here’s an update on keith porters case from organizers and relatives:
1. LAPD took six months to produce a report. They refused to name his killer
2. community members and journalists with the LA Times exposed Keith Porter’s killer themselves. The killer’s name is Brian Palacios
She was Lynched. Her name is Juliana Nzita, she went missing and found Lynched at a White church. Sixteen years old, she had a future ahead of her, she was kind and honest, and White people decided that because of her skin color, she didn't deserve life. Stop White supremacists!
Sterling K. Brown talks about why he chose to be part of the film “Is God Is”
“So there’s the macro and the micro. I love Black women, and I love seeing Black women win, right? I thought this was an incredibly creative script, something different and new, and I think that we, as a community, have been asking for creative and new stories, right? And I feel like the more diverse the landscape of stories are that we get to tell, the more people will stop putting us into a box in terms of what a Black movie is, what a Black story is. We are everything, and so the opportunity to do everything is something that excites me. Aleshea (Harris) wrote a play, then she adapted the play, and she directed the play, and I think she did so brilliantly. I also love the idea that Black women get a chance to be messy in this film, like hella messy. I feel like oftentimes we’re asked, in many stories, to be voices of reason. Sort of the sensible side component of a larger story, and that’s not the case in this. That is exciting to me.”

Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC?
Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program.
If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them
One of these people is me 👩🏽🦱back when we had Black TV shows on air
I used to opine that all the Black comedy shows were segregated on one night,
but now there’s no nights & that sucks more 🫠
If this is the case- you can call, visit, and/or email the theater and request that they get it. Tell them that you and your friends want to see it there.
It actually works, it's proven. We need you to do this. Theaters are guessing at what to show, they take requests seriously.
