The #GeoffreyOwens ordeal really bothered me. I haven’t spent much time on social media these days, because I’m immersed in the work. I’m finalizing summer clients, starting the school year, and trying to find free time to still be a creative. This is the hustle.

The blue check doesn’t stop the bills, it doesn’t make the deductibles lower (I’m looking AT YOU health insurance), and it most certainly doesn’t guarantee opportunity. It’s surface. & until I can walk this earth without worrying about finance...I will always HUSTLE.
When I know I’m not going to break even/profit—I write articles, I perform, I throw events, and/or I do small gigs for family/friends to make ends meet. & I’m so proud of that. I can say that I’m changing the world and paying folks dividends to live their lives.

Hard work. That’s it.
