I Hustle for My Last Name

“I hustle for my last name; not my first.” -Dame Dash

What does that mean to you?

For me? It means legacy. Leaving something behind for the next gen and the generation after that.

And that doesn’t just mean money.

But leaving behind the family values and rituals. What makes us special? What makes members of your clan memorable?

Generational wealth is important, yes. But so is generational wisdom and learnings.
