I was accepted in a PhD program!! Me! This Black boy from the south— the one that was told he was a failure and would never amount to anything. I beat the odds of what they said I’d be as a Black man. My Black is resilient and unwavering. I am Black history in the making.

Would you rather be uninformed or misinformed? Both have their own implications while also providing insight about who we may be as people. Bottomline - we are all flawed, and this world needs more Jesus. The BLOOD still works!

@CoolestLame_Evr Gross! Delete this, please!

Dear Lord, Today, flood my name into rooms where miracles are being made. Let favor beat me to places I haven’t walked in yet. If anything’s been held up—release it. If anything’s been stolen—restore it. If anything’s been mishandled—redeem it. Don’t let this day end without evidence that You’re still the God who provides, protects, and promotes without warning. In Jesus’ name. Amen🙏🏾

Lord, I trust you.

Dear Lord, Today, make it obvious. Let the right thing happen that confirms I’m exactly where I need to be. I don’t need applause—just confirmation. Let my prayers speak louder than doubt, and let Your favor show up in ways that can’t be denied. I still believe You’re about to do something major and extraordinary. In Jesus’ name. Amen🙏🏾

These past few weeks have been incredibly stressful for a number of reasons. I’ve struggled in more ways than one. But Lord, I still thank you!

Remember this: people thought the Montgomery bus boycotts wouldn’t work either. You have to start somewhere. And if this isn’t your starting point, fine. But don’t shit on those who are using today to do something. Geez.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be accepted in Your sight.

@CoolestLame_Evr This is definitely Pentecostal. And let those folks worship! 🤦🏿‍♂️

Baptists put on a show and it annoys me. Lol

You’ve got this! ♥️

Give yourself some grace. You did what you could yesterday. Try your best to shake the feeling of defeat and prepare better for your next challenge. I know it can be hard at times, but you’ve got this!

@LvnDvs Lmfao. What is the first one from?

Circa 2004 as drum major of my high school marching band - when the beat dropped to “Knuck if you Buck”! Never been the same since. #WhenITurnedBlack

@GsspSqrrlScott You’ve long surpassed me, good sir!
