The "winners" you see in life have also lost. A lot. I don't want our young people (or anybody) to hear what they can or cannot do, before they even try. #ColorCommentary

We should be more honest with how we talk about ambition. #ColorCommentary

The manosphere is not a fringe internet thing anymore. It is in schools, in politics, and in the lives of Black boys right now. I sat down with @citizenstewart to break down the Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere and what it actually means for our kids.

We all strive to be ambitious. To do bigger and better things and build up our work. But, maybe we need to make sure we're not flying too close to the sun... #ColorCommentary

From the shelter to what many would consider "successful," one thing that's always been with me is the drive to do more. If i'm being vulnerable, I do struggle with defining the line where i'm letting the hustle and ambition take over. #ColorCommentary

You may have a Mary Shelly or a Nas in your presence right now. Are you cultivating a space for them to experiment and create? #colorcommentary #nas #maryshelly #frankenstein #illmatic

I appreciate anyone who takes time to engage with these random thoughts of mine and i'll always reflect on pushback, good faith debate, and alternative view points. That said, this is a prime example of the onus always ending up back on Black men, regardless of the situation. #colorcommentary

Let's be real, the argument for "states rights" really boils down to a way for certain people to fight to preserve America's racial hierarchy. #ColorCommentary

Tyler Perry represents a certain level success that you can't deny. Of course there's criticisms of him and his work, but I won't go after him in mixed company... #ColorCommentary

Whatever you think about Tyler Perry, you can't deny he knows his audience. And he's been a huge success because of it. #ColorCommentary

We lost one of our leaders. He wasn't perfect, no one is. We should be honoring his legacy and the lessons he left us. #JesseJackson #ColorCommentary

The BAFTAs response should've been so different... #ColorCommentary EPISODE: youtu.be/VHNJKUt_C3g?si=yoBH…

The reality of viral BAFTAs "N-word" moment... #ColorCommentary

One of Ryan Coogler's biggest wins was Black Panther being successful internationally, when we know the struggles marketing Black actors and films abroad... #ColorCommentary

"Payday loans" are targeting Black, brown, and poor folks and making a fortune for the already wealthy... #ColorCommentary

There's a big difference between sitting on social media critiquing systems all day, and doing the work to change them... #ColorCommentary

Poverty is racialized in this country. And it's expensive to be poor. That's just how the system wants to keep it. #ColorCommentary

Black people, its in our DNA to persevere. We've been through worse. But, make sure to give yourself some grace. #ColorCommentary

Is it justice you are looking for or a revolution? We gotta talk about the co-opting of revolutionary language, even by a lot of people doing good work. #ColorCommentary

"How can a student have an A in an English class and still be multiple grades behind?" It happens EVERY DAY! Understanding both grade inflation and grade illusion can help you stay on top of your/your children's ACTUAL learning. #GradeIllusion #GradeInflation #ColorCommentary
