Almost three years ago, my aunts gave me a box of screenplays that would change my life. They were written by my late Uncle Galen and drawn from his real life. A life I never knew about.

I'm so excited to share Galen's story with you. 🧡

The final episode of Magnificent Jerk is out. So grateful that @mayasugarman and her family shared their heartbreak, vulnerability, and love for someone who was nearly forgotten by Hollywood. What a journey.

Been listening to this show for years. So fucking stoked to be on it with @mayasugarman

[Maya Lin Sugarman @mayasugarman]

@MaraDavis Thanks, Mara! So happy to hear you loved the first two eps!

[Maya Lin Sugarman @mayasugarman]

@acrylicleaf Good question! I think it would be fun either way :) but it might be interesting to watch the movie once you've heard the first four episodes of the show.

As someone who has been living alone during this pandemic, I loved reading this piece by @nnekamcguire (with beautiful collages by @mayasugarman) about just the opposite — living with another person.

[Maya Lin Sugarman @mayasugarman]

@palewire thank you! I'm going to spend some time on some documentary work I've been really hoping to have more time to tackle + starting a shop for my artwork 🙂

I don’t post here often, but today is my last day at @thelilynews @washingtonpost. There’s a Team Lily tradition that perfectly symbolizes why this is a special group of colleagues and friends: Whenever someone departs, the team makes a Lily Lines newsletter in their honor.

As I said, I don’t post here often but I am *extremely* on IG, so you can follow me and my artwork there😋 https://t.co/97JQt70Zvo

Here are some of my recent faves:

[Maya Lin Sugarman @mayasugarman]

This past year has been a time of great self-reflection for all of us. I discovered that I’m ready to dive in on some personal creative projects. I can’t wait to share them with you soon. 🖤

The viral music video "Friday" came out 10 years ago today. (Yes, 10 years ago.) Josh Paunil spent time talking to @MsRebeccaBlack about everything she's been through in the last decade and what's next for her. https://t.co/453rDCR4AP

[Neema Roshania Patel @neema_rp]

And don't miss @mayasugarman's video. You can see @MsRebeccaBlack talk about her journey, along with clips from her new music video. https://t.co/yoYVlQfEVO

In light of AOC's IG Live last night, important to re-read this one — there was a reason the Capitol riot felt uniquely traumatic for women of color lawmakers, via @FowlerSarah @mayasugarman @NavigatingNikki for @thelilynews: https://t.co/yRtAQDuNZz

[Rep. Norma Torres @NormaJTorres]

The domestic terrorist attack against our democracy on January 6 shook many Members of Congress, especially women of color who knew we were the mob’s direct target.

Here’s a great article discussing how my colleagues and I dealt with the attack:

[Grace Meng @Grace4NY]

When the white supremacist mob stormed the Capitol, I didn’t feel that I could comfortably walk out as a WOC. I felt vulnerable & I know many of my WOC colleagues felt the same way. We'll never forget what happened & we'll never stop fighting against hate. https://t.co/OwF8ZVq2Dh

“I was less nervous about them finding me or coming into the door in the room where I was than I was for them to discover that I was a minority woman.” Read this from @FowlerSarah and then watch the vid by @mayasugarman and @NavigatingNikki: https://t.co/yRtAQDuNZz
