msamberpriley Posting this 5min before this show starts! I got to work with some amazingly talented, and beautiful human beings! I wanted to get back to the stage because it’s literally when I am my happiest while doing a job. Musical Theatre is more that singing and dancing, it is community and family. I am so grateful that I got lend my voice to the iconic character Audrey ll. Thank you to everyone who came and experienced this incredible piece of history with us. Until we meet again... Au Revoir

Idk if I would have ever been able to connect with Glee if it wasn't for Amber's Angels.

This is not to say I'm back or will be active, even though I have popped in more recently, but something is on my heart that I wanted to try to see if I could cast a net for kindred folk to connect or possibly create that much needed marginalized pocket of a fandom.

On this post, either reply, reblog with commentary, or put in the tags the fandoms and/or entertainment media that isolated you or made you feel like you could not connect with it due to misogynoir, antiblackness, and/or colorism against Black female characters, actresses, or fans.

Let this be your sounding board and possibly, your chance to find others in that/those fandom(s) who really wanted to socially enjoy, but never found their pocket.

kendrick38 More love. 🖤🙏🏽✊🏽 It’s taken forever to get some of these photos out from my birthday last week! But thank you to every one who came out and enjoyed the great food and drinks, music, good energy and people and of course for listening to me ramble for a few minutes about what I’m most passionate about: our purpose on this Earth (to lift up and protect the most vulnerable)! A lot of love and good spirits in this room. Thank you to everyone who donated to @Dignity yandpowernow 🙌🏽 This is what community building looks like. And of course thank you to the best Oaxacan restaurant in LA (run by indigenous Zapotec women) and my favorite Mexican restaurant hands down @laguelaguetza and to @bricialopez for your love. Thank you @revolveimpact for helping make this a beautiful birthday and @ebonymagazine for coming out and celebrating my birthday and uplifting the liberation work message. And thank you @projectkengikat for the photos 🙌🏽
