I'm glad the writers' room was DILIGENT w/ the notes & dotted their 'i's' & crossed their 't's, making this make sense w/ the new Wayne child. That was my ONLY anxiety. Oh, and where Freddy was. 🤣 Love the cameos for sure & the Netty money for more campus views. 💜HBCU Memories! #Adifferentworld

So far, the continuation of ADW is not bad at all. I honestly didn't think that it would be. I went in accepting that this is for a new generation, w/ an embrace for us who grew up watching the OG IP. With that in mind... #Adifferentworld | #Streaming

Need a little short excursion? Get into my spicy BOK Novelette ‘Between Pleasure and Friends.’ This book cover and the PB cover are among the favorites I’ve ever designed. I also had fun designing the destination promos. 🔥 amzn.to/4rmpgBH #books | #BookSky💙📚🌶️ | #Romancelandia | #blackbooksky

Though it's hotter than a biscuit with honey butter outside, grab yourself an iced pumpkin spice whatever, or chai, and take a visit to Sojourner Falls! 🧋https://amzn.to/3rMSJa5 #Romance | #Romancelandia | #BookSky💙📚 | #Blackbooksky

It’s August 1st, and I always like to do a remembrance of Mama Banks at this time. So…no it’s not Black History Month, but it’s ALWAYS Black Literary Remembrance Month. ❤️ open.substack.com/pub/kaileake...

Historically African-American communities and settlements were known in various areas as "Freedmen Towns," "Freetowns," "freedom colonies," or "All-Black towns.".... Sojourner Falls reflects the legacy of such places and the vision of preserving such a town. Take a stroll in SOJO Falls.

Here's Hazel Scott taking the very serious "Minuet Waltz" by Frédéric Chopin..... And giving it her own signature boogie woogie swag. She's literally the best. So good the movies studios put it in their cartoons! LOOK AT THAT LEFT HAND FLYIN!!

I have to get more active here and curate it more to get it to where it feels more comfy. Right now, my feed is very boring. 😆

They called him the "Black Socrates," but ion like that because why do you have to blackface versions of white things in order to be great? But anyway, he's the smartest Black man you've probably never heard of. The philosopher of the early Black Freedom Movement. Born 143 years ago today

So, the new szn of Beef. I did end up watching it (after not really being interested due to its strong YT centeredness) bc it was shorter. So, my feelings abt this szn, it just wasn't giving like the first szn. Not in the same manner, I'll say. You feel the distinct shift in the storytelling/world.

The Rock shows a photo of his late grandfather who Maui is based on. “When you see me embodying Maui in this live-action version, every word & lyric, that’s my grandfather.”

I don't engage enough over here anymore. I might change that.
