Ambitious Girl...

I WRITE, I LOVE, I WORK, I LIVE... Ambitious girl…your drive-drives me crazy...I'm tryna stay with you, lay with you...I'll pay you tuition and pray with you if you aint into wishin'...I'm tryna f*ck the sh*t out your aspirations. See, the last one I dated, I hated. We wake up, I go to work, she leave out & come back with some make up, high heels, and a purse, or worse I ask, "Babygirl, what you aspire to be?" She reply to me like, "why you perspiring me?" b*tch…pardon me if I'm sweating you but, I wanna see something else in you before I invest in you...Ambitious girl..what you hitting for? I'd rather you tell me to hit you later, because you gotta finish a paper then to be in my face asking for a rosé cup. See these b*tches can't cut in yo business...I'm in love with your business...and your productivity is the reason I interest. Ambitious girl…see, I like the person that you are but I'm in love with the person that you have potential to be....and all your dreams sharing with me...and your secrets baring with me...and the flaws, you aint even got to mention to me. Ambitious girl..you just wanna win…and you'd rather chase your dreams, then to try to chase these men, that try to chase these skirts, that try to chase these shots with flavors that not even as sweet as her. My ambitious girl, I wont forget you, I just reflect on how I aint met you, yet boo you somewhere, getting your life in order…so for the time being, I hope this over-scribe might support her…the supporter her, the worker, she worth it… GO GIRL, GO GIRL, GO GIRL…AMBITIOUS~Wale Folarin

There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask "What if I fall?" Oh but my darling, What if you fly? ~ Erin Hanson We celebrated my bestie’s 35th birthday at her @kidsgymusa fundraising mixer. The feeling of watching your friends fly is as joyful as flying but even better because you know you’ll never fly alone! I’m so proud of Eunice and admire her and Brent for their intentionality to lift as they fly high! Eunice centers family and community in everything she does and does so with such intensity and passion. Eunice sets a great example of lifting as you climb for the youth and her peers. She reminds us that failing is only an opportunity to attempt to fly again and again. What a beautiful and inclusive way to mark 35… I’m always in awe of you Eunice, you collectivist Beautiful Black Queen! #BestiesAndTheirBirthdays #ThisIs35 #FundraisingMixer #KidsGymUSA #BirthdayFundraiser #Flying #LiftAsYouClimb #BlackCommunity #BlackFamily #BlackLove #BlackExcellence #AtlantaLove #HUlove #HowardTaughtUs #HappyBirthday (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck6Sbp9AkUl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The joy of my world is 1 years old today! The past 365 days have been filled with indescribable love, joy, happiness and peace because you exist, my Dilichukwu. Your birth is my rebirth and your life is my legacy. I wish you all of love, joy, happiness, and peace you give the world ten fold! Happy Born Day to you… to us! At 12 months we’re walking… ambitiously! We’re toddler status! Our food and sleep schedule is a coin toss, and our personality involves lot of fuss. 🥴😂🤷🏾‍♀️ This is our last monthly update so family/framily check-in on y’a Dili (and his parents 😂🤣😭) offline. We’re celebrating 🥳 this Saturday! Stop through the crib and show our Dili some ONE LOVE!! 🙌🏾 #12monthsold #12monthspostpartum #DiliDeux #Ekenedilichukwu #Dilichukwu #Dili #BeautifulBoy #Toddler #BabeEkene #AfricanBoy #NigerianBoy #IgboBoy #YorubaBoy #Summertime #BlackBoyJoy #OneLove🤎👶🏽🤎 10.25.22 #NeverBeenLoveLikeThisBefore #ThankYouForChoosingMe #MySeed #MyLegacy #JoyOfMyWorld https://www.instagram.com/p/CkKJdfzASJh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust." ~ bell hooks "Societies never know it, but the war of an artist with his society is a lover's war, and he does, at his best, what lovers do, which is to reveal the beloved to himself and, with that revelation, to make freedom real." ~ James Baldwin Our union turns 9 today! The past year has been full of joy and growing pains. The challenges with our identity struggles are parallel with our ongoing lover’s war. But gratefully the challenges bring us closer to the liberation we seek and need to be our highest and best selves. I revel in the growing pains because that is the space where we will find, stretch, and sustain real love and partnership. I celebrate our joy as I celebrate our growing pains. Thank you, Kennedy, for the joy of giving life and raising our son together and for the growing pains of what it takes to sustain the essence of love: the consistent combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect, trust (and then some). Thankfully we centralize and work at the love (passion and friendship) and we pray. What a time we’ve had in 9 years and what a time we have to come! Happy 9th Anniversary, Big Dili… cheers to more US! #LoveJoy #LovePain #LoveGrowth #BlackMagicLove #BabyRaisingLove # #StillMarriedAF #August2nd #MarriageAnniversary #OurLoveIsNine #TheEkenes #OgunjobiEkeneGang #aYorubaIgboLoveStory #aNigerianAmericanLoveStory #MadeInSenegal #ElevatedLove #NigerianLove #BlackLove #OurLove #LoveIsJoy #LoveIsABattle #LoveIsAWar #LoveIsGrowingUp #LoveIsUs #LoveIsPartnership #LoveIsCoparenting @coach_kennedi https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxM5fMAc4M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

9 months and we get active lil baby!! We got our two front teeth 🦷 ! We’re eagerly eating food (finally 😅)! We’re mobile with a crawl or walker support . We enjoyed our first rounds of Daddy Daycare while Mommy traveled (we support healthy and balanced life for parents). We loved our first overnight stays away from home with the family! #9monthsold #9monthspostpartum #DiliDeux #Ekenedilichukwu #Dilichukwu #Dili #BeautifulBoy #Infant #BabeEkene #BlackBoyCrawl #EatBabyEat #GrowBabyGrow #FirstOvernightStayAwayFromHome #FirstTimeAwayFromBaby #HotBabySummer #Summertime #BlackBoyJoy #ActiveBaby #WeOutside🤎👶🏽🤎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CgcTRxAgkfp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
