https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxVvO0TFK9zZAtD_nz6AFoWPGwkk4APdJe?si=mBDe4lzp3oSLtg_R So in the wake of having someone from Delaware do their best to steal from me and the ripples of having much more time for personal pursuits because Corporate comes with ups and downs, I’m in a contemplative mood. The weekend that we usually celebrate Essence Festival is also my birthday weekend, always has…
