What the hell is Discord? and Why should I join yours?
My exact thoughts when I received my first discord invite for a cryptocurrency community peddling NFTs. I know a lot of you, like me, have this same thought when I’m promoting joining the G.O.O.N.S. Discord. But essentially its a community like twitter is a social media community, Discord is like a more focused twitter community If I had to explain it in layman’s terms. A focus group of some sort that gathers people who have the same interest. Most are used to promote an NFT collection, Most have connections to Crypto, NFT’s, and different groups of people all over the world communicating together about a specific subject matter. The community usually dictates the direction of the product, or NFT collection. Members-only vibes if you will…

Would You Just Accept it If we Murdered your Children?
This weekend the entire world has erupted in Protest against the egregious acts of not only our Law enforcement, but our President, and Racism as a whole. I spent it walking the walk and talking the talk with my people in protest and documenting everything in our nations capital, Washington DC . The media will try to portray this as anarchy and mayhem, which it was, but there was a lot of love and compassion for those being wronged and standing up for themselves in a system that has continuously held them under a bending knee. The feeling of togetherness, family, and raw emotion from so many different creeds of people at one time was a vibe you could never create and Im proud of every single person that came out and continues to cry out for the rights and just treatment of all people but specifically Black people in America. We built this country and most certainly can tear it down! Im still rooting for whoever looting! they side eye us when we come in their stores, refuse to hire us, won’t stand with us and use the stores as a shelter for aiding protesters, but Im supposed to put a business with insurance for these type of things priority over human life? NAH. Take this L America and do right by the people who fuel this country or watch it burn, fuck it Im riding wit mines…
What you do it for?
Last week I donated some shirts to the homie Ralph and his #ToddlerBall kids!
Being Present
Yesterday I had the privilege of being on a Black Entrepreneur Panel for the kids at Potomac Job Corps for Black History Month! It is always a pleasure to share my story in business and inspiring the youth to pursue their dreams and aspirations.
Consistency!
My biggest focus right now is staying consistent. Choosing to do the same routine and building a lifestyle around working hard for my goals and business. This past month has been nothing but consistency!
3rd Annual Zelf on the Shelf!
Extremely proud of my cuzzo Azel Prather Jr., he’s hosting his third annual “Zelf on a Shelf” this Friday along with a self care day for his KIPP students where Barbers, Beauticians, and nail techs are coming into the school to give the kids makeovers for christmas! Last year he raised enough money through social media to get gifts for 340 students at his school. Surpassing the 26 kids he actually teaches. Zel was also featured on channel 9 News this passed weekend giving him even more of a spotlight for his The Prather Foundation and what he does everyday for those kids.
