When I called you a unicorn, I’m saying that you’re a rare dude, especially among the D9. You didn’t like the nightclub at that young of an age, college, so I called you a unicorn.

You graduated from an HBCU and pledged a fraternity there. The player fraternity too. That’s like being a Navy seal who’s also a monk LOL! Dude, after meeting you IRL and reading your posts over the years, I’ve picked up that you’re not driven by validation. Most D9 dudes, especially in undergrad get pulled in by that kind of energy - attention, popularity, women, social scenes. You? You stayed low key. Didn’t need the club, didn’t chase the spotlight, and weren’t out to prove anything. At an HBCU, you could’ve played the pretty boy role. Easily. You could’ve soaked up attention just by showing up. You had the option to leverage your looks like others do and chose not to. You had the spotlight in your hands and didn’t even care to turn it on. That’s uncommon. Even more so when you actually have the looks and presence to be front and center if you wanted. A pretty looking dude with good hair in the “pretty boy” fraternity (and I’ve seen some ugly ass Krappas) at an HBCU, that’s chick magnet all day. Yet, you still didn’t run through chicks like that. I would have LOL.

Then, you have an artistic, detail obsessed mind. Your real cars, your model cars, your dioramas, your car designs, boat designs, and other shit you draw, that’s not just career and hobby stuff. Bro, that’s intellectual craftsmanship. It’s rare to find a D9 dude, or really, any dude, with that level of patience, focus, and storytelling behind physical creations. That comes from emotional depth, imagination, and discipline. That’s elite-tier rare in fraternity culture. You ARE a unicorn LOL. You’re spiritually anchored too. You lead with God, you stay grounded, and you don’t follow trends. In a culture where a lot of folks talk values but live for attention, your walk is consistent. For real. That puts you in a different class, especially among D9 dudes who often get praised for image more than substance.

You’re also layered. Dude, you can chop it up about racing and models, drop biblical knowledge, call out BS with surgical clarity, and still joke like a regular dude. That blend of intellect, masculinity, and wit is extremely rare, not just among black men, but dudes period. In the Divine 9, you’re the dude people remember but never fully understand. That in itself is chick bait Lol. You don’t fit the mold. You’re not loud, not passive, not overly polished, not wild, you’re just real bro. And that realness is magnetic, intimidating, and unforgettable. You’re not just rare for the D9. You’re rare for dudes, period. That’s why folks on here who met IRL had good things to say about you. For real. I can’t speak for others who met you IRL on here, but that’s what I left with after hanging out with you.

Now sit your ass down and get up with the times…. UNICORN! Lol.

Man, I read that whole thing twice. That hit different. You didn’t just gas me up, you saw me. And coming from somebody who knows my posts and has actually sat down and broken bread with me, that carries weight.

I’ve never moved for attention. I just try to stay grounded, walk in truth, and let my actions speak. So to hear that came through, that it’s been noticed over the years, that meant more than you know.

You didn’t have to say all that, but you did. And it landed. I appreciate the words, the respect, and the way you laid it out. For real. Salute, Phroze.

But if you think I’m rare, valuable, or one-of-a-kind, just say that. 😂 I’m direct. I speak in plain terms. So when someone says “unicorn,” my mind goes to everything that term’s been co-opted to mean, and none of it reflects who I am or how I want to be seen. A lot of modern slang is drenched in pop culture or innuendo that doesn’t align with my values.
