I want to give you grace though too. Some of us, myself included, are finding it hard to focus on anything else bc we're starting to realize that a lot of things we did for fun (like going to the movies) are also pushing the same propaganda that left us blind for so many years.

Normally, I'd be here for John Boyega, but it's Viola Davis and Lashana Lynch for me. SOOOO READY for this movie!
Check out the first look at Viola Davis in ‘The Woman King’ directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood.
The film also stars Thuso Mbedu, Lashana Lynch, Sheila Atim, Adrienne Warren, Jayme Lawson and John Boyega.

Are you Indigenous? Land Back means Indigenous people decide what happens with their lands. It means Indigenous folks have land sovereignty and, therefore will tell you and I where we can and cannot be.

If you enjoy him as Mbaku, I need you to find and watch the movie Nine Days. His performance was SLEPT ON.
The intention for Mbaku in this film is to serve as the vent for a pressure cooker & that's what influenced this improvisational gem, amongst others ...

Jumping on here to say that if you have the opportunity, get off this app and other social apps for a bit and either
1) go touch grass
2) scream, punch something, cry, kick something
3) breathe
OR
4) all of the above
Protect your peace. 🧵

I took a hiatus from my business pre-COVID and I think it's the best decision I've made. I wanted to re-educate myself on lighting & posing techniques and I HAD to share the results. It was her 16th bday back in June and idk about you but I'd say she is a FORCE.
