ON MASTERING A GRIT MINDSET... you are not what happened to you. i say this not to be insensitive. i say this because i know this to be true. in my own life... i have failed repeatedly. i have failed publicly and privately. i have endured the most undignified of humiliations and professional #shaming. as an entrepreneur, i have lost #investors, without warning. i have lost deals and paid sponsorships without a heads up. you name and i have likely experienced it. i've gotten very ill/sick and came close to not making it through alive. i've survived unwarranted #defamation and lost everything i've worked so hard for, in the process. time and time again, have i endured crippling challenges and #adversity. but all i have known, during every-one of these challenges, has been to focus on the #solutions as opposed to the #problem, at hand. you are not your failure. you are not your anxiety. you are not your depression. you are not the trauma from years past. you are not your breakup or #divorce. and so holding on to all the #wrongs and #abuses from the past is a waste of precious time. instead, focus on solutions. find the-next-best-action forward. positively shift your #mindset and change your life (for the best.) by... - justice kwesi kwarteng, mfa. founder... - @iamprojectgrit - @the99centsfund - @iamcollagemag - @cofashionweek - @collageimpact - @iamjusticek https://www.instagram.com/p/BwnBz2iF-31/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=y8ee1ksvyz3h

ON MASTERING A GRIT MINDSET... people will show you who they really are but take that as your greatest opportunity yet to practice empathy and love-in-acton. in my own life... i once loved a woman i admired with-all-me. she showed me who she truly was at the start of our partnership but i found that as my best opportunity yet to practice love-in-acton. i just couldn't pass up the opportunity to build a muscle memory for love and #empathy-in-action. and so i leaned-in to this relationship and it was one of the best decisions of my life. i am a better soul today because of the incredible lessons #gained from this experience. for even during the most selfish moments in this union, i could see through the reasons behind the most #disrespectful of behaviors without ever casting any blame. for me, every unpleasant and dishonorable moments were my best #masterclass opportunity to cultivate #grit as a skill. yes, people will show you who they truly are--but do remember that their behavior has more to do with their yet to be healed #painful pasts--that has nothing to do with you. grit is vulnerability embodied, from-moment-to-moment. by... - justice kwesi kwarteng, mfa. founder... - @iamprojectgrit - @iamcollagemag - @cofashionweek - @collageimpact - @iamjusticek https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwdtr4FF5rM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tsnwygn3aggy

ON MASTERING A GRIT MINDSET... in order to build a grit #mindset, you must make a contract with yourself to, completely, resist any form of complaining and #blaming, whatsoever. instead... accept full and absolute #responsibility for wherever you are in (your) life. then seek to, first and foremost, understand the exact #causes that led to the current situation you find yourself in. for it is only by understanding the cause(s) can you move to, meaningfully, correct the current wrongs that led to your current situation. lastly... you must shift your #wrongMindset to that of a #rightMindset, if you care to, truly, transform your life. by... - justice kwesi kwarteng, mfa. founder... - @iamprojectgrit - @iamcollagemag - @cofashionweek - @collageimpact - @iamjusticek https://www.instagram.com/p/Bway6dtFMv3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n22668ywmsr3

ON MASTERING A GRIT MINDSET... grit is empathy in constant action. grit is not 'hard-ness'. grit is #vulnerability in the here and now. grit is not 'brute-ness'. grit is the vulnerable surrender to every insecurity ever lived. grit is the authentic leaning-in to our biggest fears. grit is the complete overcoming of your most traumatic events from your years past. grit is the moment-to-moment #warrior mindset defeating of the abuses, fears and failures from your past. grit is the #mindful embodiment of love. but what is love? if grit is the #conscious embodiment of love--then what, exactly, is love? for me, love is about the conscious discovery of who GOD created you to, really, become. love has nothing to do with what is outside of you. rather, love is the committed effort and deliberate intention of looking within, as opposed to looking without. grit is compassion incarnate. grit is empathy embodied. grit is love in action. in order to... truthfully, change your life, you must shift your #mindset from a #wrongMindset to that of a #rightMindset. by... - justice kwesi kwarteng, mfa. founder... - @iamprojectgrit - @iamcollagemag - @cofashionweek - @collageimpact - @iamjusticek https://www.instagram.com/p/BwX8g4wFOO5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15e300uipqeim

ON MASTERING A GRIT MINDSET... Grit is a skill. Grit has nothing to do with roughness. Grit has nothing to do with being 'hard'.

For me, great #Design + #Style is that kind of design that is effortlessly authentic. I design from feeling. I style my clients by their energy. I absorb a lot of visual inspirations. I do this to avoid imitation in an effort for #authenticity. -- justice k kwarteng, mfa. designer + style director, @iamjusticek. founder @cofashionweek https://www.instagram.com/p/BwPk-L_ll_6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vgzx7pyhb8ko

GRIT MINDSET MASTERY... Words + thoughts influence OUR ACTIONS. If so then we must be MINDFUL of what we focus on + the WORDS we say. AND SO EVERY TIME WE DWELL ON our ills + a wrong from the past, we re-empower that event. Do not repeat your ills. FOCUS ON LOVE + gratitude, instead. -- by justice kwesi kwarteng, mfa -- founder, @iamprojectgrit -- creator, @cofashionweek -- founder, @collageimpactstrategy -- managing partner, @the99centsfund https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvt_5XzluHQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1er3e1m5gqule

‪#VulnerabilityREQUIRED.... Denver, CO. Saturday. March 9, 2019. My admiration and respect for LARIZA DELAROSA--The Oficial Face of CO FASHION WEEK and the COLLAGE IMPACT STRATEGY portfolio of companies: I've spent the last 4-5years turning the lens of my own life to better understand me and how to be more of what God, the supreme being, created me to be. In the process, I've met a lot of people and everyone of these people has taught me something because I allowed myself to turn them into a teacher, consciously and otherwise. LARIZA Delarosa is one such individuals: I've scouted, groomed, trained, coached and managed the careers of many an aspiring professional model and talent over the last 15-years. But Lariza is one of the very few people who, have consistently, shown the required tenacity and patience and hunger needed to succeed. She has been one of the few who was been willing to DO THE WORK and stay the course. I've challenged LARRY / Lari to transform her MINDset. I've challenged her to rethink the self-limiting beliefs she held as a person and a woman. But no matter how tough the challenge or curve ball I'll hurl her way, she would rise to it. I attribute a lot of her success to the quality upbringing from her parents, especially her mom. LARIZA is grounded and focused. She is extremely ambitious but is also realistic enough to realize she must earn her lot. She expects Nothing to be Handed to her just because/ In the past couple of months, I've quietly been pitching her to brands and designers to consider her for their next campaign or explore a paid partnership with her. My goal is to get her into or with the right brand collaboration and/or the perfect partnership. AVAILABILITY and INQUIRIES... + We are currently accepting Branded Partnerships and Monetized Collaborations for LARIZA for all the following markets... - MIAMI - ATLANTA - CHICAGO - LOS ANGELES - NEW YORK CITY - LAS VEGAS * serious and professional inquiries only.

CO FASHION WEEK HUMANIZE FASHION WEEK campaign... Denver, CO, Saturday. March 2, 2019. hi, my name is JUSTICE KWESI KWARTENG and i'm responsible for making people pay better attention to the promise of AN ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE Fashion INDUSTRY for the beautiful City of Denver. when i decided to launch CO FASHION WEEK to put the majestic STATE on the international fashion map, a lot of the decision members at the CITY didn't see it's ECONOMIC viability, at first. on another note, some of the city employees were good friends with the majority of my DETRACTORS from the LOCAL FASHION INDUSTRY & so they did everything possible to make it very DIFFICULT as needed for me to bring FASHION WEEK to life. BUT i knew better to not let them block my VISION. my persistence paid off when i finally run into an independent CONSULTANT for the city who was willing to HEAR MY VISION. he decided to do what he could and MADE SOME INTRODUCTIONS to the right people, at the right time, for me. i hit the ground running AND MADE FASHION WEEK happen out of, simple, pure WILL and GRIT. i had NO MONEY or investors & so i SOLD anything of value to me and used the money as my seed CAPITAL. i lived in boulder at the time & there days that i couldn't even afford to take the BUS to get to DENVER for meetings & so i would borrow my roommate's car. ON THE Opening Day of CO FASHION WEEK, with a big article in the lifestyle session of the DENVER POST & boundless excitement in the air about FASHION WEEK, I STILL OWED the city $5K as part of the cost for using the BUELL THEATER for my event. AS A RESULT, the comptroller for the city came & CONFISCATED my laptop, to use as COLLATERAL. But i needed the laptop because it contained the names of all the MODELS and designers & RUN-OF-SHOW. i begged her, the comptroller, but she assured me she was just doing her job--and she was right. GOD IS ALWAYS so good to: A STRANGER ENDED UP paying for the debt about 11am that morning, on their credit card, & the city gave me my computer back. MY NAME IS JUSTICE K KWARTENG & I made the FASHION INDUSTRY what it is in Denver today. Oh, and I'M ALL OUT going for the fucking #BULLIES. get ready.

#VulnerabilityREQUIRED: a Master Class on how to turn ADVERSITY and failure in the SKILL of GRIT. IT DOESN'T MATTER... the wrong that has been done to you. it doesn't matter the most hurtful words that has been said to you. it doesn't matter because you are none of those words. it only matters if you make it so. most people live in a place of permanent victim-hood. BUT THIS WHAT I KNOW to be true: i have told to go back home to Africa by folks in Louisville, Kentucky; i've lost a few women i dearly love because a member or two of/in their family did not approve of the COLOR OF MY SKIN; i've been told by someone of my own blood that if they were on their death bed, i was the ONLY ONE they were to receive a blood donation from, they would rather die. i have been prevented from entering MY OWN HOME by a resident who assumed i did not live there. i have heard AND experienced the most HUMILIATING forms of discrimination in, both, my personal and professional lives. yes, it rattled me in the very moments--especially when i was younger and DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO or how to handle it. but i decided to commit myself to understanding the very CAUSES to, and reasoning behind, WHY PEOPLE HATE. i sought and found me a zen TEACHER, hakubai zenji. zenji mentored me and taught me to use the power of ZAZENto quiet the mind and MASTER my universe. zenji was awesome to me--he opened his ZENDO to me and gave 1-to-1 lessons. his even took me in when i lost my home due to a relationship ending. ZENJI'S emboldened me to not be afraid and take bigger risks. HOW a desire to promote SUICIDE PREVENTION and ANTI-BULLYING led me to create this MASTER CLASS: i wanted to meaningfully equip the most vulnerable members within communities, like the YOUTH, to cultivate GRIT-as-a-skill to handle bullying, bigotry and harassment. MY GOAL in life is to... ...To RESTORE DIGNITY to the DESTITUTE and often ignored, and judged, members of society through 1-to-1 MINDSET Transformation Coaching.
