I’m 19, ever since I was a kid my mum told me I could be the greatest! Things haven’t been easy for us but she always showed the importance of hard work. I wanted to show her that her sacrifices really mean something. Here’s when I surprised her on FaceTime with @richardbranson

Number 1 Hip-Hop/R&B album in the country. Only took about 15 years to bag one 😂 On a real, endless love. Definitely took a village to get me here and I feel like I’m just getting started. Keep spreading the album far and wide. I think it’s an important body of work. 🏚️

A few clips of me enjoying my first full season in La Liga 💚🤍 Season 22/23 over & out 🙏🏾
Watching the London Marathon today reminded me that success isn't just about talent or luck, it's about grit and perseverance. In business and in life, it's the people who keep pushing forward, even when the going gets tough, who ultimately come out on top.

If you’re building a consumer social app, this is realistically what valuations you should expect from investors:
• No Product (w/ 1-2 engineers): $6 million
• Prototype: $12 million
• Post-Launch (No traction): $8 million
• Post-Launch (Topping the charts): $80-150 million

Absolutely loved seeing people racing around New York in a treasure hunt with @VirginRed and @virginhotelsnyc. Say yes! So great: virg.in/3zqS #VirginFamily
The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a world that's changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks

Growing up is never easy.
A group of friends in 2001 navigate their way through life. #GrimeKids is coming to @bbcthree later this year.

Founders, don't be afraid to pivot if your original idea isn't working. I had to make some tough decisions, but it was the best move for my new start-up. #pivot #entrepreneurship

I’m always amazed by the ambition & resilience of Black #entrepreneurs. Here’s how @tiwaniheritage is making hair extensions from banana fibres & how @BlackSeedVC is funding entrepreneurs furthest from the opportunities: virg.in/JTiF @VirginUnite #FoundersUnite

Bobby Murphy, cofounder and CTO of @Snap, on why he’s betting big on AR rather than VR: Buying a headset and finding the physical space to enter VR can be difficult, but AR "really aligns to how we as humans already naturally operate.” #EmTechMIT trib.al/laY1pu3

Whenever you see a successful person, you only see the public glories, never the private sacrifices to reach them.

Terribly sad to say goodbye to the wonderful Queen Elizabeth II. She was such a constant presence in our lives, and the most inspiring leader. When I met her, I was amazed by her kindness and sense of humour. She will be missed by so many, so deeply: virg.in/oDDR
