By Dr. Leo Croft | Stix Intel Let’s stop pretending. Corporate America didn’t “get more inclusive.” It got more strategic. And if you’ve been paying attention—not to the PR slides, but to the boardroom seating charts—you know what I mean. Affirmative action and DEI were supposed to open the doors to opportunity for marginalized people. […]

IntroOk kinfolks—it’s time for me to put another target on my back. I’ve spent the last several months digging into something I had a gut feeling about. It started off with a question. Then a pattern. Now I’m staring at a full-blown problem hiding in plain sight. Some of these so-called “hard conversations” aren’t what […]

In the modern world, personality is power. We tend to imagine that leaders—whether of nations or multi-billion-dollar companies—possess exceptional traits. Confidence. Vision. Charisma. Resilience. But history—and psychology—offer a sobering alternative: what if the very qualities that enthrall the public and disrupt the status quo also mask deeper psychological dysfunction?

There’s no way to soften this truth: we failed our young Black girls. Not in an abstract, “society is messed up” kind of way. No, we failed them directly, personally, and collectively. We failed them when we laughed at their suffering. When we made light of a grown man urinating on a 14-year-old girl. When […]

Life is a movie. Your movie. You are the protagonist, the director, the editor—all in one. Every day, you shape your storyline, navigating plot twists, triumphs, and setbacks. But here’s something most people don’t realize: your supporting cast matters just as much as your own performance. Yet, so many people keep the wrong actors in […]

Let’s clear something up. I’ve written before about how people build entire personalities around movie quotes and song lyrics, using them like philosophical blueprints for life.
