Always a privilege discussing the stories that matter most to me. 🤲🏿
In 1987, Ruthie May McCoy called 911 to report that someone was trying to break into her Chicago apartment through her bathroom mirror. Days later, she was found dead. McCoy’s story inspired, in part, a cult classic film. @Dometi_ hosts and co-executive produces “Candyman,” a

Oh I love BTS tidbits. Lauryn Hill took the tribute task to heart. “The original ask was four, four and a half minutes … She came back with, ‘I’ll do it, but I want to pay real tribute to these two icons.'” https://t.co/VlOel6sbR1
That D'Angelo/Roberta Flack tribute was a perfect example of how WE show up and show out when it's time to honor the greats.

Keith Porter’s murder wasn’t captured on camera, so it’s allowing ICE to sweep it under the rug, but we need to keep talking about him just as much as we talk about Renee Good and Alex Pretti. None of us are safe from this campaign of state violence.
Keith Porter Jr., a father of two, a son, and a brother, had his life taken by off-duty ICE agent Brian Palacios. His grieving family came together to demand the truth. We will continue to support Keith Porter Jr.’s family until they receive justice, transparency, and answers.

I REALLY want to see a prequel of Smoke and Stack in Chicago with Capone
Michael B. Jordan & Ryan Coogler reveal the backstory of the twins Stack & Smoke from Sinners, explaining that before the film the twins killed their father & they also share details about their time in Chicago around Al Capone 🎥 Proximity Media/YouTube

Wow, perfect analogy
Some of these tweets about how Sinners is just a "fun popcorn movie" with nothing deeper going on remind me of the story Billie Holiday told, about a white woman at one of her shows saying: "why don't you sing that one *sexy* song, you know, the one about the fruit!"

1. If you don’t think people who inquire can afford it, why reply at all? I mean, the lady asked about the booking process 3x. She seems serious. 2. Why not just send a pre-typed email response with your price list and let people who don’t send the deposit within 48hrs weed
Glambot director Cole Walliser is under fire for his responses to a possible customer inquiring about the camera for a wedding. Walliser reportedly doubted the woman’s ability to pay for his services.

A cartoon about my father from the 1960s. At the time he was assassinated, a poll reflected that he was one of the most hated men in the United States. Today, his message has been distorted by many who would have hated him then, but evoke him now to deter justice and truth.

Bernice King: “The recent claim by President Trump that the 1964 Civil Rights Act harmed white Americans is just wrong and it’s dangerous. It re-writes history in a way that fuels fear and resentment. My father and so many leaders of the movement did not risk their lives to
