I went for a coffee with my 16-year-old self.

He got there right on time.
I was already there five minutes early.

He ordered something sweet.
I ordered a black coffee.

He asked me if we ever made it out...if we ever got to see the world.

I told him we still have places to go, but we've already lived moments he once only dreamed about.

He told me he's scared of not being enough.

I looked at him and said,
"You always were."

He told me he wants to do something great with his life. He just doesn't know where to start.

I told him he already started.

Every hard day, every setback, every brave decision... it's all building the person he's becoming.

Then he asked if we should split the bill.

I laughed and told him,

"Don't worry, bro...I got this one."

30 today!

Grateful for the journey, the lessons, and everyone who has been part of it. The best chapters are still ahead. taken in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania by @hajjay_17

We didn't come from places where wealth was handed down, but we did inherit strength, grit, and a fire 🔥 that wont be extinguished.
Our path isn't driven by the desire for luxury; it's driven by
the need for legacy.
We don't hustle to stand above anyone; we hustle to make sure our family stands strong.
The battles we fight are not to prove ourselves,but to ensure our children won't have to fight them again. Like our parents did for us in the best way possible.
Now it's our turn 🎯 taken in Mwanza, Tanzania by @hajjay_17

Life humbles you. As you grow old, you stop chasing the big things and start valuing the little things.
Alone time, enough sleep, a good diet, long walks, and quality time with loved ones.
Simplicity becomes the ultimate goal.

On the days you feel lost,
may you remember why you began.
You’ve come so far—so give yourself your flowers.

Be kind, be bold, and dare to dream wildly.

Here’s to the final lap of your twenties ✨ taken in Mwanza, Tanzania by @hajjay_17

A Letter to me
Hey I'm proud of you, I can't state that enough. You've come a long way for yourself, it's not been easy but you always try to be better, you've never settled for less and that's something I will always thank God for.
Happy birthday to you! taken in Mwanza, Tanzania by @hajjay_17

Yesterday, we were missing freedom.
Today, we miss love. I'm afraid of tomorrow for we
