Black people, pay attention to a pattern that keeps repeating.

There's a situation unfolding right now around Unc, the man behind the Tendernism videos that helped put Destination Smokehouse on the map. For a long time, many people assumed Unc was the owner. 

That assumption sat unchallenged because it benefited the brand. His presence, warmth, and credibility built trust and brought people in.

Then Keith Lee showed up to review the spot and offered Unc a $5,000 tip on camera. Unc was pulled away by a handler. Shortly after, the actual owner started appearing more prominently in the videos once the upside became impossible to ignore.

I don't know Unc's actual arrangement. Maybe he has equity. Maybe he's been compensated fairly. Maybe this is exactly what he signed up for.

But whether or not his specific situation reflects exploitation, the fact that so many people immediately recognized a familiar pattern tells you everything.

Black cultural capital drives brand growth. Black presence creates trust and brings people in. Then when real money shows up, the lines that were never clearly drawn suddenly matter.

That pattern is why I originally focused on getting Black people into tech. When I started, the numbers were clear. Less than 4% of the tech workforce in Canada. Less than 7% in the U.S. Meanwhile, tech companies were using Black culture to drive adoption, relevance, and billion dollar valuations.

We drive attention and trust. Ownership rarely follows.

Many of us have lived some version of this. You become the bridge, the face, the credibility layer. And the moment real money shows up, someone reminds you where the line is.
Representation without equity is a trap. Visibility without ownership is fragile.

If you bring the audience, the trust, or the culture—demand clarity on ownership, equity, and compensation from day one. Don't wait until the money shows up to find out where you stand.

The conversation around Unc isn't about one man or one restaurant. It's about a system that keeps repeating itself because people keep pretending it's accidental.

Pay attention to the playbook. Protect yourself accordingly.

Stay Dangerous.

I wish it wasn’t so common for a Black person to hype themselves up, be proud of their work, or manage their emotions privately, and still have someone feel entitled to police it.

It happens everywhere. People just pretend it doesn’t.

Sorana Cirstea complained to the ref about Naomi Osaka cheering herself up between Cirstea’s serves. The ref said it was allowed. Cirstea still wasn’t satisfied and confronted Naomi directly.

Think about how insane that is.

Naomi gave herself a pep talk between serves. Players do that constantly. That’s literally part of competing at the highest level.

But when she does it, it becomes a problem worth stopping the match over.

The irony is sitting right there. Tennis holds Novak Djokovic in the highest regard, a player legendary for managing his mental state on court. Self talk. Hype. Emotional releases. That’s praised as mental toughness and championship mentality. Nobody calls the ref. Nobody tells him to tone it down.

Naomi does a version of the same thing and suddenly it’s “too much.”

That’s the experience of Black women in a nutshell. Joy gets treated like provocation. Confidence gets treated like arrogance. Taking pride in your work gets reframed as attitude.

I see it in professional spaces all the time. Black professionals celebrate a win and someone says they are making others feel bad. They take credit for work they actually did and it turns into a lecture about humility and being a team player. Then the same behavior from someone else is called leadership.

Naomi was within the rules. The ref confirmed it. The issue was never the rule.

It was the comfort level people expect Black women to maintain for everyone else.

Naomi doesn’t owe anyone smallness. Neither do you.

Stay Dangerous.
