   Time for some ✨ nostalgia ✨

   A decade ago, I was convinced that, like most Black people in tech, capitalism was the most reliable means of moving out of poverty. I was sold that working hard, throwing yourself at the machine on the behest of someone "wiser" was the way. So I picked up to Zero to One, grinded and got invited to apply for The Thiel Fellowship.

   Then I met him.

   I met a lot of people here (some of which ended up making some stuff like Figma).
