My relationship w/ my script - How many scenes, characters have I crossed out? Keep thinking bout @ava answer 2 @saxaphoneliam question: how 2 stop thinking you’re writing’s bad? Then “We Gon Be Alright” pops in2 my head. So, dedicating it 2 all writers. Don’t put down your pen.

I can’t stop and I will not stop documenting stories, our stories. We should - we must - make it our business to document and tell our own stories. They are beautiful, eclectic, intelligent, powerful and necessary. #Documentary #filmmaker #diaspora #blackgirlmagic #Haiti

Can’t sleep. Gotta be up in a few hours. Shooting 1st doc. Can’t count how many times I’ve gone over my questions. Feeling scared, nervous, excited, inspired, proud, humbled. Asking myself, how/what would @JulieDash @ReginaKing do? #Leap #yesshecan #blackgirlmagic #artist

[Madafi Pierre @madafipierre]

Just went over my check list with my DP. She’s smart, adventurous, calm, quick on her feet. I’m shooting my 1st docu this weekend... because it’s time, and because #whynot ? In preparing for this project I’ve asked myself : how/what would @DaRealWordBlaze @ava @LenaWaithe do?

[Madafi Pierre @madafipierre]

Reg Cathey, 1958-2018. Not only a fine, masterful actor -- but simply one of the most delightful human beings with whom I ever shared some long days on set. On wit alone, he could double any man over and leave him thinking. Reg, your memory is a great blessing.
