10 YEARS AGO, in 2015, my autobiography, THE EDUCATION OF KEVIN POWELL, was published. Hardest thing I had ever written in my life. But also deeply healing and liberating. Glad it was my first audiobook in my voice, too. One day it will be a film, by whatever means necessary.

one of my favorite interviews of Michael K. Williams when he talks about finding out Queen Latifah landed a hit on the radio. it inspired him to push and find his big break as a dancer. they had known each other since they were 16. for those who may not remember, Michael was an

"To Puerto Rico…I carry the flag 🇵🇷 in my heart. I carry the Island in my veins. When I wore those colors I wasn't just playing basketball. I was honoring a heritage. Honoring my father. Honoring every Puerto Rican who's ever had to fight twice as hard to get as far" –– Melo

Two years ago seems like a lifetime these days, but I remain very proud of this spoken word poetry album that got a Grammy nomination in 2024. One day I will do a second one. Please give this one a listen if you never have.

So between WHAT’S GOING ON in 1971 and LET’S GET IT ON in 1973 MARVIN GAYE made “lost” album called YOU’RE THE MAN, intended for 1972, but not released until 2019. It is worth listening to for many reasons, if just to hear his thought process. It is my soundtrack today.

THE GILDED AGE ON HBO. So my wife and I spent past 2 weeks binge watching all 3 seasons. Class, gender, race, power, greed, family, love, Black representation, this show has it all plus stellar acting.

COMPETITION. I believe in words like cooperation and support and love, not competition. Have seen folks, creative folks, not help others. Or just dis folks. Or act like they do not exist. Bad behavior always comes back. And competition is no way to live artist life, or any life.

A beautiful day in my beloved Brooklyn, New York at the annual West Indian Day Parade. Salute to West Indians everywhere.

My wife and I saw Prince’s 1987 SIGN ‘O’ THE TIMES concert film in IMAX last night here in New York. I saw him live performing when he was with us, my wife had not. This concert film is MUST-SEE in any form. We in theater were MESMERIZED.

A ReUpload of another Twitterer's video [@KittyShackleford] from back in October 30th 2020 when BLM and Black Bloc reached a boiling point at a Vancouver Police shooting of Kevin Peterson. It was near the end of the 2020 election season, and Portland is less than a bridge of

My wife and I took my mother and auntie out in Jersey to celebrate their birthdays. Before we could even order dinner ma was asking the server about the cake. :) We ate first then she and my auntie got their pieces of cake with candles. #VirgoSeason

Michael Jackson would have been 67-years-old today. I cannot imagine any part of my life without his music. I leave the debates about who he was to others. His music helped me in all ways, and still does.

“I Remember Hurricane Katrina 20 Years Later”—new blog by Kevin Powell via NEWSWEEK:

CHADWICK BOSEMAN. I knew him for several years, worked with him early in his career, last time I ever spoke with him was an interview I did with Chadwick for British GQ cover story during massive success of BLACK PANTHER. This week marks 5 years since his passing.

TODAY, August 28th, is my mother’s birthday. Taking her and her sister/my auntie out to celebrate their Virgo birthdays. My ma raised me alone, I am man I am because of her. And a library trip she took me on when I was 8 is why I am a writer. She is appreciated beyond words.

MINNESOTA. Thinking about those children. A new week and a new mass shooting. I pray/meditate daily, including for peace in all forms. But VIOLENCE is in the DNA for many, a solution for every matter.

Always great to see your work on the big screen. I was an archivist for @poetkevinpowell's debut film, "When We Free The World", a documentary on the importance of Black manhood. Cheers to the Atlanta Premiere at @BronzeLens Film Festival! #Documentary #IndieFilm

A quiet admission: I’m deeply proud of the life I’ve helped build for my 8-year-old son. But some nights, I lie awake… Afraid I might ruin it all for him. This is the paradox of abundance — and how I’m trying to navigate it as a parent.
