The fact that Black women saying “y’all are on your own” has all these people snot nose crying, making TikTok’s, apologizing, making friendship bracelets, & trying to set up marches should tell you everything you need to know.

SPAIN?! 🇪🇸 What Somalia Wants has been selected to screen at the 36th Girona Film Festival in Barcelona! However, I will have to withdraw from the festival becuz they do not have any more in-person space to screen it. They want to put the pilot on their streaming platform. Nope!
Kamala Harris will be the next President of the United States. I pledge my full support to ensure her victory in November.
Now more than ever, it is crucial that our party and country swiftly unite to defeat Donald Trump and the threat to American democracy.
Let’s get to work.
The Fourth of July is about celebrating the big, bold, inclusive experiment that is our American democracy. And it has always been an experiment. Our democracy has never been guaranteed, which means we can’t take it for granted. We need to keep fighting for it, keep improving it, and keep making sure it reflects the better angels of our nature instead of the worst. That, more than anything, is what America is all about.
I asked for Black interpreters for the Masterclass: The Future of Representation panel.
No disrespect to the interpreters they assigned, but they gave us two white interpreters for this specific panel at the #TribecaFilmFestival.

For decades, up to the movie. CODA, Hollywood hearing writers, some with savior complex tendencies, often write deaf characters who are broken or victims. Time to dismantle these same, old story tropes.

Remembering #JohnSingleton.
🎬🙏🏽💚 ✊🏾🎥
John was one of 1990s black filmmakers who tackled serious issues without sacrificing entertainment value. I was glad to be part of that movement, witnessing the rise of Hollywood’s Black film renaissance.
