A journey.
There's a saying that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. I also like this scripture: He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harms.Proverbs 13:20 NIV And whether you're trying to build a successful business or just get your life together,… Continue reading The People You Need To Be Successful
2020 is feeling like the start from hell tbh. Between the myriad of natural disasters, plane crashes, coronavirus and loss of many loved ones, it’s hella rough. So before I dive into my random, remember to treat pain with tenderness. In the midst of seeing so many mourn the loss of Kobe Bryant, his daughter… Continue reading The Holders of Forgiveness
Do you ever talk with someone who has so many great ideas and business concepts, who would thrive as an entrepreneur but then they never do anything with their ideas? I do. I am someone. Someone is me. Me is someone. I know I'm not alone so this is for all of we out there.… Continue reading The Great Divide: Thinking to Doing
In my late teens early twenties, my cousin used to tease me for watching so many “white people shows”. I loved me some One Tree Hill, Hart of Dixie and all the other CW shows about small town life. I grew up in a small town (600 people) so I connected with the quaint, simplicity… Continue reading Other Black Stories

For the most part, if you stick with buying produce that are local or in season, it is pretty cheap. The more westernized the food product, the more expensive it is.

In small, island churches, there aren’t always elaborate sound systems, teams of musicians or singers with the voice of an angel. Sometimes it’s just a church mother and her voice filled with years of experience of overcoming with God’s Grace and a tambourine. When I was a kid, the tambourine was the funnest instrument in… Continue reading Flamenco Dancing & Church Ladies
Some people when they think of networking, their mind goes to schmoozing at a bougie event, collecting a bunch of business cards all with the hopes of maybe connecting with someone who can help you land a job. Sometimes that is the case. But, there’s still so much value in networking. There’s a saying that… Continue reading The Value of Networking
These past two weeks I got to do a bit of travel for work and the food was so amazing. Here is but a sampling. Myanmar foods have some interesting smells but always contain some green vegetables, pickled items, curried meats, rice and noodles. It's a mashup of Chinese, Indian and Thai influence. Yes, that… Continue reading Food
I can't even write like I've traveled around the place much since I've been here. The extent of my travels has been in Yangon where I live, Pyay, Mandalay and Nay Pyi Daw and those were for school field trips. But Myanmar has some pockets of gems, outside of it's dirty façade. It is a… Continue reading Explore Myanmar
