@JennieNwokoye @hm Take control!! Thank you for the message and reminder Sis 💙💙

I lost 50 pounds 🥳 While I’m excited about my weight loss, this isn’t the focus of my tweet. I bought these jeans from @hm in July 2023, the day I traveled to Nigeria—a trip I wasn’t thrilled about at the time. They quickly became my favorite jeans: comfortable and perfectly fitted. But they also served as a painful reminder of my struggle with prolonged sadness—or maybe functioning depression—which contributed to my weight gain. If you’re in tune with yourself, your soul often tells you when something is off. For years, I knew something wasn’t right. I knew I needed a change and had things to unpack, but fear held me back. I masked the discomfort with busyness, and it worked—until January 2023. That’s when my soul couldn’t take it anymore. Most days, I struggled to get out of bed, but I had to keep going. I had a company to run and people to show up for. By the end of 2023, my soul was crushed. My only prayer became one for restoration; I could no longer carry the weight of past hurts, disappointments, or traumas. Most of 2024 wasn’t much better personally, but I finally decided to take control of my health—mentally, physically, and spiritually. And it’s paying off. I feel like I’m becoming the person I used to see in my dreams but always thought was unattainable. I committed to the gym, sought therapy, unplugged from social media, and, most importantly, spent time crying and praying at God’s feet. If you’re struggling with depression, sadness, grief, disappointment, heartbreak—whatever it is—keep praying at the Lord’s feet. Even if you have no words, show up. He hears your groans and intercedes on your behalf. - God sees you. - God hears you. - God is close to the brokenhearted and crushed in spirit. - God carries you. - God speaks for you (Chinasa). - God loves you. I’m so thankful for my family, friends, and even strangers who showed up for me this year—those who listened to me vent repeatedly, prayed for me, encouraged me, and wiped my tears. You refused to let me sit in my sadness. And to Chidi: When I was at my lowest, you gave me your space, listened without judgment, and just let me be. Thank you. Pray. Forgive. Let go. Forget? (Just kidding—try to forget! 😂) And move forward. It gets better. Here’s to living our healthiest, happiest lives! 💙

Congratulations Bryton! It was a pleasure to work with you this year! Thank you for serving as a Peer Leader and invoking change in your community @APEERGOTMEHERE @PeerForward

@NBAMemes Have to consider that Jimmy has longevity in the playoffs while Playoff P plays one series a year with that average

Playoff Jimmy from 2018: 22.1 ppg 6.7 rpg 5.3 apg Playoff P from 2018: 24.8 ppg 7.9 rpg 4.3 apg Yet one is considered a playoff choker and other is a 'legendary' playoff performer...

@ToldByGingerr_ 😂 And so it begins!

I haven’t even started wedding planning for real and my family is already annoying me. My response from here on out will be “IF you receive an invitation, you’ll have the information!” Don’t ask me anything.

Boarding a flight: Checks seat # 18 times 😅 Is it just me or nah?
