Thank you for all the birthday wishes 🙏🏽
Each year, I choose a theme, a North Star that grounds me and gives shape to the year ahead.
Last year’s theme was Good Trouble, inspired by the legacy of John Lewis. It was a year of necessary disruption, principled risk-taking, and reimagining what’s possible.
This year, the theme is Transcend.
To rise above the noise (there is a lot of it)
To think beyond the box and question why the box exists.
To break free from what no longer serves and walk with purpose into the future.
Whether in my personal life, in fatherhood, in public health and health care, or in how I show up for the world this season calls for clarity, courage, and elevation.
As Maya Angelou said “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
I’m not just aiming to do more. I’m aiming to be more, anchored in vision, grounded in values, and committed to impact.
Here’s to the next chapter. Let’s transcend.
