Be booked and busy enough that you’re not worried about who is leaving you out of the picture.
Focus on creating your own image that you have creative control over.
I don’t believe in splitting the bill equally if one persons meal costs £70 and yours costed £30, drop me out. The wealth gap is not a joke and I’m not here for 50/50 splits when the ratio is so unbalanced.
Argue with your mum if you like. I have a degree in maths and finance.
My Dentist is black.
My Financial Advisor is black.
My Dermatologist is black.
My Therapist is black.
Even if we are 3% of the UK population, I’m going to try to ensure my money goes back to my community.
Say what you want about the corporate world but it teaches you the consequences of:
- Being late

- Poor performance
So many creatives should do a small stint in the corporate environment to learn real professionalism
A lot of our parents came here and worked tirelessly to get us to the life we have now.
If that’s not a reason to get up and make it, I don’t know what is.
Repeat after me:
I haven’t done everything I was supposed to do today but that doesn’t make me a failure.
I’m only human and great things take time. Give it to God and go to bed.
I just learned that Phil Knight (co-founder of Nike) worked at Price Waterhouse as an Accountant whilst setting his own company on the side.

Something to think about 💭
If you see me:
- Liking your pictures
- Commenting under them
- Using your hashtag
- Sharing your content
It’s cause I wanna see you win. All engagement is transferable into funds if you do it properly
I’m HPV negative 🥳
Two years ago I did a cervical screening that came back with abnormal cells and I spent a lot of time back and forth in hospital.
Don’t take your health for granted, get check ups and don’t avoid the doctors ❤️
If you’re making changes, whether that’s spiritually, financially, physically, etc, you’ve got to give yourself more than one day/week/month to see progress. Don’t be measuring your success by others either. What’s for you isn’t missing you

You're doing better than you realise.
London is not the place for relatives to come and stay then expect everyone to stop working and give you a tour.
This is grind city baby 😂 London don’t stop and neither do we
Lateness is a HUGE disrespect to everyone.
- Those who paid to come and see you who have to figure out how they’re going to get home on a Sunday night
- The staff who have to wait for you and they go home later
- People who work for TfL and all connected travel staff
Good cash flow. Emergency fund full. Investing regularly. Pension looking healthy. Assets growing. Credit score on great. Holidaying 4x a year at a minimum. Disposable income for my desires.
It’s 2022 and people are still just finding out that if you put £4K in a lifetime ISA the government will put in a bonus of £1k (25% of what you put in) on your behalf.
Exhausted of seeing what’s going on and just tweeting and reposting.
What a helpless feeling whilst our brothers and sisters are dying senselessly in Nigeria.
