Wow… Ok I got some words now. Bare with me cause I didn’t pre write this. This is off the dome. All first verse. I just wanna thank everybody who had any type of part in making this happen. A lot of them don’t wanna be publicly thanked but I think it’s important to show gratitude where it’s needed and when it’s on your mind in real time. Like @briannenicole18 . BG!!! Im extremely grateful for you. Thank you for so many reasons but for now thank you so much for helping to kick off the work that became this list. Thank you Ali. General Ali! I know you don’t wanna be tagged but thank you & @raquelharristv for carrying this vision across the finish line. Everic, CW, Chardia, the Don @randall.lane , Alicia, Fernando and so many more people that I’ll most likely add to this caption once I have a chance to really think. Thank you @ayy.bee for the amazing artwork. A very special thank you to all 50 of our Champions At some point I thought about what it would look like to make a @forbestheculture version of a @forbes list. Something that highlighted those already making waves in the ocean but also those who creating channels where there once was dry land. Thank you for all the work you do. Last but certainly not least, because they always come first, Thank you to all the #forbestheculture family. Without the members, there is no For(bes) The Culture. You all inspired this list. You nominated those who you saw making an impact in the community and for the community. Not just typing about it but building empires where there used to be quicksand and growing forests where “they” poisoned the soil so nothing would grow. Doing the real work. Thank you. More than you’ll all ever truly know. Living it, not just taking about it. They say the highest form of inspiration is an example. Well, here are 50. Cheers to these #CultureMakers 🥂 #FTC50Champs #TheWorldIsUnderNewManagement #AndYupThisIsFromTheGuyWhoSaidLessCaptionsMorePictures #ForHistoricalPurposesOnly (at The Future) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVjmFnejZoI/?utm_medium=tumblr
