Man I tell you. When I sit and think I can’t help but to thank. I remember just a short time ago my baby was being flown to Children’s in Atlanta with all kinds of uncertainty. He was a passenger then. Who knew that he would soon be the pilot!!!!!

Can’t nobody tell me bout God!

If you would like to contribute to his journey feel free to do so. Every dime counts. It’s us asking today but it may be you tomorrow. Can we count on your contribution to help us?

Thank you for believing in Christion and believing in our family.

Thank you for the many of you that have Cash App and Zelle. We appreciate you.

Many of you have followed Christion’s journey, from fighting for his life during a 30-day hospitalization to graduating high school, earning a track scholarship, and now pursuing his lifelong dream of becoming an airline pilot, while earning a degree in cybersecurity.

Flight training is expensive, but we refuse to let finances be the reason he can’t continue chasing the dream God placed in his heart.

If you’ve ever supported our family, prayed for us, or celebrated with us, we’re asking if you would consider supporting Christion’s aviation journey today.

No gift is too small. If you’re unable to give, sharing this post and praying for him means just as much.

Together, we can help launch the next chapter of his dream.

Thank you for believing in Christion and believing in our family.

This year I experienced @essencefest differently than I did last year— I did it BIG! I played small for too long not realizing that the only person it was hurting was myself and my desire to live in my purpose. While I’m stepping into year 8 as a non-profit co-founder that has raised nearly $1M in donations, grants and sponsorships, impacting the lives of thousands of HBCU students across the country, it wasn’t until 5 months after I got laid off in March 2025 that I understood how far I could go betting on myself.

In July 2025 during #EssenceFest, I made my first TikTok publicly discussing being laid off. As @xceleader’s co-founder, I was invited as a guest to the @globalblackeconomicforum’s Business Summit along with other founders, business executives, philanthropists, elected officials and others on the @essence 2025 Black Futures List. I was intimidated and felt like I didn’t belong, especially as one of the youngest people in the room. I’ve just always introduced myself as an employee at whatever company/org I was working with at the time or simply just working the event. I’ve allowed too many people to believe that Xceleader is just a passion project that two HBCU alums created to give back— we’re a fully functional organization and we’re doing the work. Being laid off forced me to be uncomfortable in rooms that I’ve always avoided.

ESSENCE Fest 2026 was special. I existed as a co-founder with an activation (and staff), press support for #GBEF (thanks to my friend @mfranklin628 for believing in me), journalist (interviewed @corybooker and @alexislbooker), invited talent because I’m also a content creator and a son. It was great having my mom with me — I think she finally understands all that I do now.

Thank you to my @votehbcu students who continue to say yes to this work. You all did amazing! To my dear friend and sister @kaayalexx, I would not have been able to manage any of this without you. Thank you for holding it down. Thank you to my friend @striceyyyy and @sweetthangsnola for partnering with us. And, lastly, THANK YOU TO @theonyximpact FOR HELPING TO MAKE VOTE HBCU NEW ORLEANS HAPPEN!!!!!

LOVE YALL!!!!! THINK BIG!!!! #EFOC

I have so many memories with this kid here and we are going to ride until the wheels off. I actually told @831visionmedia she was going to conceive him. I have watched this boy grow into a young man. I am so proud of his accomplishments, his tenacity, and unwavering faith in God. I told my sister today, my relationship with @christion_hughes means more to me than he will ever know. I already text him but I wanted to publicly celebrate his graduation from High School yesterday. I met some of his classmates parents and leaders from Ringold a few months ago in Columbus, GA. They spoke so highly of him and it really made my day. I love you nephew! #ToTheMoon

A week ago, @blckivory_media had the pleasure of providing PR services for @butter.atl and Creatives of Color Weekend 2026. From State Farm to the Fox Theatre, @mrsuperbran curated an incredible 3-day experience that not only educated, but celebrated creators who continue to make major contributions to the creative industry through their talent, innovation, and artistry.

I also had the opportunity to work alongside @livefromqua and her amazing team throughout the weekend on event execution, while collaborating with her to curate an impactful Day 3 panel at the Fox Theatre featuring our girls @hotpeeznbutta, @iamdanicanada, and the man himself @d_ricks.

Huge shoutout to @mrsuperbran for bringing me onto this project and allowing me to showcase my talents in the event programming space. He truly embodies what it means to give back—not just to Atlanta, but to the creative and tech communities as a whole.

If you missed this year’s events, make sure you’re following @butter.atl and visit creativesofcolor.com to stay tapped in for upcoming events, opportunities, and everything #CreativesofColor has in store next.

Atlanta showed up and showed out.

In a city rooted in legacy, culture, and Black excellence — we had the honor of capturing a room filled with intention.

No surface conversations.
No small thinking.
Just powerful women who understand influence, stewardship, and what it truly means to build something that lasts.

Grateful to document every moment, every connection, every insight, every exchange that mattered.

The Private Plug Table™ — Atlanta.

Proud that the @ChampionDreams Team was able to bring this experience to life through our lens. 🎥🏆

Playmaker is what they call her, decided to stop playing small.

She put SharpHouse in order. She tightened the structure. She locked in.

And now? The results are showing.

When you take your own business as seriously as you take everybody else’s, everything shifts.

God rewards faithfulness.

Keep your hand to the plow, baby girl. I’m proud of you beyond words.

I will always be your biggest cheerleader!

As we step into March, I want to give a major shoutout to Women’s History Month. 💐

To all the boss women out here making a way for yourselves and paving the path for the next generation, I see you. You’ve opened doors, built tables, and created your own lane. It’s truly a pleasure to work alongside so many powerful, visionary women.

Fellas… we gotta step it up. They’ve got a whole month. We’ve got Father’s Day. 😂 Time to elevate, lead stronger, and move with purpose.

Respect where it’s due. Let’s all keep building.
