Hello cousins,

I haven't been on much lately due to conflicts in where I want to take Blkem. It has been really a challenging process and still continues to be. After 4 years and finally launching a Safety App for the community, there's the behind the scenes issues that you do not see, especially when you're supposed to be in a partnership with other Black-Owned entities. It seems like BOEs rather take the glory than share the glory to help the masses. I ain't cut out that way!

I am a huge advocate for collaboration, HONEST work, and helping people and communities in need. Once people move the goalpost, I tend to distance myself because I don't want my noble ethics be tainted with immoral constructs that involves greed.

While I pride myself in launching such a platform for the community, the support is not there and that burden becomes heavier and heavier each year. From what I have seen since launch, Black Empowerment is only exciting as long as it's beneficial and if there's work that needs to be done, many people walk away without even trying. As a really really good friend told me a month ago.."I spent over 4 years trying to do my part in saving the Black community, now it is time to save yourself and then circle back".

The conflict that I have been dealing with is staying the course, or switching direction that ultimately leads me back to Black Empowerment focused strategies.

I am not saying that this is the end all for Blkem...i'm just saying that I have to refocus my prioritizes before dialing back.

Hope you all understand!

*** On other notes, I have one fun project (a Blkem bae inspired project) that I am working on NOT connected to Blkem and possibly starting another that will be connected to Blkem, in a way.

Stuido session this morning was solid. Piano practice this morning solid. Piano students this afternoon were solid. All I need is the gym session tonite to be solid and it will have been a solid day. #YupYup

Aliens showed up in Miami.. anyone else said bout damn time?

@Draenation happy birthday my boi !

That first day back after a break from the gym is hell!

Moving is such a good Kdrama.

i missed all the drama so I went to cap house and once I finally scrolled to the top and got kicked out 😑

Sooooo. I think Max Erin and Cap House are cool Af and will dig my little idea. What do y’all think about a Blkem mixer at some point? Have a vote amongst everyone where a few cities are presented and the most voted for is where we’d link up. Drinks, food, etc.

Good morning 😃

Conspiracy theories are something else.

Lately to get myself out the house I have to make an appointment..Reservation or something. If it's up to me I'll just keep saying I have time and then it's late.
