My parting word on @ShaniCares’s IG live today was this.

Black people, we NEED to start focusing our energy on our economics.

We can’t be in fun mode all the time yo. Your favorite rapper/athlete already got their toast buttered, YOU HAVE NOTHING!

That little bullshit IG flexing you doing don’t mean shit. Wealth is a team sport and not a solo act. All these billion dollar corps we pour money into were founded on partnerships.

We need a shift in our mindset. From now on we gotta think like check writers instead of check receivers. We transitioning for consuming to PRODUCING. We gotta build out our economics so we have the resources to push back at the system.
