This December, we'll be marking Malaika's 18th anniversary! 🎉 Join us on Dec 7 for a virtual celebration of this milestone (and my birthday) - hosted by @junesarpong, with inspiring stories from our community, fun surprises, and more. 💚 RSVP here: bit.ly/malaikaturns18

A truly special moment for Malaika, welcoming @GraceGeyoro to our ecosystem. For every young girl here, seeing you is a living reminder that greatness is not out of reach: it starts right here, in this very community. Thank you, Grace, for making the journey back!

Today marks the 10th anniversary of Prince’s death. To honor his musical legacy, we asked Questlove for a list of his 100 favorite Prince songs. The result is a deeply informed and profoundly moving tribute to one of the greatest artists of all time. rollingstone.com/music/music-li…

This man was a great inspiration and big brother. We had love and respect for each others work and I was blessed to know him. He encouraged and elevated me as you see here. How you are missed in the flesh but the music and spirit lives on.

In Tokyo, there's a cleaning crew that does the impossible every 12 minutes. They're called TESSEI. They clean the Shinkansen bullet trains at Tokyo Station. When a train arrives, it stops for 12 minutes before departing again. Two minutes for passengers to exit. Three more for the next batch to board. That leaves seven. In those seven minutes, one person must: - Clean 100 seats - Wipe every tray table - Vacuum the floor - Rotate every seat to face the new direction of travel - Replace all headrest covers - Check the overhead bins - Bow to incoming passengers Seven. Minutes. They do this hundreds of times a day. Harvard Business School published a case study about them. The New York Times called it "the 7-minute miracle." Tourists now stand on the platform just to watch. Before they start, they bow to the train. When they finish, they line up and bow to the passengers. They're paid by the hour. Many are in their 50s and 60s. Japan didn't invent cleaning. They invented the dignity of doing small things perfectly.
