Owning a business is hard, mentally frustrating, socially taxing, and can be draining at times - especially when the advantages of racial wealth and prosperity were not dealt to us in the first place. My parents weren’t born with a silver spoon in their mouth. The rich uncle never pulled up. There were a lot of secret investors amongst people of people that I knew, but no one ever invested. Trust me,  I was waiting for one to sweep me up off my feet 💸 - I simply had the will, the desire, the passion, the bootstrapping, the mentality, a concerted effort, razor focus, tenacity, and determination to be the best version of what my ancestors envisioned me to be. ⠀
⠀
I have cried, collapsed in pure exhaustion, looked up how much it would cost to escape to the “Motherland” and hideout 🏃🏾‍♀️💨✈️✌🏾, but I never gave up or truly entertained those low spirited moments; I never lost the love for the hustle or the game. This is me at the depths of my soul. This...this work that I’m doing is what I’m supposed to be doing, my calling.🤎⠀
⠀
Truth is... blackvibetribe fuels me. It acts as an ode to my ancestors, a love letter to my community, and a reclamation of self. It’s a source of upliftment for those who look like me, and a staple in the community that could never be ripped loose from the tightly woven bond of my Tribe.🤞🏾⠀
⠀
I love this. The hustle. The grind. The ups. The downs. The good days. The bad days. The struggle. The success. All of it. It makes me happy. It makes me, ME. 👏🏾👣 Mitch really did say it best.
