Giving @JanetJackson her flowers 🌹 Celebrating 40 years of Control and an era that changed my life forever. Watching Janet fully step into her power and creative voice during this time was such a beautiful experience. So many incredible memories from working together. Also want to give a huge shoutout to Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for their brilliance on the album, and to all the amazing dancers who were part of this chapter. With love and gratitude ❣️
i can’t stand a bitch that’s never wrong, and that’s quick to get violent with their language if they disagree. even if i agree with you most of the time. people are way too comfortable being condescending, disrespectful, and petulant to strangers or quasi associates
always been a dream to work with the legend eric johnson and @essence!! had so much fun experimenting with the team on these looks (many of them low key era-defining). one of my fav shoots ever!
also, fun fact: after a full day on set, I went across town to pull an all-nighter with neva to shoot the ‘contact’ video 🙃 #ravenvaults

I’ve actually abandoned https://t.co/PI5oRJ6Vc0 at this point. As a journalist, I’m not the intended audience, it seems.
Now, I take my audio recording and put it in Slack. Slack transcribes it pretty quickly and it’s a godsend 🙏🏾
✨Some exciting news✨ After spending 2+ years at LAist writing fun, impactful stories, producing podcasts and even taking home some awards, I’m now in a season of exploring new opportunities — freelance, part-time and full-time.
