In the words of the great philosopher @bengleib “There is nothing like a reunion with mostly people you’ve never met” (Word to the fanny packs) I’ve written enough long captions for one week and I don’t want to write them as much as you don’t want to read them sooooooo: Thank you again eSCo, Cas, Shir, Mellissa 🙏🏽, & the whole team.

It is often said that due to the genetic PTSD that comes along with being born black in America, we are unable to enjoy and encourage each other’s successes. The most common (and misinterpreted) allegory is “crabs in a barrel” which is where crabs step on each other while trying to escape the barrel; pulling down any crab who makes progress towards the opening. It isn’t until you do make it out that you realize 3 things: 1. A barrel isn’t a crab’s natural habitat so you must have been placed there...🤔 2. You were never actually a crab 🦀 3. There never was a barrel Don’t blame people for their perspective when they’ve never been outside the “barrel”. ...and this is completely off topic so these hashtags aren’t gonna make much sense but ⬇️ #GrammyWeek #GrammyFamily #grammys2018 #TheWorldsUnderNewManagement #OutRunTheCompetition (at 60th Annual Grammy Awards 2018)

In Japan, the tiger is a companion pet that represents zen. The tiger also relates to the practice of Inemuri; appearing to be in a stage of sleep while actually being wide awake. They call it a “sunlit nap”. Watching everything while you appear to see nothi...well, yeah you get the point. #GrammyWeek #GrammyFamily #grammys2018 #TheWorldsUnderNewManagement #OutRunTheCompetition (at Grammy Awards: The 60th Annual Grammy Awards)

If you’ve been following my stories you’ve seen that all week I’ve been at @theroots Jam Sessions powered by @citibank Sound Vault. 4 Days. Over 20 guests performers. Amazing shows backed by the best band in the land that just so happens to be from Philly... Go figure. Something in those cheesesteaks. #GrammyWeek #GrammyFamily #grammys2018 #TheWorldIsUnderNewManagement #OutRunTheCompetition (at The Gramercy Theatre)

Recently I’ve been featured on a few of the dope segments I’ve been able to work on with @fox29philly My favorites feature my @lambertlegacycharities community farm in West Philadelphia with my princess. Maybe some of you remember about a year ago when I was giving @iambrandondonte a tour of #NeighborhoodFoodsFarm but this is a more in depth look at what we’re doing. The other segments feature @sportymarketing client @_ashleymfox speaking about her trip to @nyse w/the @empify students, financial tips for women and a fatherhood segment with @isaiahthomas4philly & @jbergesq before the #MillionFatherMarch which took place at schools across the nation. #TheWorldIsUnderNewManagement #OutRunTheCompetition (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

Last week I presented a class from my L.I.F.E. Program curriculum on social media strategy for nonprofits which was sponsored by The Urban Affairs Coalition @uacoalition #CoalitionU I spoke about the direct connection between networking and social networking. People are so disconnected on social media because it’s like a popularity contest but the key to successfully growing your network is engagement. If you missed it you can view the rebroadcast at http://SportyMarketing.com/blog/coalitionu “No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don’t ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives” #TheWorldIsUnderNewManagement #ItsGonBeAn͓̽i͓̽c͓̽e͓̽Year #OutRunTheCompetition (at Sporty Marketing Group)
