The more you know ..

Last night at mentorship, we watched an old 1954 video called “The Secret of Selling to a Negro.” And I’m telling you, this video opened up a real conversation with our young men.

The video was basically showing businesses how to market to Black people. Back then, they were telling companies, “Don’t ignore this community, because Black people spend money too.” The crazy part is, decades later, we are still having the same conversation except now the numbers are even bigger.

Black consumers’ economic power is projected to grow from about $910 billion in 2019 to $1.7 trillion by 2030, yet Black communities are still often underserved. (McKinsey & Company) At the same time, the median Black household income was around $54,000 in 2023, according to Pew Research. (Pew Research Center) Another 2026 report put Black household income around $56,020 in 2024, while also noting that Black households hold only about 15 cents in wealth for every $1 held by White households. (NCRC)

So the lesson is simple: we have spending power, but spending power is not the same as ownership, wealth, or control.

3 lessons we pulled from the video:

1. Recognition matters.
The video showed that companies knew Black people had money to spend, but they still needed to be reminded to respect us as customers. That tells our kids something important: never beg to be seen, but understand your value.

2. Consumption without ownership keeps us behind.
We spend billions and trillions collectively, but how much of that comes back to our neighborhoods? How much do we own? How many businesses, properties, schools, programs, and opportunities are we building with that money?

3. Education is economic defense.
If our kids don’t understand marketing, money, business, ownership, and consumer behavior, they become the target instead of the decision-makers. That’s why mentorship matters. We are not just watching videos — we are teaching our kids how to think.

At Limitless Athletics, these are the conversations we are having. Sports are great, but our kids need more than drills. They need financial literacy, history, discipline, critical thinking, and real-life conversations that prepare them for the world.

Because if they can learn how the system sells to them, they can learn how to build, own, and lead within it.

Shoutout to my guy Boston Streetunion Donnie for stopping by our mentorship group. I always have to say how proud I am of him. He came through and spoke life into our young men, reminding them that every choice matters. He kept it real with them: your past does not define you, but your decisions today will shape your future. And one thing I always preach, your name is your name. Protect it. Build it. Stand on it. Donnie’s story, his growth, and his willingness to pour back into these kids is exactly what mentorship is about. Real people. Real lessons. Real impact. Salute to you, brother.

This month, our Limitless Athletics students put real work in using our new IXL program. For the month of March alone, they correctly answered over 500 questions. That number is more than just stats it represents focus, discipline, growth, and a commitment to getting better every day. We believe academics matter, and this is proof that when young athletes are given the right tools and support, they rise to the occasion. We’re proud of our students for buying in and putting the work in. This is what progress looks like, and we’re just getting started. Fear is your only limit.

Last night’s mentorship group was different. We watched South Central and broke it down for what it really is: a lesson. A lesson on how fast life can go left when you don’t know who’s really for you. Everybody smiling in your face is not trying to see you win. Everybody around you does not have your best interest at heart, and our young men need to understand that early.

We talked about priorities, discipline, and emotional intelligence. We talked about how one emotional reaction, one bad decision, one wrong person in your ear can cost you years of your life. That’s real. That’s why these mentorship groups matter.

This is bigger than sports. Bigger than just working out. This is about teaching our kids how to think, how to move, how to control their emotions, and how to survive and grow in the real world.

These are the conversations that create change. This is the work that matters.

Congrats family looks like we’ll be watching a lot more Notre Dame !!

Your Digital Footprint is Your First Impression

To every young adult, athlete, and student-athlete , …..listen up.

Before a coach recruits you, before a scholarship committee selects you, before an employer hires you , they’re Googling you. What they find will either open doors or close them.
Every post, comment, and reaction is building a record. Privacy settings don’t erase screenshots. A moment of frustration online can outlast years of hard work.

Ask yourself:

✅ Does my profile reflect my character, not just my highlights?

✅ Would a coach or recruiter be proud of what they see?

✅ Am I building a legacy , or risking one?
You’ve put in the work on the field. Protect it off the field too.

Your name is your brand. Guard it. 💪
