I raised a young man who knows the transformative power of art & uses it as a medium for love. I sent him Ryan’s video on film with Kodak (my son is a young photographer in LA). He sent me a ticket & an uber, so we can watch it together on different coasts & discuss later.🥹❤️ #blacklove

I’m going to watch Sinners tonight. A me, myself and I night. Courtesy of my son. I am so excited. I’ve been watching Ryan’s videos on creating the film. His enthusiasm is contagious and oh so beautiful to watch. youtu.be/1PoN2QKi33Q?...

Funny how European and Chinese companies have proven themselves compromised when it comes to telling the full story of luxury fashion…conveniently leaving out tanneries and leather artisans on Northern Nigeria. #fashionsky #fashionhistory #luxuryfashion youtu.be/YMsAMGPNQjU?...

Just me? I want to chop it up about art, fashion, culture, life…so I keep setting up my phone to shoot impromptu footage of me working and then I get overwhelmed with how ugly I feel and turn the camera off. This is getting disruptive. Spend more time with art and my therapist. Clearly.

For the record, if my client dance like this when they put on my clothes, I have to make them a fit on the house. Because baybeeee! xlotheshttps://youtube.com/shorts/AUMYX6RvVdE?si=GYV5xvZOdiuZxZTR

Did I ever tell y’all that growing up every lady and their momma was sweating Bobby Brown but me? Nope. I had a big crush on Ralph Tresvant. Can you see why? #newedition #rnb #blacksky #culture #ralphtresvant #blackmusic #80s #90s youtube.com/shorts/Zzbg3...

Got parents in a nursing home or memory care facility receiving Social Security? If Elon, Trump and GOP grifters have their way, not only will Nana and PawPaw lose their support, YOU🫵🏾 will be left with the tab of your state calls for filial responsibility. 🤦🏾‍♀️ #stateofaffairs #socialsecurity

Buy local if you must buy at all. Odds are, if you look carefully, you’ve got an excess of the things you want and can be morally and politically strategic with obtaining the things you need. #bethechange

I did my part to support the February 28th economic blackout! Now, I'm ready to support additional economic blackout dates! #LFG

Wow. It’s March already.

If I am thinking about creating something sometimes I’ll “speed visualize” it being made. It’s kind of like when people say their lives flash before their eyes only it is not a life or death thing for me. It’s just the moment playing out fast and I kind of zone out so I can watch and feel the show.

When I say I love me some us, this is why. New Jazz Underground has created a sublime suite of music covering Kendrick Lamar’s work. Bless your heart & your ears with this dope dope. youtu.be/jNraVOF3mhE?... #jazz #hiphop #KendrickLamar #blacksky #musicsky #NJU #theculture #hbcu

Too many influencers & rappers fat off the years upon years of doing mediocre work (journalism, analysis & creative production) while being the biggest misogynistic, entitled pricks have entered their jilted ex phase & it’s already exhausting. #hiphop #culture #blacksky youtu.be/UbV-XcIkVys?...

“Has everyone been in love?… Not on the basis of the evidence. If they have they’ve forgotten it. If everyone has been in love, they’d treat their children differently. They’d treat each other differently.” -James Baldwin #love #America #blacksky #bhm #JamesBaldwin 💚🖤❤️ youtube.com/shorts/bc6v_...

@fetterman.senate.gov, you voted for Pam Bondi. I will be providing you with frequent reminders of this. You're welcome.

“Mississippi Goddamn”, Eunice Kathleen Waymon sang, even though she was born and raised in North Carolina. The 6th of 8 children Eunice always aspired to be a concert pianist. She began playing the piano at the young age of 3 & by age 12 she played her first concert. You know her as Nina Simone.

Welp…from banned books to banned words. Now we miss out on funding by utilizing these words? This is unraveling fast. #dosomething

This is appalling.

So, Musk is the King and Trump is the Cuck. Oh, MAGA, you got played. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

Do not sign this. Do not.

Trump federal fund freeze blocked again by judge. The senate didn’t stop him. Take notice. #dosomething youtu.be/HPTJzV6zjo0?...

There’s a coup at play in the US & the education system has failed so horribly. Too many don’t have the comprehension skills to understand how they are being manipulated. What can be done? How do you get people up to speed while blocking the fast-moving silent campaign overtaking them? #dosomething

Goooooooooooo.

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

Find out who your senator is. Give them a call. Write them a letter. Visit their office respectfully & peacefully. They serve you. Tell them to stop this billionaire coup & to protect government agencies. To tell to move quickly & courageously. #dosomething www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Call your senator to demand that they use every lever at their disposal to block Elon Musk and Trump’s illegal takeover and shutdown of essential government agencies. 202-224-3121 #dosomething

KEEP. CALLING. Pressure is working and we need all Dem Senators in array.

This is also a cycle of narcissistic abuse. I made an abusive choice, I face potential consequences, I convince my abusee that I have changed, I say I’ll never do it again, I do it again. It’s his psychopathology.

Hard same.

Trump got played again. Canada *already* has 8,500 frontline personnel at the border. www.canada.ca/en/border-se...

It’s all theatrics and performative. Trump creates the problem or challenge. Trump then offers a fake fix or solution to the fake problem or challenge. Trump sycophants then cheer him as a genius and a political leader and problem-solver for the ages. Rinse and repeat. Theatrics. That’s it.

Are the tariff stunts meant to distract from the dirty deeds of the musky tech bros illegally accessing information at OPM, The Treasury and other vital agencies?

I am so sensitive to all the shit accruing. The deportations, federal employees who haven’t received a paycheck since December, LA fires, unrest and insecurity…and the real struggles haven’t even those living in the US yet. How do I reconcile this as an artist, a mother and an empathetic human?

When will elected officials inform the good people of Kentucky that their biggest customers, 🇨🇦, pulled US bourbon from the shelves? I know Kentucky is one of the wealthiest & most educated of the states, so I’m sure they’re all over it. youtu.be/sPlbnZn6ZiY?... #bourbonban #trumptariff
