In Ghana, there's a term commonly said when someone acts too innocently; “You Are Green.”
On this birthday, I share this saying to remind ourselves about the importance of staying green; regardless of the heights God permits us to attain in the years ahead. Now over the years, I’ve learned that when you are green, you build the patient capital (pun 100% intended) required to learn from others. You simply keep growing, and the best part is only a very few see your evolution coming. However, when you become ripe, the speed at which you rot quickens. And trust that those who once held you in high esteem begin to disassociate.
So today, it’s cheers to staying green and to the unimaginable level of growth ahead 🖤. All Love.
