Dope Experiences: My first Spartan Competition

Last weekend I competed in my first Spartan Competition – probably the most challenging physical experience that I have done thus far in adulthood.

10 Major Keys From the MLT Kickoff Seminar

Let me first start out by saying that the last 30 days of my life have been nothing short of transformational. Everything from cranking out 75 miles of running in March to increasing my GMAT score 50+ points. Part of this is due to a statement from my MLT Coach, Jackson, who said at […]

How I traveled to Brazil for 4 days for under $500

BRAZIL 2016 – IT’S ALL GOOD Alright, it’s pretty obvious but I love to travel. So when 3-day holiday weekends pop-up on the work calendar, I try to get a new destination on the books. This past MLK weekend, I decided to trek down to Brazil (both Sao Paulo & Rio de Janeiro) for some […]

My Quarter-Life Crises and How I Made It

During November, in honor of getting past my quarter life crises and turning 26, I read 3 books as part of a series on relationship building. I would be telling a bald-faced lie if I said that these books were life changing – so I won’t. Instead I’ll just express some key takeaways from each.

Come thru, it’s lit!

If I ever have the privilege of falling in love and getting married. I swear my wedding invitation would say “Come thru, it’s lit” and nothing else. But honestly, I must to say that I attended the wedding of two close friends who I’ve known since college and they shut it down. It was LIT! Best wedding […]

A not so classic case of #DrivingWhileBlack

During my senior year of high school, I was driving home from work late one afternoon and listening to Kanye West’s Graduation album, arguably the greatest album release of 2007. I can’t even lie and say that it wasn’t thumpin’ as I like to listen to music at a volume high enough to really appreciate it while driving, […]
