I'm not sure her purpose was to make us dislike anyone. One doesn't possess that kind of power. However, in terms of lived experience, do you think it was fair to put that on the table?

I just KNEW I’d get the chance to direct an episode in season 5 but God had other plans. Still in the running for tv directorship in ‘24.
Come thru God.

Also, grade school racism isn't a joke or unaffecting. I experienced it and it's informed how and who I trust. I hate to see that discounted. Childhood trauma is hard to get over.
Keenan Anderson didnt flee from the police nor was he resisting arrest—HE flagged down the police for help after getting into a car accident. Regardless, FLEEING THE POLICE/NOT COMPLYING WITH THEM IS NOT LICENSE FOR THEM TO KILL YOU. We have to stop legitimizing this police state
After over a decade and making films, writing plays, pitching tv shows, Emmy nominations, and general meeting after general meeting - I got my first Hollywood feature film writing job!
It’s THAT hard!

The saddest part of the
#Oscars2022
nonsense is that Black women feel so unprotected that they view what
@willsmith
did as protection.
That was toxic.
Not protection.

you can always tell who was the corny niggas who finally got money cause the first thing they normally do is shit on Black women who wasn’t giving em no play…
You’re still a writer, director, producer, editor, or actor even if you have a day job that pays the bills.
You’re defined by your craft, not by monetary compensation.

Hahahaha!!! A loooooooonnnnnggggg time ago. Now it's either a platform for the wealthy or a some made up festival using poor artist work to make money and pocket their influence.
Pitching my first animated series ever tomorrow. Had you told me I'd be crafting a Black narrative in the animated space last year, I would have rebuked you in the name of the father, his son, and his cousins.
Moral of the story: Remain open.
Jordan Peele's "Nope" is tragically under appreciated. It's a gorgeously thoughtful film, for and about filmmakers. It's an extremely well-balanced narrative that will age well. Loved that film.
Today.
I wrote a beautiful scene.
Accidentally kicked the computer cord.
Didn't press save.
Lost the scene.
Accepted God's will.
I rewrote the scene.
It's even better.
All is well.

Excellent idea. But, I’ve created a sizzle because executives couldn’t see the world through a cultural lens. Black screenwriters need damn near every tool available for our visions to be fully realized.
The side effects of narcissistic abuse are many and wide-ranging. Gonna take every bit of strength I have to get through my work over the next couple of months.
Settling boundaries is necessary but not easy. Hold onto your light and remain firm, while also respecting the boundaries others set for you.
Real shit.
Nashville was given the Nickname ‘Music City’ by England's Queen Victoria after receiving the Fisk
University Jubilee Singers in her court in 1873.
The group, made of mostly those formely enslaved, put Nashville on the musical map.
Was planning to do a huge birthday bash, but having choosing to take a solo vacation instead. I'm so grateful for this new mind frame of self-care.
