People confuse generational wealth with community outcomes so often. There's a big difference between creating a "Black Bezos" and moving entire zip codes of Black and Brown people out of poverty.

Someone told me something the other day and I can't get it out of my head. She said, "Some people have never seen excellence before so when they do, they are confused by it and try to break it down into something that they can understand." Mediocrity is also a lens, y'all.

I actually clicked the link and read this so it makes sense to me. I dig it. The wildest thing about politics and campaigning is that all voters think all plans need to directly benefit them. Some plans - like her housing plan - aren't for everybody. That's just how it works. 🤷🏾♂️
Yesterday I announced that, as president, I’ll establish a student loan debt forgiveness program for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities.

Random: I bought my son $RBLX and told him about it and how it works - that he now owns part of a company. Now whenever he talks about it, he says "My company." He's watching YouTube Kids and says, "My company has a new video out, Daddy." 🥺 I love that for him.

If you're leading a company that has an *unlimited vacation* policy, it is your responsibility to encourage your team to take time off if you find that they aren't. We're all dealing with a lot right now and many employees may not feel comfortable requesting time off.

Investing in Black people and People of Color is the largest opportunity in the country yet a lot of investors still think they're "impact investing" or doing charity when they occasionally invest in these Founders.

A friend and founder that I respect immensely announced that she was shutting down her startup this weekend. As a customer, it sucked because there truly isn't a competitor offering what they were but as a fellow founder, it was a gut punch that rippled through our community.

Parenting during all of this is for the birds. Straight up. You take the iPad away to punish them, you punish yourself. You tell them that if they won't eat dinner they can go straight to bed, they wake up in the middle of the night for applesauce.

Today was hard. Aside from the day-to-day stuff that a CEO has to deal with, it was emotionally draining. Do things that matter with people that you love, folks. That's the message that I received. Life is too short to do things that don't matter with people you don't like. ❤️

A note for the folks who will post "don't make this about you" to people sharing memories, feelings, & thoughts - that's not how this works. When someone dies, IT IS about you and every other person that their life touched. That's the point. Let people mourn/celebrate. 🖤
