to everybody else.
Some stories deserve to be told. Others remind us why storytelling matters in the first place.
Grateful to my brothers @lancekramer and @brandonkramerfilm for allowing me to play a part in @holdingliat, an Oscar-shortlisted documentary, now available on @appletv.

For the first time in 9 years, I convened a group of formerly incarcerated leaders. No non-profit. No grants. No reports. No surveys. My own money.Â
We gathered in Savannah to invest in something we donât talk about enough: wealth generation, community, entrepreneurship, trust, loyalty, and the freedom to be ourselves. No performative WOKE shit. 1/6
Trust doesnât always come from who you expect.
#apieceofmind: When have you experienced unexpected trust?

Donât die with a âperfectâ draft.
At some point, perfection becomes a place to hide.
Nobody can reject what you never release.
Nobody can say yes to it either.
Some fights arenât meant to be won. Theyâre meant to wear you out.Stop wrestling with B.E.A.Rs that have nothing to do with your objective.
You can have access to everybody and a relationship with nobody.
Being in the room doesnât mean you have a relationship with the people in it.
Bridgeport used to feel like a hometown I had to apologize for and/or be ashamed of.
This film proved thereâs real treasure that can come from "trash."

Growth isnât about ADDITION; itâs about SUBTRACTION..
Itâs easy to drop whatâs terrible, but true maturity is learning to let go of whatâs good so you can make room for whatâs great.
Edit your life accordingly.
My recent convo w/ Sean "Diddy" Combs raised a ?:
What happens when the worst part of your story becomes the only part the world reads? Iâve learned to be much slower to believe the worst thing I know about someone is the most important thing about them.
