Yo! STOP IGNORING THE PROCESS! It's like the biggest disservice to ourselves and our visions when we ignore the process. Get into the beautiful feeling (process) of creating and carrying a child. Think about how proud those parents are. Be like that! The process of our success is beautiful! At least from I've learned so far.

It's Thursday and I can't stop thinking about the advice that my girl Ta'Rhonda Jones gave us about never giving up. You're going to like the way this one tastes and if you don't, then good because you probably needed to hear it. Understand that we are going to struggle before we shine, that's life. Pay the dues, buss them suds, work like hell and let's reach our destiny!

Jones is an actress and artist on Empire, currently in its fifth season (Wooooo Go girl! So proud, mama!) Thanks Rhonda! Thank you to Radio One and HOT 96.3 in Indianapolis.

This episode is dedicated to a dear friend from Buffalo who also gave me similar advice. Rest In Power "Black Doug".

Had a great weekend in Baltimore, MD for the BE Expo by Radio One. I was asked to moderate a panel on Black Mental Health and although I'm still blown I didn't get video, I did grab the audio. Now, it is bootleg audio so I apologize for that but you should be able to make out a good portion of the clips. If you have any comments, get into it. I'd love to hear your views on the topic for real.

Let's start Season 2 by talking about how I almost didn't make it back to the East Coast because I got super sick. The pilot was all like "I don't know if I can let you fly, bro." Anxiety, man. But, what caused the anxiety is something that I could do better with. Something we all could do better with, for real.

All good things come to an end. It's been a long season but it has been non-stop encouragement and the season finale ends on the same inspirational note.
