There are certain code of principles I live by. What are your code of principles?

The way you carry yourself and the energy you project to the world play a major part in your success.

Alhamdulillah. 🙏🏾

Everyone has vices; mine is investing.

I'm tolerant of others' views and opinions, but I'm not tolerant of sh!t.

Hurts and offenses usher loyal people down the road of disloyalty.

Patience is an asset.

This year, make sure your negative perspective isn’t the first approach.

They may call you all sorts of names this 2026, but make sure ‘hustler’ is one of them.”

For those who faced adversity and agony this year, my advice would be to take things one step at a time. It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed but remember that you're stronger than you think. Take care of yourself, both physically and mentally.

My prayers and wishes for those who have gone through adversities and agony this year are for healing, strength, and resilience. I pray that they find comfort in the support of loved ones and the power of their own inner strength.

Well wishes to those who have achieved success this year. My wish for them is to continue to thrive and find fulfillment in their accomplishments. May their success bring them happiness, fulfillment, and the ability to make a positive impact on the world. Keep shining. 💪🏾

What have you learned this year that really stuck with you?

I think about Death sometimes, do you? 🥺

There were many books I regretted powering through this year and far fewer I regretted quitting. It made me realize that life is too short to tolerate bad writing or bad anything, really. From now on, if a book doesn’t engage me, I won’t force myself to finish it. No more powering through mediocrity

Hit me with one harsh truth you've accepted so far as a man/woman.

I'm going to be honest, I have a bag of tricks and if any of you check my bag of tricks, you'll find a lot of things: a substance that solidifies friendships, a wizardry that wins minds, and a magic that makes people fall in love with me.

I had this belief that if I achieved X, I’d be happy. If I looked like Y, I’d be happy. And if I could be with a person like Z, I’d be happy… But this worldview was far-fetched! Happiness is not a solvable equation.

Life will not always be roses and unicorns. Dissatisfaction and unease are inherent parts of human nature. Be resilient.

I work incredibly hard because I don’t have a choice right now — but my children will. I’m determined to create that future for them.

"You’re not obliged to respect me—but you are obliged not to disrespect me. How you manage that is entirely your problem."

I had a convo with my friend who had just started a business, and he spent the entire time lamenting about how hard it is. I agree with him—business is hard. But what he hasn't realized yet is that being broke isn't easy either, and working for a shitty boss isn't easy as well.

If you are reading this now, thank you for being connected with me. You matter to me. You educate and inspire me to be better. I appreciate you. And I will work hard to add value for you.❤️

Out of curiosity, I once asked my colleague, “Why do you gamble?” He replied, “Buying a Dox bet ticket is the only time I can hold a tangible dream 😭, and a chance to get the good things you already have and probably take for granted…

I meditate on my mortality some days when I wake up. I imagine that this is the last day I get to live on this Earth, cause one day it will be, and that day could be today. It helps bring clarity about what matters. Life is beautiful and I won't ever take it for granted. Love ya 🫶🏾

Why do you work so hard?

One of my all-time favorite quotes comes from Mae West: “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”

"In the intricate game of life, I liken myself to a chessboard, where my faith reigns supreme as the queen, my fortitude acts as the rooks, and my fear humbly plays the role of a pawn." Loyalty Fahnbulleh

I'm not a confrontational person, but I'll not fold my arms and watch anyone tell lies about me or stain my white.

Oh my God! The Nobel Peace team didn’t give the award to Mr. Infallible (Trump). But it’s kind of scary — there are always consequences when he doesn’t get his way. 😂
