Wealth Looks Different Over Here

Raised beds, real talk, and why we need to leverage AI before it’s gated.

Let’s talk about wealth.
Not the internet version — the sovereign version.
The version rooted in land, alignment, ownership, and real community.

Here’s what wealth looked like for me this week:

🌱 Raised beds + fall planting prep.
I got my trellises up, mapped out my garden, and put in the work to eat from my own soil.
Nothing flashy — just food security, ecosystem design, and proof that slow growth is still growth.
Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is plant something that feeds you later.
It’s what sovereignty actually looks like — infrastructure.

🎙️ Released the episodes of my first podcast guest!
I broke the interview into 3 bite-sized parts — one 15-minute episode at a time — to keep it consistent and digestible. But if you’re more of a long-form listener, the full interview is up now on YouTube


We went deep on legacy, money, and what it means to build beyond survival.

✨ I was also a guest on TWO other podcasts this week.
One was about money, one about AI.
Because here’s what I believe:
The future of wealth is land and software.
And AI might not be freely available to everyone for much longer — which is why I’m leveraging it now, while it’s still accessible, so we have a choice later.

I’ll be on more podcasts coming this month — I’ll keep sharing the links as they drop.

Why does this matter?
Because wealth isn’t always money.
Sometimes it’s visibility, alignment, practice, sovereignty, and momentum.

My question to you:

What does wealth look like in your world right now?
Not your highlight reel. Your real life.
Reply and tell me. I’d love to know.

And if this hit home, forward it to someone else building real wealth — not just the aesthetic.

Talk soon,
Makeda
