It is long overdue to do the right thing. I’m doing this for me, for my family, and for my country.
I've resigned as a member of the reddit board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate, + I will use future gains on my Reddit stock to serve the black community, chiefly to curb racial hate, and I’m starting with a pledge of $1M to

The reason I stay winning is because I'm relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do — including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter.
Days after our baby girl was born, I kissed my wife goodbye before surgery and neither of us knew if she would be coming back.
We just wanted her to survive—10 months later, she's in the

I'm grateful to report our house is teaming with love: a happy & healthy newborn girl and happy & healthy mama. Feeling grateful.

Usually people pitch me their startup when they spot me out in the wild.
This last week, they all want me to pass along a message to my wife.
Can't say I hate it.
These just went up on alongside I-10 into Palm Springs.

Words can't describe how liberating it is (as a career-driven, ambitious AF business leader) to have a wife who has already accomplished so much -- especially when you consider where she started and what she overcame to accomplish it.
Just applied to join 4 private Natural Hair facebook groups. I hope they don't auto-reject my application when they see my profile photo 😂
I told them it was to keep getting better at doing my daughter's hair.
How did 6 years and 2 kids go by so fast?? I'm trying to be a better man every day. Trying to stop and take more moments to be grateful. Thank you for giving me the ultimate gift: your love and your partnership in creating the most perfect two humans I've ever met. Happy…
They asked for moms & dads to volunteer to be in Jr's ballet recital and she got mad at me for showing up to the first rehearsal dressed like this because "papa that's not serious."

Andrew Yang plans to announce that he will use campaign funds to distribute $1,000 a month to 10 people for the next year. The move raises questions about possible campaign finance violations.
This is why people are mad.
Retail investors don't get this privilege.
When 2008 happened -- the *public* picked up the tab.
But social media was nascent back then.
The world has changed.
The people are connected.

Every time I step outside to get a coffee this week, the city is reminding me how much they love my wife, how she's changed their life. 🗽 I see you. Thank you for your stories and energy.
I've seen over the last 7 years how much y'all love my wife—what she means to so many, worldwide. It's unlike anything I've ever seen. Plenty of folks have told me "how Reddit changed their life," but the scale & impact of "how Serena changed my life" stories absolutely dwarfs it
My dad sent me this photo today. He got this shirt from St. Vincent's Hospital when I was born and has kept it in his dresser ever since. He never told me this! Let's normalize dads being sentimental about their children!!
In Boy Scouts, we were taught to always leave the campground better than we found it.

Yes, there are other polluters; yes, it's ambitious AF; but we're Americans, we lead.
People gotta be more honest about how marriage isn't bliss without work. I think it's even more work when it's interracial marriage (and most of the time it's on me, tbh). We need more sunlight these days, not less. Appreciate S for leading per usual.

to bring a BIG question to the dinner table every night; I promise I'll always answer it if I know, or (as is often the case) we'll look it up together. This night, she asked "who was the first artist?" so we got to look up cave paintings together.

It's fascinating to me that this is one of the most powerful brands & communities in the world right now and most people have no idea. Insititutions are already toppled and don't even realize it.
