Sometimes you just have to focus
on the steps right in front of you,
instead of the entire staircase.
One foot in front of the other.

Going into 2023, can we please leave behind the idea that we need to be perfect all the time. #LetItGo

Things black parents say:
“Go to bed. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Go straight to bed.”
Yes, I’m that black parent.
Q: What off the wall things did your parents say to you?

Be careful how much you “use people”.
Eventually folks will get tired of you only calling when you want something…
A Wise man once told me before you ASK for anything, DO EVERYTHING!

Do you understand that fitting in isn’t a good thing?
I realized a long time ago that while standing out was lonely and hard, it has made me who I am.
Being unique and different is one of your best qualities too.
Don’t sacrifice THAT for fake comfort.
@MrJRoss
Potential CAN be wasted.
Who cares if you don’t feel confident enough?
It doesn’t even matter if you’re READY.
Trust me, there are people out here who can’t boil water who are doing the things you keep talking about.
This was for somebody…yep, you…read it again…

Distance isn’t the only thing that creates separation between people…
Silence also creates separation…
Maybe you are being silenced and you don’t even know it…
Maybe all you need to do is be silent and allow the separation to happen…
@MrJRoss
After you feel like someone is avoiding you, don’t bother reaching out.
People have to learn that their issues don’t have to become yours.
You can do bad all by yourself.
@MrJRoss
Some people will disguise their selfish acts as service to others.
Loyalty shouldn’t be self serving.
It’s very black and white.
Pay attention.

Last night I saw a dope commercial with Emmanuel Acho & LinkedIn around getting a black man a job. It was dope. Wondering if LinkedIn partners with specific communities who to get folks jobs and opportunities? Would love to make that happen on a local level in #Minneapolis.
