Wayne Brady and Billy Porter are a match made in heaven 🤩 The actor and comedian, 54, and the Tony-winning 'Kinky Boots' star, 56, are starring as a married couple in a new production of 'La Cage aux Folles' together on Broadway. The pair are almost too charming together 💖

Sandile Ngidi has translated Molly Bloom's soliloquy into isiZulu. Big ups. I'd love to read the whole thing, i just heard the reading of it. Things like these go unnoticed in this country, like that brother who translated baudelaire into isiZulu. James Joyce is proud, brother.

[Zawadi Yamungu @ZYamungu]

Throughout the years I have learned so much about presentation and alignment, and respect is the basis of it all. For me to be able to step on that stage I had to think and respect everything in , around , beyond and before me , to know that I stand to represent and all I have to do is respectfully surrender to the intention set out way before me. I am so grateful ☺️

👗 Oh @bathini_africa I feel your journey and love in each piece, the process of bringing the fabric together, the intention to make us feel seen just covers me so beautifully thank you so much for your amazing hands 👏🏾✨

📸 @sharp_fede _fede your gentleness in capturing and directing just to make sure one is comfortable and natural humbles me, thank you for so much.

@mela_mtimande for forever offering to share your skills even when you don’t have to , you did my face with so much love and I respect you and love you so much 🫵🏾❤️

@akumagency and @stevedyermusic I will always sing praise to you saying yes to this work , saying yes to me , saying yes to us and honouring Mam’Busi with so much respect ✊🏾 once again Siyabonga ✨👏🏾

Having homophobic parents isn't the issue. Expecting me to tolerate or spend time around them is. I've already cut homophobic family members out of my own life. Why would I dismantle those boundaries for yours?
