Today I write this blog post to you with a mixture of grievance and anger in my heart. It's May 29, 2020 and the same cries about inequality and injustices are still very prevalent here in America as they were 40+ years ago. I'd like to start by saying Rest In Power to George Floyd, a 46-year old black man, who was barbarically murdered by Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin on May 28, 2020.

Also rest in power to the likes of anybody who was wrongfully killed by the hands of law enforcement/neighborhood watch  at any point and time in history.  

I cried and cried and cried and cried about you, George.

I watched the video of what happened and I felt the hurt deep all the way to my core. It was one of the sickest things I've ever watched done to a person.

Does a man deserve to die for trying to use a fake $20 bill? (allegedly)

Does a man deserve to die for selling loose cigarettes? (As in the case with Eric Garner)

I wanted to post a status on my Facebook on behalf of your situation but I decided not to because I'm worried Facebook might disable my account once again. It seems they've been trying to censor my stuff alot lately so I have to share my thoughts here.

These days it seems as though if we aren't fighting a new strain of virus then we are dealing with the evidence of a society deteriorating from the inside out.

The supposed 'land of the free and home of the brave' has failed us once again. I use the word 'us' because it doesn't matter whether you are white, black, Asian, Hispanic, or other, it would be totally disheartening if you felt okay with raising children in a society where people are hated for the color of their skin, their religious choice , or their sexual preference.

...Or even worse...
Killed for it.

Now granted...

I am a black man. I was born and raised in New York, USA.

I couldn't tell you a single time in my 29 years of living when I witnessed a black friend or family member plot to do a hate crime towards a white person. Never. Not even once. I also never in my life witnessed a black person call the cops on a white person for jogging in, congregating in, or simply walking through a 'black neighborhood'. And I've been around lots and lots of black people in my lifetime. But I can tell you a couple times when police have profile me.

Also, I have many black friends who have experienced the very same thing. I'm sure you've heard about the thousands of young unarmed black men slain at the hands of police over the years so it is no secret that something needs to change in society.

I am 100% embarrassed and upset to be saying this in 2020. I feel like the 'race hate thing' is old news and such a parasitic way of thinking that I really can't fathom how a world can become a better place if race is still a determining factor on how we love one another. It's so stupid. It's such an ancient and limited way of thinking.

You'd think people would see how fast Coronavirus has killed thousands of people and start to straighten up, come together, work together, and become a voice for the voiceless.

...This is why I've been working on something for a while now that I know can bring MAJOR change to society.

Police Brutality Still On The Rise. How Will Things Get Better?

I really can't fathom how we expect pandemics and war to cease if the hearts and minds of society is not right.

A big part of why I became a full time entrepreneur is because of the FREEDOM it allowed me.

The freedom to run my business the way I wanted...

The freedom to schedule my work day around a lifestyle I enjoy...

The freedom to work with people of different ethnicity, races, and backgrounds...

...ANY business idea, product I create, or message I share is with the intent to help more and more people in the entire world. It is not to cause disunity and confusion within people. I genuinely love helping people have breakthroughs in their lives and the more diverse the faces I can impact the more of a greater purpose I know I am serving to humanity. The truth is we are all connected and no matter how different the outer appearance may be we all deal with similar desires, struggles, triumphs, and experiences. We all just want to live a better quality of life.

Do we not?

...I can't even count on my fingers the amount of times my mom used to BLOW MY PHONE UP worrying that something might've happened to me as a young black kid being outside...

This was when I was at the ages of 14-19 years old. My adolescent years.

She'd plead and plead with me to be safe wherever I am. She'd miss out on hours of sleep because she'd be up late at night waiting for me to come home. It was as if I was living a teenager drug dealing life but that wasn't the case, it's just the mental trauma most black mothers have to deal with... especially when raising a young black son. We tend to face brutal opposition from our own and from the law enforcing police in our communities. It's to the point where our moms had to hope and pray we got back home safely.

...Is this how it is for you in your community?

The very people we pay our tax dollars to protect and serve us are on the streets killing us. We cry and cry for help for many years but to no avail. If we don't bring awareness to TRUE INJUSTICE in the world then how can we expect the quality of life to get better?

Could you imagine me working my business in a way where I dislike white people? Asians? Or Spanish people?

I mean that would be the most ridiculously stupidest thing I could do...like.... ever. I love spanish food and spanish music, how could I hate the people? I love the Asian way of living and simplistic viewpoints, how could I hate the people? I love my African roots, African rhythm, and Strength, how could I hate my people?

It would be delusional to hate a people who create things I enjoy.

Don't get me wrong, this is WAY bigger than business.

This is WAY bigger than even 'racism'. 

That's why my vision is WAY bigger than it's ever been before. 

I don't think the solution to racism is VIOLENCE  but I also don't think the solution is PEACE.. we've tried both. I think the solution is BRINGING AWARENESS through content creation while getting paid to do it. This will in turn unify the 'conscious' people in society and spark action towards change.

I'll say it again: "I think the solution is BRINGING AWARENESS through content creation while getting paid to do it. 

Not to mention I have a vision to FREE 1,000,000,000 people from financial and spiritual bondage so it would be completely delusional of me to have any hate in my heart towards anyone whatsoever. As far as I'm concerned we are all one. We are all connected. Each of us are just a part of a greater whole and sometimes we foolishly set up illusions of separation that make absolutely NO SENSE when you think about it.

...I open my business to all people of different shapes, sizes, colors, religions, and backgrounds while casting absolutely NO judgement.

In fact, peel my skin and you wouldn't know my race at all.
Peel your skin and I wouldn't know your race at all either.

Are you ready to join forces, make money, and put a stop to hate in Society?

TOAST TO YOUR SUCCESS,
