Working hard! Philly and NYC were good to me.

Hi friends! It’s been a while.

3 hours until the premier of Shallow Water on the NFL network! I’m so honored to be the writer on this beautiful project and I hope you tune in and see it for yourself. It’ll be uploaded to YouTube shortly after the premier. ❤️

I’m crying 😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Meanwhile, Pizzerias in Buffalo: 😂😂😂

I’m working on a long term project about the Tops mass shooting and the summer of 2022. I wanted to share this piece in particular because I can’t shake it. It’s one of the pieces that describes how I felt in the immediate days after May 14th.

I wrote poetry for a Super Bowl special! It will air on the NFL Network on February 21st!

For us all. 🙏🏾🤲🏾🤍

Blew off some steam screaming at the Buffalo Sabres game! I love making sure my nephews get cool experiences! They even made it on the Jumbotron! 💙💛

From James Weldon Johnson's "Lift Every Voice and Sing" to @jillthepoet.bsky.social "Still Here" to kick off the keynote event!

Hi guys 👋🏾

Shout out to all the white women who voted for Trump and are now worried because they didn’t think they would be considered “DEI” hires. 🥴🤦🏽‍♀️

I don’t want anyone complaining to me about the state of the country moving forward. Idc if it’s about women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, immigration, anything. Black women tried to warn you! We voted in your interest even when you didn’t vote in your interest. Now we watch you lay in the bed you made.

Stop what you’re doing and watch my nephew fall over 😂😂😂

The Bills mopped the Broncos! Just as I thought!

A tiny grandpa 😂 He went to church for the first time so of course I had to protect his little ears.

I always have a camera in this kid’s face 😅

I asked my nephew how he feels about the Jets and he said:

🎄

Most pastors - “Clap your hands” My pastor - “Put those Black hands together!” He just wakes up and starts acting goofy 😂😂😂😂

I got my first Christmas gift already. Thank you to the Buffalo Sabres for the goodies! The double sided scarf goes crazy! 💛💙#Sabrehood  #NoMatterWhat ❤️🖤

Where can I find a Christmas shirt and a matching onsie for my nephew? My sister has a Christmas outfit for him already but I’m going to sneak and change him so matches me.

Philly 👀🧡

By me ❤️🙏🏾

Hanging out with my favorite baby 🥰

Thursday was my first time in the Empire State Building and I was there performing. I’m really living my dreams 🥹

Making my own way

“Go home, bro. You’re drunk!” 😂😂

I’m getting a new phone. Anyone have the iPhone 16 plus? That’s what I’m leaning towards because pink.

Babysitter duty

A queen of my city and it’s not up for debate 😤 #BuffaloKid 🦬

I’m performing for LinkedIn at the Empire State Building on Thursday. ☺️

Friday I got mad at my boyfriend because he wouldn’t pay for my Target cart At the register he decided to pay but I was being petty and paid for it myself. That’s when I realized how spoiled I am 😭 We talked about it as I made the lamb chops he requested that night and realized; he’s also spoiled 😭😅

Erie County (NY) 🚨

Being in a healthy relationship really helps me see how delusional I’ve been in the past about some of the guys I chose to date.

Are pizza logs a regional thing? If so, that sucks.

Little faker 😭😭😭

Getting ready for the snow game on Sunday. 😤🦬 #BillsMafia

Shout out to my boyfriend for coming to see me in between overnight shifts yesterday. He should’ve been getting some sleep but I’m glad he came to spend some time with my family and meet our new baby (yes, I said “our” because he’s my sister’s baby but he’s mine).

I’m so full

My stepdad- “What you grateful for, Jill?” Me - “I’m thankful for this baby and my Emmy.”

Look at those cheeks 🥰

The governor of New York invited me to perform at an event. I get to choose the poem, too. 😏

Idk if this makes sense but forex trading is very “grand rising queen”. IYKYK 🫠

A true football city ❤️🦬

Here with my little baby nephew. He’s so perfect ❤️

Today is my grandfather’s funeral and now my new nephew’s birthday. He’s surprised us and came early but he’s so perfect 😍.
