The world I've built is quite stressfully complicated

...and so utterly brilliant.

If I do say so myself 🥹🪄

This is painful to watch. Yet, I am proud of actor Christian Keyes for revealing that he was sexually harassed & assaulted by an industry insider that he recorded offering him money for immoral sexual acts, but he declined. I pray for his healing & justice. #ChristianKeyes

I am constantly amazed at how much people want fame and “importance” but aren’t interested in doing the actual work.

They want to be a notable writer but won’t write well and won’t read, a notable actor but won’t study films.

Feels like a displacement of priorities.

Excited to gawk at the magic that will be the stage adaptation of my essay “ My Body Betrays Me, Again” by Joseph Obel on November 21st at FemLab, The Mall. The ways in which words can move from one medium to another is astounding and always a wonder to bear witness to! 🤩
