Just released the WALO Print, resulting from linear, quadratic and absolute value functions (Algebra I and II) @thediarrablu This work also informs my work education. Teaching Mathematics w Art improves learning for students. #fashiontech #diarrablumath @joboaler @KnowlesTeachers

Fast fashion completely erases the dignified labor, culture and humanity behind small brands. Seeing my @thediarrablu design appear on @FashionNova is a painful reminder of how fragile creative labor can be in today’s fashion system. This is unacceptable.

What a privilege to be tired from work you once begged the universe for. what a privilege to feel overwhelmed by growth you used to dream about. what a privilege to be challenged by a life you created on purpose. What a privilege to outgrow things you used to settle for.

The most dangerous person in the world is the one who continues to show up every day even when the rewards are not guaranteed. Your potential is determined by the amount of uncertainty you’re able to tolerate and how long you can tolerate it for.

The person who can control their emotions in any situation has the edge. Self-control is a tactical advantage.

Champions train when they don't feel like it. That's literally the only difference. Not talent. Not genetics. Not luck. Just showing up when showing up sucks.

The fastest way to attract what’s meant for you is to express yourself so honestly that everything misaligned falls away on its own.

The quickest way to become more confident is to become more competent.

Too many people who are good at one thing somehow start thinking that it makes their opinion about everything else equally valuable. That's why it's so important at any stage of life to pursue different hobbies, to remember what it's like to be a beginner, to nurture the humility necessary for lifelong success.

You can literally learn to love anything, so just make sure you love what will make your body healthier, your mind sharper, your soul calmer, your life better.

Being interesting has little to do with your intelligence, and much more to do with whether you had the courage to explore independently another path, regardless of what "society" thought about it.

Sunday truth.

"When building habits, choose consistency over content. The best book is the one you can’t put down. The best exercise is the one you enjoy doing every day. The best health food is the one you find tasty. The best work is the work you’d do for free." @naval

Lucky people are just people who actually committed to what they said they were gonna do ten years ago.

It doesn't matter how over-saturated the market is. If the Universe called you to it, there's always room for you.

Modern luxury is the ability to think clearly, sleep deeply, move slowly, and live quietly in a world designed to prevent all four.
