I want to buy my grandfather’s building, which was my childhood home. Not today, not tomorrow, I’m just putting that energy out there 🙏🏾

@JLBarrow @mfdash @fromoldharlem @Starr_Rocque For clarity I changed my name to my mother’s maiden name to honor my grandfather & gave my wife the option to change with me. I had the idea for a few years & wanted to wait for a wife so we could do process together—is she chose to

The Yelp reviews of your work are just as important (if not more) as the work itself. #StayHumble

#MalcolmAndMarie just proves that trailer editors deserve Oscar nominations too. Cause sometimes them 90 seconds > 90 minutes

What if the reason why they’re no other kids in Westview is because Wanda has them all held hostage & that’s why the towns people say they do everything “for the children” (that ain’t nobody seen) #WandaVision That or she sold their souls to the 👿 for Vis

Sometimes the solution isn’t the answer that’s needed.

Finally got to see #SylviesLove I appreciate that this film got made as we need more positive depictions of the Black experience but I’m not in love with HOW the story came together. A few flaws & tons of questions but I support #BlackLove

Michelle looking like a straight up superhero. Yo @MarvelStudios can we cast her in something? Lol

@PhotosByRome I was surprised when I woke up and saw all the slander. The first crop of DC films have been highly forgettable and require multiple watches. Suicide, SvB, JL & WW. but WW84 was just 80s fun. Way better lighting too. 😂

[Anslem Samuel Rocque @iamARocque]

I actually enjoyed #WW84 (minus the immoral issue of Pine’s return). I’ve seen the original WW several times but can never recall what happens. Didn’t even remember Pine died 🤷🏾‍♂️ So not a fan of WW but know why it’s important. Still rockin w/ WW84 more

Fear is a necessary part of life. Panic is not.

Glad to hear my wife happy

If NBA players are forced to play but still want to make a statement I have a suggestion: At the start of every game place the ball at center court after the jump ball and eveyone (bench& coaches too) takes a knee in silence for 8 mins & 46 seconds.
