Ebony has owed me $350 since 2013.

My Bluesky deserves love too! 🥰✨ Greetings I am DirectHER Shayla Racquel ✨

Take Atlanta's privileges, multiply them by 6, and distribute them between Houston and Chicago.

Target would really rather tank their whole business than take any sort of corrective action or accountability. It's miraculous to witness such unfettered foolishness particularly when it hampers corporate greed- their preferred activity.

The outlining process for this feature film script I've been working on has probably been the hardest hurdle to get over, but I finally have a detailed document to work with, including my working title, logline, synopsis, and themes I'll be covering. A whole lot of progress. ✨

me: big day of writing ahead the big day of writing:

@clarkishakent.bsky.social This was such a great read. Thought you’d like it since you’ve been so good breaking down sinners for us! 🥰 forrestbrown.substack.com/p/assimilati...

The old adage about not shopping where they won't hire people who look like you is real. All of the tools of the civil rights era being necessary again less than a generation later because Republicans voted for white nationalism is nothing short of vile.

One very easy way that graduates of complicit universities could show their dissent would be to withdraw donations from the university and make very public and vocal donations to HBCUs and community colleges. Donate, and then tell the university why you’re doing it on socials or by email.

Meanwhile, a Black boycott is tanking Target stock while plenty of y'all are still up and through there. But hope y'all had fun on that Target run!* We ARE taking action, just not with those who only want us as shields. No thanks. * - doesn't apply to those who have no other shopping alternatives.

Over 600 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sign an open letter criticizing the Academy for its lack of public support for Palestinian filmmaker Hamdan Ballal, co-director of Oscar-winning 'No Other Land,' following his recent detainment by Israeli authorities.

The devil couldn't reach me, so he somehow made me an aspiring screenwriter and filmmaker from a low-income community with two college degrees that I haven't made much use of just yet because the job market is so trash.

Have to say - not a fan of this at all. www.oscars.org/nicholl #scriptsky #filmsky

And of course the National Museum of African American History is under attack and our foundations, federations etc will do a lot of nothing after rushing to release reports and be public bullies about how much they were doing

I'll admit that I've been out of the loop with the news as a result of real life circumstances...but finding out that ScreenCraft is shutting down, having taken one of their free courses last year, is incredibly disappointing. #scriptsky

GNX is still excellent, btw.

Here’s a funny video for yall since yall seem to need it

If you have a Black Owned Business you’d like to put out there, use #BlackOwnedBlue and if you’re looking to patronize any of these businesses, pin this feed bsky.app/profile/did:...

Can we get a list of Black-owned products we can purchase at Black-owned establishments that’ll ship to us since we’re boycotting the big box stores that don’t want our money? Black business owners this is your time to shine!!

If you're boycotting t*rg*t note that they will probably increase ad spend to African American communities to rope you back in. Peep the manipulation and reject it, or block their social accounts in advance!!

Some website builders to help you get started (always do your research!) Weebly Shopify Squarespace Wix Neocities Carrd a dedicated Tumblr (tho that's still on a sm platform) WordPress And I'm sure there's plenty more.

🚨BOYCOTT ALERT 🚨 STARTING FEBRUARY 1st, MY ORGANIZATION WE ARE SOMEBODY IS CALLING ON A MASS BOYCOTT OF ALL TARGET STORES. Yesterday, Target announced that they are rolling back diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Companies Scaling Back or Denouncing DEI Amazon Boeing Brown-Forman Caterpillar Ford Harley-Davidson John Deere Lowe’s Molson Coors McDonald’s Meta Nissan Stanley Black & Decker Target Tractor Supply Toyota Walmart Support who supports you ✨✊

Makeup lovers, let’s give e.l.f. some $$$$!

Exactly - The reason why they use "DEI" instead of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is because if they spelled it out, people would know going against it is pro-segregation

"Pulling back on DEI" - letting us know that this is going to be a segregated shopping experience. We need to get far better at messaging and counterargument.

I applied to Target for a job at least 15-16 different times (11-12 of those times were at the same Target location since I moved to a very isolated location with not a lot of nearby businesses). One of those times, I almost got an offer before getting rejected. Every other time went unsuccessful.

It’s not even midnight yet. And that last paragraph has me side eyeing this whole thing.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to the undisputed Queen of Disco and Mother of Modern Pop and EDM, Donna Summer! Today, she would have turned 76! 🕊

- Finally get a job so I can move back to the city - Practice budgeting/smart spending - Complete at least 2-3 scripts for review (one is currently in progress) - Submit to my first screenwriting competition - Read more books - Work out more often + track my water intake - Meet Black filmmakers

In honor of the last 12 hours of 2024. My second draft. It may not be anywhere close to finished, but it reminds me of my why. #scriptsky

A group of retired Black women in Philly gather weekly to sew period pads for girls in Africa. Along the way, they've also built a community here "We believe in each other and have faith in ourselves, and we have faith others are going to support us”

The Blackbirds flew.

I'm not gonna be able to see the disco horse lady again next year on tour, and it's gonna devastate me. 🥲

Skimming through the Challengers script so far (maybe 15 pages in) and searching the screenwriters' other creds gave me a little bit of inspiration I didn't know I needed.

Got accepted to a fellowship that I'll be starting in early 2025. Baby steps.

The most beautifulest thing in this world is a Black woman 🤎
