“It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.”
— Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays

On May 17, 2026, I officially became a Morehouse Man. The goal and the journey were personal. I endured because I owed it to myself. Beyond that, I owed it to those who believed in me. I owed it to those who came before me and who made the sacrifices and investments which made it all possible. I also owed it to those who look up to me. Thank you all for the support.

On one hand, this marks the completion of a goal that I set years ago. There were many roadblocks, setbacks, detours, and delays, but I was determined to finish what I started. On the other hand, this is merely a continuation of a chosen path meant to build something greater. It is an ongoing journey of growth, leadership development, self-discovery, building and cultivating community, and empowering the next generation of leaders. It is bigger than me.

This was an awesome way to celebrate Black Music Month and my birth month because the celebration is still going! Much respect to Dyana Williams. It was a pleasure meeting her as well. She's such a pioneer.

"The finish line is for the ego. The journey is for the soul."

It has been quite a remarkable journey. I have reached this point through determination, resilience, perseverance, and committing to do the work. Thank God, thank you to my support system & pillars of strength, thank you Dear Old Morehouse, and thank you to my Morehouse brothers. This experience has further stretched and strengthened me, and I am grateful for the defining moments along my personal path of growth and development.

I had to pick myself up deliberately. I had to close the chapter of unfinished business and start a new chapter. I had to forgive past versions of myself. Transparently, I had written another long post about disappointment, guilt, shame, depression, etc. I release that today. I choose to live in the present day, walk my own path, celebrate my accomplishments, and continue pressing forward. by @the.marco.dc
