Coming soon is a post on Health -- The Body. You have to invest in and know the data about your body. Like many people of color, I get nervous about hospitals and doctors. Thanks to my corporate job, I was exposed to annual exams and blood tests. Unfortunately, when I made the shift to being an entrepreneur I didn't keep up with my annual exams. And it may be costing me...stay tuned for a future post on Health and how that impacts your Wealth.
Also Coming Soon - a series on #HowtoInvest. People have been reaching especially after the spikes in Gamestop, AMC, and other stock to learn the basics. I self taught myself how to invest beginning at the age of roughly 18 and have never stopped. To be a good investor and ensure you are not gambling (speculating), I'll cover (hardest parts of investing in RED):

When To Sell
I recently sold half of my position in TEGNA. Why: because its not good to be super greedy. When I bought awhile back at an average price of just below $15, I used my Mansa Musu network philosophy to #getthebag. I shared this stock tip with my subscribers and they learned that at one time there were over 4 companies sliding into the DM of TEGNA, trying to buy them out at a price of $20... before the COVID-19 pandemic and well before the elections of 2020. Search my site for when I first started writing about TEGNA a company that own TV stations across America and was a part of the old Gannett newspaper company that owned USA Today. Going into the elections it seemed like there was VALUE in this company especially when it was trading at $15 and 4 companies wanna hook up at $20. One company was black media mogul Byron Allen's (Net Worth: $400 Million) firm. So thank you Byron for networking and finding a diamond in the rough. Because TEGNA never hooked up with any four of the companies that slid into their DM, I waited and rode the wave up to $20. Is it the right or wrong time to sell? Well trust your network...if 4 well heeled companies did their research and though $20 was a good buyout price...I can afford to jump off the train at this price. Luckily for me I backed that thang up and purchased a boat load of shares. For full disclosure:
I sold TEGNA in my 401K portfolio
I sold half of TEGNA in my personal account
A quick example of when to sell, easily the hardest thing to learn to do.

Prism - Gun Violence in America
1) No Minimum Baseline = Tons of Loopholes
Why I'm Writing: I am considered a Subject Matter Expert in the Audit and Cybersecurity field. I take my craft seriously. In the cyber world to secure computers and companies we set a baseline...a minimum standard. So for the US to NOT have a minimum baseline or set of standards for guns across the nation means we'll have more mass casualties...plain and simple. Take Indiana, a recent shooting in Indianapolis was the result of a shooter who was flagged by the FBI as someone who could do harm to himself (and of course society). However, loopholes, workarounds, or lack of a minimum baseline to secure the people of Indianapolis led to this gentleman getting a gun 180 days later and committing a devastating mass murder of 8 people. I won't simplify the gun debate... but its simple. Take it from an auditor you either remove the automatic nature of guns to commit mass murder or you harden every facility like Fort Knox. I would have work for the remainder of my life (and be a billionaire) if we chose the latter (because it wouldn't be cheap) so the simple solution is to attack the guns. I lived in big cities and have traveled the world...good luck on trying to profile crazy. haha there are a lot of strange people walking around but either you make me a billionaire and I harden every restaurant, school, bathroom, club, and home or we simply solve the easier problem -- any weapon with semi-automatic shooting capacity. Because I can't diagnose crazy, I'll gladly give everyone a gun with training, however; we just don't need anything above semi-auto matto people call me fatso (Biggie baby baby) weapons on the streets. We do something called a risk assessment for Wall Street and major banks: Likelihood x Impact. The likelihood of guns will NOT go down...but let's focus on the Impact. Senseless mass murders means a lot of traumatized people walking the streets.
Coming soon my Health Article and why a Health Minimum Baseline was critical...and what I did wrong.
