Hey, I’m Michell.

I love rapping Jay-Z’s “Shiny Suit Theory” verse word for word, picking up heavy objects in gymnasiums, designing my own websites, and getting spicy in the comment section. I can gas you up and roast you simultaneously.

I believe that empathy facilitates cultural connectivity, cultural connectivity makes us more informed individuals, and more informed individuals improve society.

I’ve built a career for myself as a versatile writer with an adaptive approach, an eye for aesthetic, and an insatiable appetite for evaluating real world case studies.

I believe that social media is a powerful vehicle when we emphasize lifelong learning, value our personal narratives, and de-prioritize algorithmic obsession.

I wrote a 33-page e-book to help you build a successful long term social media strategy. These aren’t the latest “tips and tricks.” This is the mental framework you must develop to win on your own terms.

Can you imagine a world without social media in 2019? I can’t. I’m also painfully aware of the negative side effects that can come with staying plugged in. For my first article on @MTVNEWS, I reached out to @hellodrjoy of @therapyforblackgirls to talk about how we can set boundaries and shift our thinking to make the negative effects of social media more manageable.

This wasn’t my first radio interview, but it’s something special about hearing your voice on the radio station you literally grew up listening to 😱 Big, big BIG love to @littlebaconbear for having me pull up to @939WKYS for this week’s #MCM segment, and for giving me a platform to talk about the story behind my book, ‘Keep It 100.’ We exchanged jokes and insults, because, balance. @Malcolm_X asked me to name the capital city of like three different states, all of which I fumbled live on air. 😂 2019, you’ve been great to me so far. Let’s keep the positive energy flowing and the hot takes scalding. ⚡️

It’s so hard being a fake model. My beard implant sponsorship JUST came through so I’m kinda new to this. Do I give em the “how dare you ask me for my skincare routine” scowl of disgust? Or do I stop, drop, shut em down open up shop with the “I listen to the Isley Brothers playlist on Spotify” romantic gaze? Or do I hit em with the carefree “hee hee ha, my credit score is immaculate” laugh-and-look-away combo? Yeah, that’ll get em.

I’m spending less time worrying about how every single little thing is going to work out, and more time focusing on making every day count. So far....it’s working. 💪🏾

MY TWEETS ARE...BALANCED.

My next party is just gonna be a room full of couches where we all just show up in sweatpants and hoodies and admit how exhausted we are

Every creative needs a circle of friends that can empathize with the struggles and insecurities that come with the art form they've chosen for themselves.
