My Birthday Gift to You: Permission to Break The Rules

Today's different.

Not just because it's my birthday (which I share with Bob Marley), but because I'm about to give you something I wish someone had given me years ago: Permission to stop shrinking.

You know that feeling? When you're sitting in another "professional development" meeting, watching everyone nod along to advice that wasn't written for people like us? When you're being told to "tone it down" or "be more corporate" or my personal favorite - "try to fit in more"?

Yeah. That ends today.

Because I just dropped the first episode of "Let's Get Real" and baby, we're about to flip the whole script on what success looks like.

Here's what I know for sure: That thing they told you was "too much"? That's your superpower. That voice they said was "too loud"? That's your money maker. That story they said would hold you back? That's your ticket to freedom.

I learned this the hard way. As a light-skinned kid with a single mom, I never fit anywhere perfectly. Too black for one crowd, too white for another. But here's the plot twist - that exact thing that made me uncomfortable? Built me a multi-million dollar modern family office.

And now? I'm sharing everything.

But this isn't just about money. My birthday wish this year runs deeper.

I wish for us to:

• Stop watching silently while our communities suffer

• Start building wealth that lifts everyone up

• Find the courage to ask for help with our finances

• Stand up and take up ALL our space

Because here's the truth: You can't build an empire alone. And you shouldn't have to.

Every week, I'm dropping 10 minutes of pure, unfiltered truth about what it really takes to build wealth when you don't fit the traditional mold. No corporate jargon. No recycled advice. Just real strategies for turning your differences into dollars.

This first episode? It's my birthday gift to you. Watch it. Share it. Use it as your permission slip to stop playing by rules that were never written for us in the first place.

Because we're not just building businesses anymore. We're not just creating wealth. We're starting a revolution.

And baby... different is about to hit different.
