11 DAYS AWAY!
In just 12 days, my memoir, THE TIKI FACTOR: Four Key Principles to Turn Your Losses Into Wins, will be released to the world.

This story chronicles my journey from a boy facing obstacles most people could never imagine to a man who found a way forward through grit, determination, faith, and God’s grace.

If you’re dealing with something in your life that feels impossible to overcome, this book is for you.
The Tiki Factor isn’t just a story meant to inspire your heart—it gives you four practical principles you can apply to your own life to help turn your losses into wins.

My question is simple:
Have you got your copy yet?

Preorder The Tiki Factor today on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Audible.

October 20, 2026. The Tiki Factor is coming.

Community… that is what I always seek to connect my clients with, and once again I am blessed with an incredible client, @tikifactor Tiki Davis.

Tiki's journey is one of resilience, strength, and courage. He stands with us today because of his unshakable faith and his determination not to allow his past to define his future.

I am once again honored to collaborate with my brothers of the @queenslisigmas and @york_sigmas chapters of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated (Queens), as well as Friendship Baptist Church in Harlem, as we welcome Tiki to share his knowledge and wisdom through his book, The Tiki Factor: 4 Key Principles to Turn Your Losses into Wins.

If you have a young adult, student, or mentee in your life, the best gift you can give them is a ticket to this event. I am calling on my D9, Masonic, and church family to answer this call to action.

Ticket links are in the comments. Hope to see you there!

Please join Women's Media Group for an informative conversation around AI and its role in journalism by WMG member @yelenadzhanova today at noon! Link to register is in the comments.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how journalists report, write, investigate, and engage with audiences, but questions remain about accuracy, transparency, and ethics. This interactive seminar explores how journalists and media creators can incorporate AI into their work while maintaining the core values of the profession. Participants will learn practical ways AI can support reporting, discuss the ethical challenges surrounding its use, and examine where human judgment remains indispensable. Through demonstrations, case studies, and group discussion, attendees will leave with practical strategies for using AI responsibly in their own. by @riverchildmedia

It's been 17 years since I heard your voice, your laugh and felt your touch. My world turned upside down at 6:40 am on October 1, 2009. I lost my biggest supporter, my beacon, my light...As I navigate these challenging moments, I can hear and feel you, cheering me on, motivating me to KEEP MOVING FORWARD and that greatness is inevitable because of who I am and WHOSE I AM. Thank you for never giving up on me, always reminding me that delay is not denial and that all is as it should be as long as I let God, not man, lead. I am doing exactly that, mommy. And as for the smoke that comes for those who come for me??? Well, that's on God, too. 🤣🤣🤣. I know you will always have my back and will protect me always. I hope you are having a cup of coffee, sitting on that rocking chair and smiling, saying, "that's my baby!" Continue to sleep in peace knowing, I will continue to make you proud. Much love, Na. by @riverchildmedia
