Success and striving with mentors


Success looks like courage, courage through the chaos in life. When your young there are days when life will throw you many challenges, often times as a young person we feel let down by others, there's a way we assume our life to be ,especially upon graduating university, or leaving high school. We are so electric with the promise of life's potential, 


Keeping your confidence
Trusting yourself
Believing throughout the rejections, throughout the no's that you can find a yes. That you can find an opportunity that will give you access, that you can somehow be so much better than the self you began with. We begin with a self, we begin with a self that is rough and jagged, eager to accomplish so much , eager to be a self we proclaim inside our heads, eager to be a version of ourselves that we see. A self that is triumphant.



Sometimes we are held back by fear mongers, the fear and the failure of others, their experiences, and their trials that have broken them down. Yet why do we keep trying, why do we keep going, because we see something, that flicker of hope that light, that bright spark, shining in the distance. As we try and we try, we get closer and closer, each opportunity a brilliant light to explore new roads , new memories, and show that we have hope in a future that will exist once we take the action and apply ourselves. Sometimes the fear will get you. Sometimes others words will jump inside your head like fleas , you will feel trapped at times, you will have a dear of suffocation, the fear of being left behind, that everyone has left you and then you will see it, you will find it that hope,that faith,that light, you will find it near.

spearheading super change







We are often told with fear that possibility is beyond our reach. We hear voices chime into our eardrums,leading our defeat, hoping that we are less than what we are. For all the change agents, visionaries, leaders, and hopefuls, the mind needs a wealth of food to empower itself. It is important to cultivate a conversation with the mind, to shape your future, you must develop a path of access for yourself and those who tread after you. We walk, a path littered with obstacles, it is a narrow road, skittered with objects, eager to challenge social fugitives that escape the trademark of a standard norm. We are elevating ourselves beyond the ordinary,evolving to what's extraordinary, connecting to a self that is illuminated and transcends both pain and small definition. You are more than the minuscule conversations of yester year, greater than fear, other people's put downs, ridicules, laughter, humiliation, because to make an impact, to create change you must tap into your infinite self.
This is beyond the simplicity of your needs, you are changing the perspective of others. Heightening their ambitions and bringing them further in the realm of possibilities. It was a dream, then it became a vision, now you must tread it, now you must March it, now you must glorify your own independence, by celebrating the power of your mind. The mind is the most powerful tool we have at our disposal, it helps us become instigators of great social change, manoeuvre, and negotiate, our way to our own financial freedom. We walk in the paths of change agents that came before us, shifting, dancing through time.

How to be black?







My number one rule for being black? Black people are not just colours, and loud over zealous stereotypes off tv. The Ghetto stereootypes. I think on some level as much as society say they despise it, it's consistently fed unto tv screens, movie, film, theatre. The theory is automatically if your black your automatically good at dancing athletics, and use words that rhyme or need translating. I want people to understand that black people are diverse individuals, there are different types of black people as there are different types of people in every race and every community.

Growing up i was a bag of tricks. I could use all the slang, all the hip lingo, hung out in all the cool places, yet when asked a question, people often stood there dazed and almost bewildered by my answers. "Huh? What did you just say?" Especially black people. I'd get "wow you don't sound like a black person." Someone till this day said the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.They said, "You don't sound like a black person, you sound really smart...." ...AND THEY WERE BLACK.The stereotypes and assumptions didn't end there. I have a hint of a swagger when i walk, i call it the tomboy gusto. I've always been tomboyish i think i was that way pobably in the womb. I'm so polite when people speak to me, they often do a double take. "Wow i thought you'd be really rude, like really fiery." I understand the concept of being a strong woman full stop, because that is what i strive for constantly.Sadly i understand there are some deluded individuals that take this too far.


 I have my own personal nickname for women like this, and their not just in the black community, they are in every race, and every culture. I call them 'ROADIES.'These are an audience of women,that hang around waiting, craving, and lapping up attention. What usually happens is they get the attention they want, which is a good thing, as nobody really likes to be ignored. Anyway.Once they get the attention, they act nasty with it, rude, mean, degrade the person whose just worked up the courage to approach them, then go back to their friends and talk about their bad experiences with guys. Yet every guy whose worked up the courage to approach them, gets not rejected. Cruelly shut down, it's more than obvious their acting this way only because they have an audience. Yet i seem to have lost my sympathy for quite a few men, as they strategically, constantly seek out women, who act this way to stroke their ego and tell themselves they like a challenge.One of my guy friends explained this to me, i was so baffled i think i sat there with my mouth open for the rest of the time. "Chase, Phuck, leave....their too much drama." What a way to sell it
