The OHGI Declaration It's time to get real specific with your goals and to commit 100%! Specificity and Accountability are the key to us accomplishing our goals and living in our purpose. Once we are specific enough with telling ourselves and the universe EXACTLY what we want, opportunities will come our way IF OUR ENERGY ALIGNS. Setting our energy is internal and 100% in our control. We control what energy we give to the universe and therefore determine the opportunities that will come back our way! After that, it's on us take full advantage of the opportunities and to EXECUTE THE PLAN! Once the plan is executed and we win, let's celebrate, and then get right on to the next goal!
Let's win and live in purposeful abundance! It's right here for us! 🤲🏿
What we think/dream about, usually presents itself in the form of an opportunity. Whether or not we take advantage of that opportunity… is on us!

Everyone is so gym aware right now in Nigeria, what changed!? At a time it was only guys that wanted to be bulky that went to the gym, most ladies stuck to waist trainers or slimming tea. But right now everyone is so gym aware.
What influenced this!? can we say it's covid, or is it social media, or the aesthetics or is it that people have just became content creators and the gym just fits their aesthetic?
Join Adewunmi; a fitness trainer in Nigeria as he examines this shift with so much humor.
So brace yourself up for smiles and nods! ☺️

There's nothing worse for a politician, than to be out of touch with their supporters. This is exactly what is happening when it comes to the Black community and democrats. Democrats tend to think that younger generations in the Black community, are the same as our parents, grandparents, and previous generations. WE ARE NOT. We will not fall victim to your emotional manipulation. We have no problem NOT voting for democrats and voting for a republican candidate. I know it sounds farfetched compared to the blind loyalty you all have become accustomed to in your dealings with our parents. So allow me to give you some further insight on what's about to happen.

Bruh WTF is going on?! Attention really is the biggest addiction in this weird society we live in! Having the amazing man you claim you prayed for just isn’t enough. First you make a song talking some dumb “independent” shit, talking bout how you don’t need a man. Now you out here butt naked in public. Then what was the prayer for?! These bored ass celebrities are embarrassing. Thank God Future got away from this toxic behavior. I hope Russ can address this or do the same! 😅. What’s funny is somewhere out there in the amazing Instagram world, there’s a strong woman and a simp man that will defend this. And call it freedom! 😂 And then say that men who don’t allow this are insecure. And then will say we need to protect women and their sexuality.

Like forreal, how are we allowing this? Our culture is so trash. Out here violating us at every turn, and WE allowing it! SMFH! Do we ever stop and think, what’s the reason behind huge companies like vogue pushing this? Or will we just let it slide because everyone loves Rihanna? Do we not see a correlation between how things are promoted to our communities and why our young boys and men are so soft and unfit to lead? Celebrities have always been used to pacify us into accepting things that are detrimental to our community. Just look at all the agendas that were pushed while Barack was in office. We just allow anything as long our celebrities endorse it. Enough is enough.

We dive into the fitness journey of Fega and how she took control of her wellness with discipline, focus, and consistency. We hope this can be an inspiration for you, as much as it was for us!
I’m sure there’s lots of thoughts and emotions running through all of us after seeing the horrendous footage of Tyre being brutally murdered. The biggest thought for me is, when will enough be enough and when will we make the changes necessary to ensure that this never happens again? I said “What’s next?” in the video, but as I’m sitting here typing, all I’m thinking is “What NOW?”

Let’s break down the intro where Big is describing Diddy’s approach to putting in work!
We had the honor and pleasure of interviewing our dear friend Dr. Shagha DeNoble! Shagha is a Minimally Invasive Gynecological Surgeon and Board Certified OB/GYN. We're still blown away by how she’s able to balance life between running an independent physician practice, teaching her community, and most importantly, being an amazing Mom! Our team learned A LOT as we discussed relevant topics that are now more important than ever! We hope you enjoy and have some amazing takeaways as we dive deep into marriage/relationships, spirituality, balancing life and work, and the overall state of our society! 🤲🏿✨🦈
Respect is earned by not tolerating disrespect and ill treatment. Respect is demonstrated by how someone responds to a situation in which they or their organization mistreated someone. Black people may be the most disrespected group of people on earth, and it is simply because WE allow it. We are quick to confront our own, but have developed an inferior complex that discourages us from confronting others. I will not participate or contribute to that inferiority complex. I hope you all won't either.

There is a huge difference between "Mental Health" and "The Mental Health Agenda." The Agenda is BS and is similar to most businesses, the emphasis is not on the safety and wellbeing of the consumer; But instead on how the company can sell their product and make as much profit as possible. Don't believe me? Take a listen and let me know if your thoughts/feelings change!
Although "The Lion King" is one of our childhood favorites, perhaps it would have been better if we watched it at a more mature age. The lessons taught in the movie, are direct parallels to what has and is happening in America! We are living in a time in which our men are being emasculated and the results are horrendous for our younger generations. But should we be surprised? Not if we paid closer attention to what "The Lion King" was actually showing us!
This is a tough one! I just discussed last week how we shouldn't put faith in our athletes/entertainers to accept the responsibility of the best purpose for the overall People. And now this week, I made that same mistake! At the end of the day, WE missed out a once in a lifetime opportunity with Deion leaving JSU. There's only one Deion and he had the unique ability to elevate every aspect of HBCUs just by his mere presence. It was/is on all of us to make sure he stays!
Think back in your life to the times that you needed to make necessary changes to elevate... What drove you to make that change? Was it Hate? Was it Hope? Or was it Love?

The Feminist Movement to Women (predominantly Black), is what Drill/Gangster Music is to Black Men… The false appearance of empowerment and freedom, leading us fast and hard in the wrong direction. #NuclearFamilyWins
If we are not willing to step up and take a stand for what makes sense... who will?

With the recent uproar around Tua's injury and concussion protocol, it's important that we keep things in proper perspective. Who determines what's the "proper perspective"? Who knows! Lol. But we are definitely going to share ours! Remember, everything we do is to build conversations that will lead to elevation. Whether we agree or disagree, the only way to find common ground to build, is to begin having the conversations! Looking forward to your feedback!
You remember when Kanye went viral telling Sway, “You don’t have the answers, Sway!"?
Well, maybe he did. And more importantly, maybe all of us do!
Let's talk about it!
-OHGI x Big Fish
The lack of masculinity and strength has our society backwards, but we have to recognize it's a cycle. Don’t' follow the cycle because you'll always be behind. The only way to get ahead is to stand on integrity and eventually that cycle will come back around. And when it does… Let's bring having proper principles, values and morals back in style.
-OHGI x Big Fish
Life is short. Put the negative stuff down and trust your actions and who you are that something more aligned with your purpose will come along. And when it does, take full advantage of the opportunity and give it your all. WIN!
Strong traditions are the key to establishing purpose-driven actions (customs) that align with the elevation of our family and loved ones. I'm thankful for the experience.
If you can't afford it, don't buy it! We have to get out of this mentality that we are always owed help and that someone should come to our aid when we don't feel like paying what we owe.
The relationship between a mentor and mentee present some of the most interesting dynamics in any relationship. Just like any other relationship, things can travel all along the spectrum from good, to great, to get me the hell out of here, all in the blink of an eye! So how do we make sure we are getting the most out of our mentor-mentee relationship and never allowing things to take a negative turn?... Good question! Let's dive on in!
When approaching any situation, the goal is to put ourselves in the best possible position to be successful. Whether there's a lot on the line in a pressure-packed situation, or we're the underdog, approaching the task with The Five C's will give us the best chance to take advantage of the opportunity by performing well, when the most is on the line.
We have allowed society to manipulate our minds and control our actions, causing us to fall into a Social Media Sunken Place.
-OHGI x Big Fish Podcast
I'm realizing more and more that we aren't trying to find solutions to our problems. For that, we have to actually acknowledge that we have problems. Sad to say, we'd rather avoid the acknowledgment because then we avoid putting pressure on ourselves to bring about change by stepping outside our comfort zone. Instead of trying to find solutions, we look for anything that will rationalize us staying the same!
In the wise words of Julius Campbell from Remember the Titans, "Attitude reflects leadership, Captain!" The leader sets the standard for the tribe, period.
Everybody wants freedom, however looking around at society, everybody isn't responsible enough to handle freedom! Is it better to have freedom and it lead to your downfall? Or to have structure and it lead to you flourishing? And of course, most people will say, we need to meet somewhere in the middle. But that seems to be the hardest place for any of us to ever meet... Your thoughts are welcomed and encouraged!
There's a huge distinction between FAMILY and people we are simply related to. Family is a team of committed members working towards a common goal. Relatives are just people you happen to be born amongst. There is a purpose with family, greater than any one individual, and a legacy for younger generations to carry on. Meanwhile relatives roam the world as individuals, as if they are on a journey by themselves. You choose!
How you answer this question, may impact the success or lack thereof you have in maximizing the opportunities before you! Choose carefully!
Happy 4th of July!
To Whom It May Concern: We will no longer be your puppets that you control on a string of emotions, we will no longer be moved by your empty promises, and we will no longer believe in your baseless lies. And oh yea, we don't care if your candidates are black either!
One of the most important things in life for us to strive for is Balance. Providing ourselves the best blend of the essential components to reach our optimal level of living. This will be different for everyone and can be extremely difficult for overachievers. However, like any other goal, it's a must we attack it head on. How's your Life Balance?!
Winners understand that all of us are more alike than not alike. Because of that, winners understand that to separate themselves from the competition, they have to chop away every day to enhance their intangibles and gain an edge. Losers think everyone is so different and they use those perceived differences to make excuses for why they come up short.
Are you a Winner or a Loser?... YOU decide!
If it’s a big enough goal, then we can’t be discouraged when we don’t succeed the first, second, or third time! Keep finding ways to improve and KEEP SWINGING!
Friends are people you like being around. A network is a group of people that can help you reach your goals and elevate in life. There's a big difference!
We have to be very careful about what we complain about! We tend to focus more on the things we want, rather than appreciate the things we have, and this can lead our future generations down a rough path.
If we have 80% of a pie, our complaints are often focused on the 20% that we don't have. This often causes us to speak on the 20%, while the 80% is neglected. For people listening to us, they only hear us complaining about the minority 20%. This leads to the individuals that we influence, shaping the majority of their reality and perspectives on something that was just a small part of our bigger picture.
There's nothing wrong with focusing on improving and concentrating on what we don't have yet, in order to constantly improve. However, we have to be responsible with how we convey this energy to those we influence. More work, less complaints!
Our greatest gift is that we are limitless beings. One of the most frustrating and saddest things is when we don’t move with a sense of urgency to fulfill our Purpose. Once we overcome our fear of not living in a comfortable state we are able to push ourselves to maximize our potential! -OHGI x Big Fish #BFS
Welcome to the first installment of our OHGI x Big Fish Morning Inspiration. Let’s elevate… on purpose! 🦈 The lens that we see ourselves through will either set boundaries and place shackles on our potential... Or free us to accomplish anything our minds can imagine. 💫 - OHGI x Big Fish #BFS
From pee wee football to playing in the most competitive sports league in the world (the NFL), there's always been one constant. Success or lack thereof has always been determined by the culture of our team. A winning culture means a winning team, and a losing culture means a losing team. Period. It's black and white, and this is what I love most about sports. Feelings don't matter. All that matters is the scoreboard at the end of the game, whose hand is raised at the end of the fight, and who's holding the trophy at the end of the season. Sports is perhaps our greatest demonstration of a result oriented competition. And as I stated before, especially at the highest level, culture is the most impactful intangible in determining outcomes. Perhaps the greatest example of this is the domination of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick's New England Patriots Dynasty. In the Patriot organization, there are no valid excuses, you "Do your job" and win, that's it. Now, how does all of this relate to Black/African-American/Indigenous Culture? Well, let's back our way into this. Let's first take a look at the state of our people and the results/outcomes we've produced. Not only are we consistently last in every category that is vital to our success, but things are rapidly getting worst. It's to the point where we either don't know or don't care that we are destroying ourselves and inherently our next generations. We are running a race faster than everybody, but just in the wrong direction! So since you're probably already upset with me for calling out our trash culture, let me ease up so we can figure out where we go from here to improve it! Well, similar to sports, the only way to change something is to acknowledge the problem and then take full accountability in fixing it. It's on us and only us. Because like it or not, nobody is coming to save us and lead us to glory. The good thing is, we have amazing talent and everything we need to turn this thing around! Enjoy the podcast and remember, let's elevate... on purpose! -DAC
