SINNERS is one of the most nominated movies ever at The Grammys.

APOLOGY. Sometimes I wish I could go back and apologize to all I ever hurt in some way, and indeed I have given quite a few apologies. And I wish I could receive some apologies too. But I have learned to apologize to myself, to forgive myself. And, God willing, be better, wiser.

WILMINGTON, DELAWARE/PHILADELPHIA! TONIGHT we open the Diamond State Black Film Festival, in Wilmington, with our new documentary, WHEN WE FREE THE WORLD, a deep dive about manhood in America! 6pm. Get tickets for reception and screening and conversation at the festival website.

So my wife and I were blessed to see Michelle Obama in conversation with Tracee Ellis Ross in Brooklyn tonight. Mrs. Obama supporting her new book, THE LOOK, about her life with fashion and hair, including White House years. Conversation between them was excellent, empowering.

TORONTO. I have visited and have much love for all of Canada, especially the city of Toronto. The Blue Jays could have won that Series. Easily one of the best World Series ever, right up there with Reds-Red Sox in 1975 and Mets-Red Sox in 1986. Just sheer drama and nail-biting.
