🕊️ The Washington Informer Mourns the Loss of James L. Wright, Jr. It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved longtime staff writer, James L. Wright, Jr. (1963–2025). James was more than a reporter, he was family, a mentor, & a voice our community trusted.

@TheSzef and the hats slap so guess its all worth it when the product is dope too! #winning

Officially one month of working for absolutely nobody. This slaps. Sleep in. Workout whenever. More time with the wife and kids. Take random trips. Work on a few things here and there. Order POs. Build some ads and emails in Canva. Post on on IG. Curate the private FB group. Sell hats and make content. KEEP. IT. SIMPLE.
