My running journey hasn’t been an easy one but I’ve enjoyed every minute of it! From quitting my job in 2018 to focus fully on the gift that I was blessed to create (Keep It Run Hundred), it has now landed me the opportunity to run a marathon on the worlds biggest stage at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France!🇫🇷 🌎It’s a great opportunity and I am extremely excited to race along side 20,000 other amazing runners! Buuuuuut the best part of this whole situation is being able to give the four people who mean more to me than anything in the world the amazing opportunity to tag along for the experience! My mom, my sister, my niece and my daughter are my whole heart 💙 and making them happy is by far by biggest flex! 💪🏾I LOVE YALL!#NiggasInParisMy race is Saturday August 10th at 9pm Paris time which is about noon LA time. I’ll drop the link to where you can track me in the comments and also in my IG story. (As yall see the bib # is attached) And before you ask 🗣️ I don’t know if it’ll be televised by @barack_obutta

Over the past few months, we’ve had powerful conversations with our partners about why collaborating on programming with SCC and what it means to have weekly public programs like ours in South Central. This is SCC from the Keep it Run Hundred POV. by @barack_obutta

How it started & How it’s goingThank you all for 8 incredible years of continuous support. What started as a simple idea has grown into a powerful community because of each and every one of you. Your energy, your presence, and your belief in the vision have helped turn this into something bigger than we ever imagined.Through every run, every walk, every conversation, and every moment of connection you’ve helped build something real.We’re grateful for the memories we’ve created, the lives we’ve touched, and the community we continue to grow together.Here’s to 8 years strong… and many more miles ahead.🗣️1,2,3…Family by @barack_obutta

Dear Little Butta, You’re going to spend a lot of time thinking you have to prove yourself to the world…naw pimp prove your worth, your strength, and that you belong in every room you walk into. But the people who are meant to see your value will see it without you exhausting yourself trying to convince them.Not everything that breaks your heart is meant to destroy you. Some moments will shape you, humble you, and grow you in ways you never expected. The pain, the disappointments, and the times you feel overlooked are all sharpening something inside of you.Real strength isn’t just pushing through everything. Sometimes it’s slowing down, listening, being vulnerable, and realizing you don’t have to carry every weight alone.One day you’ll realize the life you were stressing about building piece by piece… was actually building you the whole time.BE GREAT KID! *And you’ll always keep some heat on your feet* 👟 💅🏾 lol by @barack_obutta
