I was brought into a family in Canada from an orphanage in Kingston, Jamaica 32 years ago today. I was just under two. Since then, some pretty epic shit has happened. Always grateful. 🙏🏾

Moderating this panel with these incredible founders quite literally right after landing in Vancouver at @vanstartupweek! @ice_panel @steventen @shreyanshmancha @tokifyi If you have any questions that you'd like me to ask, let me know! I'll put together an article recapping the takeaways :)

Increasing number of Uber drivers in Vancouver asking to have me cancel the trip and then e-transfer them the fare amount. Assuming it’s because Uber is increasingly taking a larger cut… 🤔

Wow ... guys...Vancouver showed up BIG last night. We had an incredible turnout to our first @build_canada event in the city -- so many smart, ambitious people in one room who all believe Canada can do more and be more. The energy was real. Feels like the start of something big.... Grateful to everyone who showed up and leaned in. Can’t wait to see where we take this next! Massive s/o to @hunterscharfe, @bwertz and our awesome crew of volunteers who made this happen 💪
