MORE TO BUILD
In this moment of raw vulnerability, I find myself grappling with the weight of two profound losses. The abrupt disappearance of 90% of my monthly business revenue on May 23 forcing scaling down, layoffs of my staff etc., followed by the passing of my dear grandfather on June 23, has left me shattered (30 day difference - irony or a divine setup?)
As I embark on the journey of rebuilding, my heart is heavy, yet I am determined to share my truth. For I believe that in exposing the realities of entrepreneurship, I can offer genuine support and inspiration to fellow business owners who may be facing similar hardships.
Over the past 30+ days, I have found myself digging deep into the reserves of my business savings, while also relying on the kindness of borrowed funds. It is not an easy path, and I don't share this seeking sympathy. Instead, I want to convey the raw honesty of the struggle, the relentless effort required to pivot and adapt in the face of adversity.
In these trying times, I had to realize the devil attempts to thrive within isolation. But despite the weight of my grief from these dual losses, I refuse to allow the devil to claim any victory over my spirit. I am determined to forge ahead, to rise above the challenges that threaten to consume me.

I have built a seven-figure brand that weathered one of the most challenging economic crises of the 21st century. It is with this understanding that I find solace and strength. I know that I possess the resilience, the determination, and the skills necessary to rebuild once more.
Listen this is merely a chapter of transition, of transformation. I embrace the my mantra of #MORETOBUILD, recognizing that there is still much to be accomplished, even in the face of adversity. I declared #MORETOBUILD in January, I didn't know it would look like this, but I am GAME.
Again, I share my truth not to seek pity, but to inspire and uplift. May my journey serve as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we can find the strength to rise, to rebuild, and to forge a future that is even more resilient than before.
