A great example of colorism is to believe I can be compared to anyone. I’m the youngest talk show host ever. The first Black woman to star in her own show on Nickelodeon, & the youngest & first Black Cinderella on broadway. I’m an incomparable talent. Baby, THIS, is Keke Palmer.
@SPBPHD @SonofBaldwin I agree!!! This has been stuck with me since the first time I read Sula, like nothing else I have ever read. Her ability to express the most complex feelings in such a vivid yet simple way is astounding.
surya bonaly, the only olympic figure skater to land a backflip on one leg. she won silver at worlds 1994 instead of standing on the podium, she stood next to it because she believed she had been robbed of first place.
It’s been over a month since Ma’Khia’s death. People went from blaming her for her own murder to acting like she never existed. The foster care system failed her. The police who she called for help failed her. And the community failed to show up for her. She deserved better.

Flint, MI has been without clean water for 7 years.
The effects of the water crisis will be felt for generations.
And the worst part of it all...
Flint is not the only city with toxic water.
It is one of the hundreds of cities across the country with bad water.

I wrote a piece about Jagged Little Pill and nonbinary erasure in the theater industry. This is a very personal piece for me and an issue that I care deeply about. Thank you to @AyannaPrescod and @wjmcentee for publishing this and being such great editors.

The crises are still very much with us. We must decide where we stand. The moment for change is now. NYC can choose to be on the right side of history and assume our place in leading toward a new future for our Black & Brown community.
