Thank you Muriel for coming to see one of your oldest and dearest friends in 2018 @dorothyknows a few months before she got her wings... I was delighted to surprise you at your 90th birthday last fall...😊 And to return to see you in Charlottesville while playing a mom in a 48 hr festival film so I could build my reel and spend time with you too! (Though you claimed it wasn't enough) Thank you for always calling and checking on me as recently as last week. I will keep your voicemails as long as I can. ❤❤❤❤❤ #cherishthemnow https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp9PvVyNEj4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

114 roles. What a legacy of work. I never saw John Wick but every time I saw him I was blown AWAY!!! He really shined in #thewire and I so enjoyed him in #sylvieslove He was on my list to work with... Rest in peace to a true artist. Gone too damn soon. #lancereddick https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6O5sOJTE8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This one hit all the way home. 💥I didn't see roles for me when I first got out of college➡️ Created #babygirlplay knowing one day it would be #babygirltvshow 💥Saw a bad movie yesterday. Went home and worked on my newest pilot. 💥The fact that greed is creating what looks like an evitable #wgastrike ➡️ Time to pivot in another direction creatively. 💥A new fellowship for #bipoc writers who are repped already (agent or manager - I have a lawyer but that still discounts me) PLUS rampant ageism. ➡️ More fuel to create my very own #priscillabelleproductions fellowship that looks out for those 40+ with great experience who have still not gotten their IN. ANGER➡️PASSION➡️CREATIVITY That's always been my 🎟. #keeponkeepingon ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1nJ4qOSML/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tomorrow I tell her story in monologue form.

Meet this lover of #Shakespeare who contributed to bringing #thebard and a standard of excellence to #atlanta (on campus of Atlanta University before it was #clarkuniversity ) laying the foundation for future #thespians to follow... She had a remarkable history making husband too. #adrienneherndon #herndonhouse #atlactor #imwriting #imacting #multihyphenate (your favorite) Showtime at 3. #free99 @woodruffartscenter Rich Theater Awesome way to kick off my new birthday week!

MARCH 3 2023. After a decades long fight... #delasol catalogue will be fully available with profits going to the artists (and the loved ones of the late great #trugoy ) 🙏🏾 It seemed like a simple request but became a copyright nightmare...that speaks to the genius of this group and their ingenuity. #hiphop was still finding its way and De La was punished for standing up for their artistry and demanding fairness. At least David left here knowing #dela FINALLY owned their masters. And we would all be able to support the creators directly. #justclearthesample On another note: folks ("friends") hated on me when I got 2nd place in the lip sync contest in high school and the guys who did De La Sol came in 3rd. Another #babygirltvshow episode. And...glad I caught the #spitkickers tour. De La was in top form!! #swipeleft⬅️ https://www.instagram.com/p/Com_7QcOBw9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thank you @gpbmadeit for using your voice to wake folk up!! I don't see any reason to watch #theoscars this year. Awards DO NOT make the artist!! Yet and still it's interesting how #theoscars repeatedly deny Black actresses but still award Black men. (Usually in stereotypical roles) This pattern has not changed even with a more diversified Academy after a Black woman president. And with #kindred canceled its not just film. Yes there has been progress, but the leadership remains unchanged. I was told in 1996 (the same year there was ONE Black nominee @iamdiannehouston for a short film and and a subsequent Oscars boycott) that Hollywood was in #corporateamerica Same sh** nearly 30 years later. I truly understand this truth more now than ever!! #thewomanking and #till were PHENOMENAL films with PHENOMENAL casts and CREW!! But to be in a union and be a voter and make an excuse to not press play???!!! This shutout and many other recent cancellations are blatant #institutionalizedracism #racism filled with continuing #doublestandards in #Hollywood A FEW RECEIPTS: The same institution that gave a rapist (Roman Polanski - She was 13) and actor sued TWICE for sexual harassment (Casey Affleck) the golden statue. Don't @ me. These are just two MORE examples of #whiteprivilege and the evils of #patriarchy magnified!! Don't believe me look up #ucla #hollywooddiversityreport and the low numbers of #bipoc in #wga #dga and EVERY OTHER UNION!!! #sickandtired !!! When will Hollywood reflect EVERYBODY? When will there be #racialequity in storytelling on screen?? This is why I'll probably remain an independent creative and filmmaker. I can keep creative control and cater to my audience on my terms outside the establishment. No more to say right now... !!!!!!!!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CoY9EerOL_h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And the fact I'm now a #wga member makes this even more SPECIAL!! Can't wait to see her newest production @unprisonedhulu bowing March 10th starring @kerrywashington @delroy.lindo !! She also brought us #runtheworld as producer and there's so much #moretocome !!! 600 hours of TV and counting... She was the first of many to follow and been unsung FAR TOO LONG!! This is EXCITING!! #moretocome #blackgirlmagic #unprisoned #tvwriter #amwriting https://www.instagram.com/p/CoR1sVjOUfy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Born on the exact SAME DAY!!!!! Make it make sense!! #tyre #breonna There was a White officer too! The chief of police was a #reddog in #atlanta A four year old boy no longer has a father. Another mother and father losing their son for no reason. Another son calling out for his Mama. #icantbreathe I seriously understand why the number of ex-pats keeps growing. THE ONLY VIDEO I'M WATCHING IS OF HIM SKATEBOARDING. His #blackboyjoy unbridled. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoCuWz-u9CN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another lesson I wish I'd learned in #adolescence and huge part of #babygirlplay #babygirltvshow #cautionarytale for young people and healing for adults who didn't see their value as young people. (Like me.) I knew my Mama loved me the best way she could. My Daddy too. But despite their efforts I learned that #abandonmentissues were my reality. Even under the same roof... I know my value NOW. And have for quite some time. To quote the great poet and wise Piscean #methodman : "If you ain't with me then forget me." Cuz I got plenty in my #rideordie crew #framily who appreciate me for the 💎 #iam ... And I'm grateful for them!!! 🙏🏾 #nipsey knew: #circlegettingsmaller #everybodycantcome #sorrynotsorry https://www.instagram.com/p/CnjsdUlOgsN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#dyingwhileblack after a car accident. This school teacher literally yelled out: " They are trying to #georgefloyd me!!" He was right. 2020. 2023. Same sh** different year. An English teacher. Another fatherless son left behind. Another hashtag of an unarmed citizen but #thisisamerica AGAIN!! #keenananderson https://www.instagram.com/p/CnW6Deduorl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
