It reminded me of what I heard comedian Deon Cole said, “Don’t you code switch another day!” Right in that moment I literally said, “You right!” His point being don’t you shrink yourself to fit into these spaces that you really don’t want to be in. Don’t shrink and change who you are so that others are comfortable with your presence.

“We don’t ride the wave we create it, that’s how we made it to Beyonce’s playlist. I’m about to be on a first name basis with Beyonce!”

We live in a society where copy cat mentalities, bandwagon groupies and crowds seem to be the going thing now. It is a constant peering over at another person’s paper to see how we can do what they do the same way. Instead of us focusing on what we have inside to create what is needed for the world. Or in this case, how we can stop riding the wave, but Create Your Wave.
