I want to share a brief update and a note of gratitude.

A few weeks ago, some inaccurate statements circulated among friends and in groups, including my nonprofit being referred to as an MLM. I addressed the situation directly and transparently in the video above because clarity and trust matter to me.

To be clear: my nonprofit is not an MLM. MLMs are for profit business models, and nonprofits operate under entirely different legal and financial structures. My nonprofit work is mission driven, transparent, and accountable.

Separately — and this is often where confusion comes from — I do have legitimate, for profit work outside of my nonprofit. Like many people, I have multiple streams of income, and the term “MLM” is often used loosely or incorrectly. It’s also frequently conflated with “pyramid scheme,” which is not the same thing. What matters to me is maintaining clear, ethical boundaries: nonprofit work is nonprofit, and for profit work is handled separately and transparently.

What matters most, though, is the support that followed.

Thank you to my family and friends who stood by me, asked questions, checked in, and offered help instead of assumptions. Your support — especially around Edwin, Emma, and the recent Make-A-Wish drive — reminded me why community is so important.

I’ll always choose openness, kindness, and doing the work honestly. I’m grateful for those who continue to show up with good intentions and big hearts. 🤍

25 years of 48 hrs of Tristate and I was registrant number 25! I'm humbled to be part of this event for my 4th year, and I'm excited to see it continue to make a difference. This year alone, we raised over $118k, and since its inception, 48hrs has brought in over 1.1 million for charity, with over $800k going to Make a Wish Foundation! There's still time to donate, and if you missed out, mark your calendars for next year. Thank you to everyone who supported and donated - I'm grateful to be part of such an incredible group that gives back every year!

Hello Chicago!

On this day, I choose to remind others of their blessings and ask for them to help give back. I heard Meta is having issues accepting donations via FB & IG, so here are the best ways to donate. Zelle being first, because they don’t take fees. However, I’ve also learned that some banks won’t allow Zelle to a business account? If you want to max your Zelle efforts, and cannot send to business, I can always forward mine and transfer over as a “cash donation.”

Z Movement is 100% volunteer, allowing 100% of the proceeds to go back to the community. Larger nonprofits focus on the bigger picture, while we’re able to pick up the smaller projects. Just last month, we were able to provide 101 backpacks to an underprivileged school district in Sonoma County, CA.

Coming up, we will have a food drive and our annual Make-a-Wish Foundation (literal) drive. Make-a-Wish donations will go directly to them and bypass our account. We’d love for others to join us in Jan for that drive! Please contact me for details.

Fun Fact: Z Movement is also a Virgo, with a birthday of September 10th, 2021!
