So incredibly honored to be named one of @adweek Creative 100 this year. Here’s to pushing boundaries, making impactful work, and never letting the No’s break your confidence. And to celebrate in Cannes? WOW just the icing on the cake.

Humbled to be featured as a 2022 #CCNYCCreativeClass visionary…. Lord know it hasn’t been easy but inspired by my peers and the people coming after to keep going and doing the work. I learned a valuable lesson recently, that sometimes it’s not about the touchdown .. It’s about the first down… The intentional work, when nobody is watching because you want to be better for You! I hope this helps someone who is struggling today.🙏🏿 #CCNYCCreativeClass #visionary #mamaimadeit #bringthoselikesfrommystoriestomyfeed #blackhistorymonth #bhm #pricekeepsgoingup #aquariusszn

A very busy Q2, most of it Miami.

Having influence is one thing. Turning it into real income is another. OOO Connect is not just about inspiration. It is built to give you the playbook. We’re bringing together Charles Kuykendoll, Arinze Emeagwali, Justin Samuels, and Shantel Jackson for “Turning Influence Into Impact and Income.” This is a real conversation about what it takes to build culturally relevant businesses and actually sustain them. Together, they bring experience across media, brand, entrepreneurship, and community-driven platforms, with a focus on building, scaling, and monetizing in real time. You’ll walk away with insight on how to turn cultural relevance into revenue, how to think about partnerships and leverage, and how to build something that lasts beyond the moment. And this panel is just one nugget of the day. Richelieu Dennis and X Eyee will also be dropping gems at the OOO Connect Summit, alongside more sessions designed to help you move from inspiration to execution. Don’t sleep. Get your tickets. If you’re building a brand, platform, or business, you’ll want to be in this room. RSVP now for April 17 in NYC. #OOOConnect #OutOfOffice #CreatorEconomy #BusinessGrowth #CultureAndCommerce

Celebrating my birthday a little differently this year. Grateful for another trip around the sun and even more grateful for the community that rides with me. Family, friends, love always.

2025 was a hell of a year with so many great lessons learned. I am so blessed to walk into 2026 even more focused ready to reap the rewards of all the work and the changes 2025 brought! 1. Family is everything 2. Never let corny people make you do corny things 3. My clap back is always the work and what I do for the community when nobody is watching. 4. Let God Sort them Out and Metro Boomin: a Futuristic Summer are my albums of the year! 5. A little commotion for this jacket.

Year 5 proved the vision. Now it’s time to expand it. Cheers to ending 2025. See you in what’s next. 💥 📸: @krown.media @robscuz
