went from one cookie shop to over 1,000 locations in under a decade , not because the product was better, but because the decisions were.

When demand outpaced their systems, they didn’t chase growth.
They built control.

That’s the difference between scaling and stalling. Welcome to the Scaling Moment - More to come.

🎓 Grateful. Focused. Still Climbing.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the and for awarding me a $2,500 scholarship toward my Doctor of Business Administration at Georgia State University.

This support means more than people realize. My DBA is fully paid out of pocket — a real sacrifice, but one I’ve committed to because I believe deeply in the future I’m building. This journey has stretched me, challenged me, and demanded consistency on days when it would’ve been easier to tap out. But I’m still here. Still investing. Still pushing toward that May 2027 finish line.

At the end of the day, this degree isn’t just about me.
It’s about being of greater value to minority entrepreneurs, small businesses, and the communities we serve. It’s about building systems, knowledge, and capacity so our businesses can scale sustainably and strategically.

This scholarship helps lighten the load, and I’m genuinely thankful.
If anyone is aware of scholarship opportunities, grants, or programs that support doctoral students doing work in entrepreneurship, ecosystems, or minority business growth, please feel free to share. Every bit of support accelerates the mission.

Thank you again to the and for believing in the impact I’m working toward. The marathon continues, and I’m committed to finishing strong.

Dear Comedy,

You were my first language before I even knew how to spell feelings.
My first currency before I understood money.
My first armor when the world got loud.
You were the passcode that opened rooms I had no business being in.
You were how I made friends, how I made peace, how I made meaning.

I used to think I was just “being funny.”
But looking back, I see I was learning how to survive.
You taught me how to flip pain into punchlines,
awkward into art,
pressure into presence.
You let me walk into school hallways like they were Madison Square Garden tunnels,
talking trash like Jordan,
but smiling like I knew something everybody else didn’t.

There were seasons where you carried me more than prayer, more than plans, more than pride.
You were the laugh inside the tears,
the joke I whispered to myself when nobody else was looking.
When life got heavy, you gave me air.

And now
all these years later
I stepped on a stage and said your name out loud.

My first set wasn’t about going viral, or “being a comedian.”
It was a tribute.
A thank you.
A love letter from the kid who didn’t know how else to say “I made it through.”

I don’t know if I’ll chase this forever,
or if this was our “remember that time?” story.
But I do know this:

Comedy saved my life.
And I’ll always be grateful.

With love, respect,
Future Dr Lott 🎤

Social capital is the BEST currency
Not money, not titles, not even skills because all of that fades. But the people who show up for you, who celebrate you, who pour into you? That’s the real wealth.

This birthday reminded me of that in a powerful way. My heart was so full watching my girls and my nieces dancing for me, reminding me of when I was young, performing for my grandparents at their anniversary. Full circle moments like that are priceless.

Growing up, we had the Cosby Show as a picture of family kids laughing, performing, adding to the story. Seeing my children live that out reminded me that these memories are legacy. They shape who they are and give them a foundation money can’t buy.

Scripture says: “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.” (Psalm 127:3). That verse hit different this year. Especially for Black kids, being surrounded by love, laughter, and family is resistance, healing, and joy all at once.

I’m deeply grateful for everyone who came through, for the love, for the energy even those not pictured here. God has blessed me beyond measure with people who want to be here, who choose to do life with me. That’s not something I take for granted.

Here’s to 39, and here’s to carrying this fullness into 40.
(thank you to my beautiful amazing smart super daughter London and my two necies Cydnee and Harper)
