In 2008 Jay Z wrote a song that I truly believe is my theme song, my walking music, and the song that has defined my professional career. He hit the mic with the words “I’m a hustler and I just want you to know … it’s not where I’ve been … it’s where I’m about to go.” Let me tell you something. I loved that song and to this day, I can sing it word for word. It is my anthem for business.

I am a recent college graduate, and I thought life would be rainbows, champagne every night, and money would never be an issue; boy, was I wrong. Why did no one tell me that once you graduate, you have to pay bills all by yourself!?

“I miss my friend, but I’m thankful for the memories he left me”

Today is World AIDS Day. Forty years is too long for an epidemic to last. Let’s join together and vision a world where a cure is found, and AIDS is no more. We deserve this.
