The creativity, the stamina, the swag - it just overflows on this team! Endless love to every member of the @soultrainonbway cast, crew, and dancers.

Everyone has a Soul Train story, and I hope you can see a piece of yours reflected in this show!

All aboard for The Hippest Trip! I can’t believe the Soul Train Musical kicks off previews weekend!!

Directing this show, written by my dear friend @domorisseau, has been such an inspiring, cathartic exercise in unapologetic Black joy.

I’m so proud to shout-out Kelley Girod, my Apollo colleague, and an amazingly gifted playwright!

THIS STRETCH OF MONTPELIER is beautiful, complex and absolutely moving.

The show is running until July 27th!

Congrats to @nhannahjones and the entire #1619Project team on 3 Emmy noms!

This journey has been such a gift - from reading the transformative editorial, to directing an episode of the docu-series, to hosting a talk-back at The Apollo.
