Anywhere I am planted I will flourish. Locally or internationally I will flourish. I am doing great things at home and abroad.

i hope,
you learn to stop minimizing your magic to make people feel more comfortable. i hope you drop the habit of dimming light on your talents in the name of humility. i hope you surround yourself in spaces that want you to ascend and you become that space for yourself too.

High performers are impatient people by nature - it fuels a sense of urgency & push. They want results yesterday.
But that impatience in the short term fuels results that create long-term goals.
You'll never meet someone more prone to frustration than a high performing person.

That’s a wrap on #AWNewYork! Shoutout to @BukkyOjeifo for an awesome fireside chat on #TwitterVoices: “We sought to build relationships with historically marginalized communities. It’s our responsibility to make sure we recognize and amplify their contributions to the platform” – at Manhattan, NY

We talk a lot about how environment shapes us, but so do achievements.
The more you see yourself win or accomplish, the more you believe you're capable of. It's a flywheel.
The reverse is also true, with stagnation.
Be careful the cycles you're building into your life.

I had a convo w an 12 year old who said she doesn’t like ARTISTS, she only likes specific SONGS. While this is anecdotal, and maybe she’ll change her mind, I think it’s important to consider how tiktok disembodies songs. songs (not artists) are gaining followings. Content>creator

My 10yo has been practicing Korean on Duolingo all weekend and I didn’t know why. Today I found out it’s because there’s a new kid in her class who only speaks Korean and she wants to make him feel at home. 🥺
