You didn’t lose your momentum. You killed it. You started treating ordinary emotional weather like new information, holding an emergency board meeting every time you woke up tired, unmotivated, or discouraged. You made a clear commitment on Sunday night, but by Wednesday morning, you handed that dec...

We went back to Hillman. For Generation X, that sentence carries nearly four decades of cultural weight. Dwayne Wayne, Whitley Gilbert, Freddie Brooks, Ron Johnson, Mr. Gaines—A Different World wasn’t just a television sitcom in the late '80s and early '90s. It was an intentional showcase of Black i...
