Watching the Nelly & Ashanti reality show & it’s exactly the antics I need. However, it got me thinking - could I do a reality show? I don’t know if I’d want to. But if a cool concept came along & I have some of the big projects off the ground & I’m doing big ish - maybe.

I'm so thrilled to see BASL for this. I hope more movies that centers us choose this interpretation going forward. #SignLanguage #Sinners

UPDATE: We've been voting on the Senate floor for 24 HOURS. And Democrats have not stopped fighting to kill this bill and save health care.

The world lost the great Luther Vandross on this day 20 years ago. Luther was one of the greatest voices in music history. To the superstar whose first name alone brings instant recognition and admiration, Luther, we love and miss you.

17 years ago, Congress recognized Bebe Moore Campbell for creating National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Depressed While Black continues this legacy. We partnered with Hairizon Beauty Bar to provide over 600 Black Beauty Supply Kits to psychiatric patients.

Work is done. Holiday weekend - activated. Watching The Office marathon on E! because I need the chaos of Michael to set off my day. LOL.

I’m here watching Matlock like the old lady spirit I’m channeling. Can’t wait to have movie night later & throughout the weekend.

For a 2026/2027 project, I want to do something to discuss caregiving as a Millennial. I have a dear friend I’m going to connect with who’s starting their journey. This was my life a decade ago. Kinda weird to have this experience before 30, & seeing people go through it now.

For The Guardian, I wrote about the homes of Black writers like Langston Hughes, Toni Morrison, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Lucille Clifton and the urgency to preserve them lest their literary legacies be erased & forgotten forever. theguardian.com/culture/2025/j…

Officially D O N E until next Wed. So glad to be OOO for a week due to travel. It's 🐝 + witchy conference week - I can fully turn my brain off & have a good time. This is my summer break & I am ready for it.

The Biden Administration literally sent TX grant money to do this. TX refused, but also refused to return the money because they didn't want it going to a blue state. No, really.

Thank GOODNESS because I didn’t want to get a poncho. Plus, we have rainy conditions passing through this part of the country - smart move.
