I take God beg you…

Girl please get your shit together. “I take God beg you” is Yuroba Creole. The Creole I grew up with is “ I de beg you pan you foot” (I’m begging you at your feet) we beg. Annetta Mother Smith you need to go save the world. But you can only do that when you have saved yourself. Time is running out. Be the first in the space be an innovator. Be an entrepreneur. Be all the things people smugly held over you. “Captains of industry” Jason? Almost a decade after that comment was made. It didn’t land well nor did it age well. I need to keep promises to myself. I want this business to be 10 million in 7 years. Authentically. Hugely important to do it better than what I saw. Building made hard men not good men who fundamentally believe in their own  Righteousness. Only God is righteous and I plan not to inhabit the same space as them. But like the pied piper my black kids come with me. By the time I get good  the people who concern me will have left. Doesn’t matter. It isn’t personal. Nothing really will change unless I make it so. I have often joked that my purpose is not to have anyone else suffer like me. So this is 100% my purpose. Getting my own specific demographic to not suffer. Power. Purpose. Passion. The only 3 P’s that matter. I want to lend my power to those who aren’t yet able to speak for themselves , it’s not just my purpose but my passion. Pretty please God. Give me the strength to carry this out.

Give me…

Grace and Courage
