    Just know that everyone’s writing is terrible. Until it’s not. No one’s stuff is right immediately. You gotta work it. Refine it. Shape it. Spend time with it. It’s a relationship. Between you and what comes from you. Not easy. Gonna be terrible before it’s not. And that’s okay.

    I remember this story all too well. I just kept thinking -- but they're just boys! It was part of the inspiration for If You Come Softly. Thank you for WHEN THEY SEE US. Thank you.

    On this exact day 30 years ago, a woman was raped in Central Park. Five black + brown boys were framed for her rape. The story you know is the lie that police, prosecutors and Donald Trump told you. WHEN THEY SEE US is the story of the boys from their eyes and their hearts.

    Yeah. Some days I just need to watch Beyoncé's brilliance and thank the universe for putting me on earth at this moment in time.

    Once you listen to a live version of a Beyoncé song, it’s hard to go back and listen to the original the same way 😩
