This is why #albertasnotes exists!! Thank you Danielle for your inspirational words. Representation matters and you never forget that even though you carry such a heavy load you do it with grace and dignity. Give this woman her damn Lillies right now!!!
I was in tears saying this. Thank you to our director, crew, showrunners, cast and most importantly our writers. Y’all wrote this storyline with such care and precision. Thank you for giving me this monumental showcase. Tonight we solve Alberta’s murder on @GhostsCBS tune in.
Damn I’m late on this but another #albertasnotes for y’all today. This past Sunday 4/30 was International Jazz Day. Jazz has had, and continues to have, a meaningful impact on all parts of our culture not just music. #ghostscbs #InternationalJazzDay
