Every now and then I come across a really dope person, to add to my circle of dope influencers. Today, I'm sharing with you a dope person from Texas, by way of South Carolina, by way of Brooklyn - Akeem B. Why is Akeem so dope? Well he's been named one of San Antonio's 40 under 40. He's also the founder of Essence Prep Charter School, which is slated to be opened in Fall 2022. He drops bars without flinching and speaks with confidence. His demeanor is pleasant, yet you know he is about his business.
As you listen to our conversation, you will hear about the "corridor of shame" (look it up, you need to know this), how to own the space you reside in, and being your true self in all situations. Akeem truly drops some gems in this episode, and I hope you learn something and can apply it to your life.
If you'd like to learn more about Akeem and support Essence Prep, the website is essenceprepsa.org.
Until next week fam, stay conscious.
