There are dreams… and then there are moments that feel as though they were written in the stars long before you ever arrived. ✨👑🩵🩵

To become a @disney Disney Princess was already beyond anything my younger self could have imagined. But to now stand among the beautiful legacy of Disney Princesses, to know that I am forever a part of this magical family, is something I will never take for granted.

And there is an even deeper meaning for me.

To have been the first Black Cinderella, and to know that the door we walked through helped make the kingdom wider for the beautiful Black princesses who would come after me, is one of the greatest honors of my life.

What Whitney Houston @whitneyhouston and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella gave us was bigger than a movie. We showed a generation of little Black girls that the glass slipper could fit them, too. That they could be soft and powerful. Regal and magical. Seen, celebrated, chosen, and centered in the fairytale.

And then came more history. @anikaaroundtheworld Anika Noni Rose gave us the beautiful Princess Tiana. Halle Bailey @hallebailey brought a new generation under the sea as Ariel.

And today, I get to look around at this ever-expanding kingdom and feel the magnitude of what representation can become when one door opens… and we keep holding it open for one another. 👑🩵🩵🩵

From Cinderella at 18 to Queen Cinderella today, this journey continues to feel like divine poetry.

I once stepped into a glass slipper.

I could never have imagined the footprints it would leave behind.

Thank you, Disney, for allowing me to live inside the magic, and for letting that magic keep growing. ✨🏰👑🩵🩵🩵

Forever grateful. Forever Cinderella. 🩵🩵🩵

This is an official Republican Party account attacking the Muslim mayor of New York merely for saying the word “inshAllah” (God willing). It’s difficult to overstate just how extremely and dangerously Islamophobic the GOP has proudly become. Be nice if top Dems called it out!

My childhood friend died from sickle cell disease. She took her last breath right in front of me when we were only 13 years old. Knowing that a cure is now changing lives fills my heart with joy. May future generations never have to endure what so many families have suffered.

SZA on artists using AI in music:

“I don't wanna work with anyone who uses AI in music, anyone who uses Suno, or any of these f*ck ai fuck generative software to create false sovcals into art in general, kiss my ass, unfollow me right now and never fucking talk to me again.”

One of these people is me 👩🏽‍🦱back when we had Black TV shows on air

I used to opine that all the Black comedy shows were segregated on one night,
but now there’s no nights & that sucks more 🫠

I would only correct this video by saying that stealing isn't outside the bounds of capitalism- its the foundation by which capitalism was founded and by which it continues to maintain itself.

I Love Boosters- in theaters May 22nd!
