Last Night 💜
Last night, I got the NICEST compliment ever — a customer told me he'd travel with me every year, everywhere. Made my day.
That sent me back to something I said to my business manager weeks ago:
“WHY am I not rich asf yet?!”
He looked me in the eye and said, “They don’t know you yet. People need your real stories; your voice—not just your glossy pics.”
Well... Somebody’s listening . And that makes my day.
Why Amsterdam Isn’t Just a Trip—It’s a Mancation 😉
- Red Light District — It’s a famous scene for a reason. Window ladies go for about $50/hour.
- Weed Game Strong — Coffee shops (yes, they’re weed cafes, not Starbies) have hundreds of strains. Expect to pay $10–20 depending on how adventurous you're feeling. No alcohol served here—just that green magic.
- July Ain’t So Hot — Even in summer it’s sneaky chilly. Bring a light jacket.
- Close Hops — Rotterdam is 30 minutes away if you want a Carnival fix.
- Paris is a 3-hour train—upgrade to first class for grown man vibes.
My Brothers Went Wild 💋
I took two of my brothers for the Black in Amsterdam Experience—3 nights in AMS, 2 in Rotterdam. Immediately they hit those coffee shops, paired it with nightly Red Light strolls—repeat for three days straight. And someone allegedly had enough “relations” in one night to put a dry Popeyes biscuit to shame. Yes… he left Amsterdam clean and dry.
Black in Amsterdam & Dinner Boat
I chartered us a private dinner boat on the canals—lights, food, and wine flowing. Decadence with a side of culture. We also did the Black in Amsterdam tour, dropping knowledge that Amsterdam once had Black dignitaries and power players—not just slave narratives .
Want to sound like a brainy savage? Pick up:
- Black in Rembrandt’s Time — Elmer Kolfin
- Black Europe and the African Diaspora — Darlene Clark Hine
- Afropean — Johny Pitts
Rotterdam Carnival — Part 2 of the Takeover
Rotterdam hit next. Feathers, sequins, high energy. Brown-skinned women on a cartoon-checkout-your-checks level. My brothers’ jaws dropped—again. And again, they were already dry as biscuits.
