@filmiliarface The Women of Brewster Place: My 1st experience seeing ALL black women break barriers ON SCREEN... positive intro to LGBTQ+, levels of grief & genuine sisterhood, motherhood, acceptance, and how to tear down a wall! cc: @Oprah, @MsLynnWhitfield, @JackeeHarry, @IAmCicelyTyson

Shoutout to black people who love black people

@KevCoke6 And before because I refuse to watch everyone post updates about getting ready, their photos before leaving the house, only to see the same updates on person but for a fee. Also 1 of 6 black ppl out of 300+ kids. I pass very much thank you. 🫠

I’m Lynn Whitfield in Brewster Place, but moving 4 now. “Robot mode,” as hospice referred to me today. But also - who else was gon take these gut punch convos like a soldier? Only broke today b/c… I needed a damn hug. A comforting squeeze and prayer in my ear.

[S. Johnson @SamanhattanPR]

In this stage of anticipatory grief I keep asking myself where is my “Brewster Place?” This is what I mean. Who is my Oprah?

[IV. @ivourth]

woke up thinking about that scene in Women of Brewster Place where Lynn Whitfield’s character was so stuck and heavy in grief that Oprah’s character had to hug her real tight and pat her back to help her let it out. literally one of the most beautiful scenes in cinema history.

Tomorrow I’m going to have the toughest convo w/ family since delivering my Gran’s diagnosis in August w/ immediate family including my grandfather. I’ve stood as tall as I could at 5’2 through it all. The # of times hospice has tried to hire me (me: i only do this for her)

[S. Johnson @SamanhattanPR]

Our agency’s 5yr anniversary is tomorrow and it feels a little like Christmas inside (especially for our co-founders)… but I feel Christmas Eve stressed low key. Yet and still, so invested + so proud of all they’ve built… so thankful to be a part of the journey.

Note to Self: There are good days and then there are God days. There’s no such thing as a bad day as long as you remember even on the “not so good days”, God is still in control.

“You gave that I might live. You gave that I might be set free… What a marvelous thing you’ve done. Some folks see my faults. Lord you see my accomplishments… You also see my finish. No, not half done, every battle already won. It’s Marvelous.”

[S. Johnson @SamanhattanPR]

They do - hella side bars. Bc ima side bar. My coworkers are going to TEXT via phone and leave voice notes bc that’s just how it is. I’ll huddle in a second!

@RGA umm slack threads exist

[Luke @ how to win @how_to_win__]

@RGA Did this idea come from a workshop in a small room?

[S. Johnson @SamanhattanPR]

😩😅🤣

@RGA

[S. Johnson @SamanhattanPR]

meh. coworkers do this anyway just in side chats bc no one thinks it’s ok to “riff.”

[TLB @Middlerforevz]

@RGA Yep. That dusty, expensive office space is definitely in need of a good “riffing”. Rally the troops!

[JB @jb_atypic]

@RGA In such unprecedented times we never could have precedented this.

Cleanse your heart, pray for forgiveness, and get some therapy.

@MF_Greatest Someone started a channel called “super top secret,” from leadership recently. 🥴

Old Faves: With Me + The One 👌🏾

[S. Johnson @SamanhattanPR]

My laughter, my casual jokes, my showing up… it’s forced to feel anything normal, but I feel like crushed glass - completely shattered to the core.

[S. Johnson @SamanhattanPR]

I wanted to knock out her bucket list, but she refused to ever write one, (probably b/c she wanted a new house w/ less stairs + knew my grandad wasn't w/ it😓) but found out she'd never had a massage in 80yrs of her ENTIRE LIFE... so sis got a massage. Thanks @edance08 🙏🏾❤️

[S. Johnson @SamanhattanPR]

It feels low key passive aggressive, but now I'm just "glaaaaad about iiiiit." (sang that in my BEST gospel tenor tone of voice)

[S. Johnson @SamanhattanPR]

It's such an honor to pamper and care for her daily, though. Sis been knew. I found a text this AM that sums up in the "Gran's Grands" chat - why she "picked," me.. as the fam sometimes likes to imply (my mama too).
