Esther Rolle literally fought for a Black father representation in Good Times. She risked everything, and when they killed John Amos off, she literally left the show—we can’t keep spitting in their faces like this.

Yes, I wrote a book series about a Black boy going to a magical HBCU to learn his ancestral magic. He’s a Black boy that often gets held to higher standard. But he’s vulnerable, strong, flawed, super powerful. #BloodattheRoot

Bringing this back because I haven’t forgot the comments under the post. We fawn over Tiana but Princess Kida was the FIRST BLACK DISNEY PRINCESS!

Shoutout to y’all for supporting my last post. Here’s a scene of Hattie McDaniel hours before her historic win talking with a Black maid about the importance of seeing yourself. Like I said I’ve been fighting to get my play on more stages. Especially in Atlanta, Alabama, NYC and LA. Tag your local theaters. I’m fighting to get it there!

When I think of #Sinners, I think of this monologue from Ma Rainey. “The world would be nothing without the blues.” The blues came from the motherland, and our ancestors took it and remixed it, and now it’s in everything we do.

Again, instead of telling Black creatives to “call Tyler Perry”, give their creative endeavors a view, a repost, a comment and like. Donate to their campaigns. Hollywood is tough right now and we need all the support than ever. I decided to reload my first ever short film based off a stageplay I wrote back in high school. We made this on a SHOE STRING BUDGET, but we got through. It’s about two strangers finding themselves trapped in an abandoned hospital room during Hurricane Katrina where the ghosts of their past come to haunt them. Gothika x The Sixth Sense You can watch it now on YouTube for free. Please run up the views, comments, share.

#Sinnersmovie definitely got me inspired. I’m working with a wonderful team to bring my magical HBCU TV series to life. We’re working on the last bit of logistics before we take it to the networks and studios. Here’s Blood at the Root which is now a New York Times Bestseller but it was inspired by this little short film that could. Ryan Coogler definitely inspired me all the way through. Watch here:

In case you’re wondering, I have, for the past three years, been actively trying to get this play out here in LA. But that’s a whole convo for another day. Now we’re campaigning for Broadway and here’s a little clip!
