The Revolution Start At Sunrise
ONYX is where Black queer excellence meets energy sovereignty.
I'm a runner who discovered that marathons are easier than corporate meetings. A music lover who realized concert venues hold more wisdom than conference rooms. A Human Design nerd who finally understood why I was exhausted by noon but could write until dawn.
This newsletter exists because I got tired of translating myself for spaces that were never built for me. Tired of productivity advice from people who've never navigated a workplace while Black and queer. Tired of wellness content that ignores how systemic oppression literally drains our energy centers.
What You'll Find Here
Movement - Running while Black. Training schedules that honor your energy. Why your body knows things your mind hasn't figured out yet. The politics of who gets to take up space on the trail.
Music - Cultural criticism through a liberation lens. Why certain albums hit different at dawn. Concert reviews that read energy as much as performance. Playlists for revolution and recovery.
Mindset - Energy management for the marginalized. Human Design without the woo-woo gatekeeping. How to build wealth when capitalism wasn't designed for you. Strategic rest as resistance.
Who This Is For
The overthinkers who wake up with solutions. The creative spirits trapped in cubicles. The ones who feel everything too deeply and learned to call it weakness. The runners who process trauma with their feet. The music lovers who find God on the dance floor. The tired revolutionaries who need permission to rest.
If you've ever felt like you're operating in a system that wasn't built for your energy, you're in the right place.
My Story
I spent a decade in construction management, waking up at 4:30 AM to run before heading to job sites. I thought I was broken - why couldn't I sustain the 60-hour weeks everyone else seemed to manage? Why did networking events feel like energy vampires? Why was I brilliant in the morning but useless after lunch?
Then I discovered Human Design and learned I'm a 4/6 Self-Projected Projector with five undefined energy centers. Suddenly everything made sense. I wasn't broken - I was trying to run Generator software on Projector hardware.
Now I think about avoiding burn out in systems that weren't designed for us. I write about the intersection of identity, energy, and liberation. I document what it looks like to build a life that honors how you're actually designed to operate.
The ONYX Promise
No cold emails. No hustle porn. No "just push through" bullshit.
Instead: Strategic rest. Magnetic visibility. Aligned action. Revolutionary self-care. Building wealth without burning out. Creating from overflow, not depletion.

Subscribe to get the insights that help you reclaim your energy, honor your design, and build the life you thought was impossible.
The revolution will not be televised. It happens in the quiet hours before dawn, in the decision to rest when the world demands productivity, in the courage to be your whole self in spaces that prefer your fragments.
