As many of you know, I lost my paternal grandmother last Thursday to a long and brave battle with Parkinson's disease. She was my first creative muse and one of the safest and most nurturing people in my life as a child. I recorded this video today that is, as usual, being suppressed like crazy due to a dip in my online activity over the past week, as well as the mention of Black History Month and a gathering I'm not paying LinkedIn a cut of. I'd appreciate if you'd go give it a listen and some engagement. All of this said, the webinars are on for this week, February 24-25-26 at 3:30pm Central US/10:30pm Central Europe. If you have not yet registered, you may do so at this link. Replay available for all registered attendees. Contributions over the suggested add seats to our community sponsorship pool. Global Black community members, your seat is on us—please DM me your email address to be registered. For non-Black people experiencing financial difficulty, a limited number of community pool seats are available. Please DM me ASAP to claim one, no questions asked. These webinars will much more off-the-cuff than I'm used to. There won't be a lot of bells and whistles. But I think it's important to still show up for the community and for myself this week. I'd love for you to do the same. See you there. 🤍

Bringing this post over from LinkedIn. If you’d like, please leave it some love as it is being suppressed—as expected. Today, the planet Mars makes what’s called a cazimi with the sun in Capricorn, which is when it passes right through the center point of our grand luminary, beginning a new cycle from our vantage point on earth. Astronomically speaking, it’s literally nothing. We can’t see it from Earth for obvious reasons. Astrologically speaking, combined with Capricorn’s unparalleled discipline, it signals a powerful reset for our planet of action, risk-taking, and resilience. Symbolically… This is where I want you to take notes: It’s time to move with strategy, intention, and courage. This is where this week’s murder by ICE agents in Minnesota comes in. Real talk, It is truly in the best interest of my business to not speak up about the execution of Renee Nicole Good. I am launching a program. LinkedIn hates everything I say. I don’t feel like blocking anyone today. So why am I posting about her anyway? Because justice is and will always be my business. Because accompliceship is and will always be my business. Because when a government crosses the line of demarcation between legality and lawlessness to execute any and all that stands in the way of their own interests, refusing to own this death as a critical error of their spun-out regime, as a wake-up call to the division that a president and secretary of homeland security are fueling with alternative narratives of a clearly-documented, broad-day murder… …We are in big, big, BIG trouble. True social impact can only extend as far as those with power and privilege are willing to reach out in our direction to reciprocate. The sad part is, many privileged people will see this death as a warning, leaving millions of Black and Brown people to continue to fend for ourselves as anti-immigration, anti-Blackness and anti-inclusion sentiments continue to catch fire.

Hey, Changemakers! As so many of you know, I've been hard at work recovering from a very difficult 18 months in business, made even more challenging following the re-election of President Voldemort. I am back in the saddle AND back in learning mode—which means I am being mentored in all the ways, official and unofficial, to help Hola Magnolia and our new R.I.S.E. Changemaker's Academy hit the ground running at the tippy-top of calendar year 2026. My first assignment from my current mentor cohort was to write this post, which I've done first on LinkedIn. I'll pin posts on other platforms below as I get to them. While you're here, also bookmark our rescheduled reconnection call happening on Monday 11/8 at 1pm Central US/8pm Central Europe. Really appreciate you all! Thank you so much! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

If you came to today's AM office hours, you know that I tunneled DEEP into the netherworld of YouTube banners this morning. Getting the hang of the dimensions can be massively annoying, which is why I was avoiding it. However, I am SO proud of how this first iteration turned out. Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@IdentityBelongingCoach! There are tons of old videos here that will be going unlisted soon, so feel free to check them out—but I'm preparing to finally jump off into the deep blue of YouTube and I'm actually... Sort of excited about it. Let me know what you think if the aesthetic, and give me a follow if you're on! Happy Thursday and hope to see you all at the meet & greet today at 1:30 Central US/8:30 Central Europe!
