Welcome to a new week!

Not only is today Taco Tuesday (which we LA-ers love), it’s my 3rd son’s 20th birthday 🥳

20 years ago today, I was 20 and going through it. I just took my second “leave of absence” from USC (which led me to a 0.75 GPA), was in a psychologically abusive relationship, and just trying to keep my head up and above water.

I was so BROKE I couldn’t even afford film for my camera to take pic of my baby 🥹

For the next several years, there were times I’d wonder where our next meal would come from, how bills would get paid, and others I felt I couldn’t continue.

Friends/family counted me as a lost cause - A dream deferred. A waste of potential. All of the things nobody wants to be.

It hurt and I wasn’t happy. But I never doubted that I’d make it out the mud because of the vision I was gifted. So, I did what I had to do - put my head down and do the WORK.

I became a serial entrepreneur, influencer, author, and unapologetically my best self.

My glimpse into the future was highkey the only thing that kept me going through the worst years I’d love to forget. Because things weren’t looking so good for ya girl.

So, if you have a vision, hold on to it TIGHT. Don’t share with everyone. And take steps towards it every day. Just don’t give up, whatever you do. Because…. the moment you quit is the second you lose.

‘Til next time,

Keish.
