El Mencho is dead.
Mexican news shared yesterday.
But raising a family here is what made it real.

The city closed
Cars being burned
Buses aflame on roads.

Then silence...

Waiting.
Watching.
Preparing.

My safe place 24-hours ago was now:

People running in airports
Families stuck outside
pinned in place.

A new feeling set in.
I was living on the edge.
Any moment it could pop off.

Yesterday... It popped.

While damage was mainly commercial
A message was sent to everyone
that the cartel is present

In Mexico...

While the people are kind.
And the weather is largely ideal
the safety trade-off here is very real.

Not that Oakland was heaven...
Nor America universally peaceful.
But it's a violence I was familiar with.

This was new for me.

Fortunately...

My family is fine
The birds are chirping
& neighbors are laughing again.

But I've changed.

This was a moment for me.
Made me consider our safety plans 
And how to keep my family away from harm

Should things pop again.

Thanks for the well-wishes and kind messages
We are staying glued to news updates
And keeping our boys happy.

Perhaps

No matter where we live
We find ourselves
concerned.

CEO & Founder, Black Executive Men

Sometimes I feel like quitting BEM.
I’m not supposed to say that, right?
Not because I’ve lost hope…

It’s the founder’s challenge of:

Walking into the unknown.
Bringing your people with you.
Without a gaurantee of the outcome.

That pressure alone makes me reconsider.

Knowing there’s a solution there…
And using your might to find it.
But being unable to see it.

That’s where the BEM network comes in.

After another 3am night
Falling asleep with crystal clarity 
Then waking up with abundant confusion

I turned away from ChatGPT advice
Which affirmed ALL my thoughts

And turned to BEM members
for real life feedback.

In a few hours I had multiple brothers 
on the phone. Helping me pressure 
test my ideas and real scenarios.

Giving feedback only they would have 
as senior executives, entrepreneurs,
investors and board directors.

End of the day I had leaders from across
the US committed to leading 
our 2026 forums.

Clarity on all four BEMs pillars…

And relief that it would be alright.

This is what BEM is in my life.

Realtime business support
On the challenges that
rack my mind.

With no shame, blame, or risk…

Just support. 

I’ve won the day.

I’m back to feeling at ease…

And tonight, will get to bed early.

2026: CEO in Mexico

I started off with $40 sessions
to 28-year-old corporate 
brothers battling:

- Depression
- Anxiety
- Fears

And while healing their traumas…

I learned about:

- Private equity 
- Corporate culture 

This new world fascinated me

And for the next ten years I studied it.

trying to solve the big mystery

That most clients faced.

“Being the only”

Today…

of senior executives

in private group forums

on pressing corporate issues

And make a great living from it.

While I changed:

- Countries
- Modalities

My mission remains the same.

Las Vegas. Tuxedos. Neon outside the window.
Last year, I organized a private dinner for Black Executive Men.
Toward the end of the evening, three execs pulled me aside and pressed me.

“Why did you bring us here?”

We had the room.

- The food
- The drinks
- The photos

The stated goal was bold:

Decide the future of corporate Black men.

I’d plastered it all across LinkedIn.

They’d flown in.

But something was missing.

There was laughter - but no depth.
Conversation - but no weight.
Proximity - but no gravity.

The room grew restless.

Called to the moment.

In real time, I made an audible.

- I circled the room.
- Shifted the energy.
- Reset the conversation.

The tone changed instantly.

- Smiles faded.
- Glasses lowered.
- Postures shifted inward.

The pressure was on.
Eyes locked in.
I stepped in.

An electric group dialogue formed.

Naming our individual challenges and opportunities.

We decided Black men in senior leadership were stronger together.

Decades of operating as lone wolves came to an end.

The BEM Forum was born.

A private room where Black men in senior leadership convene for enterprise, capital, and legacy conversations.

Where decisions are pressure-tested, blind spots identified, and collaboration is expected.

This year, we expand.

Convening in Dallas, Chicago, and New York to discuss AI, talent leadership, and board governance.

We accomplished what we came for.

The pressure lifted.

We left aligned.

And left the lone wolves behind.

For those aligned, explore membership.

Black men in senior leadership
don’t need more contacts.
They need better rooms.

- Small rooms
- Cross-industry
- Senior executives

Rooms where:

- Small talk absent
- Authority is standard
- Dialogue carries weight

That’s the difference.
