This particular #mercuryretrograde has been a lot for me; a lot is coming up. They say this is an intense time for a lot of us, and we are encouraged to focus on #reconnection — to our roots, to our true selves, and to our nature and purpose. My papa, Alonzo, the most loving man I have ever known, left this earth plane when I was 17. Sometimes when I am scared or feeling alone, I close my eyes and remember his soul — how he made me feel, how he made everyone feel — loved, important, seen, taken care of. This week, I have felt and carried his spirit more than I have since the last time I physically saw him. He is a part of my soul, and a reminder of who I am, who I come from, and the kind of person I want to be. One of my friends/ angels reminded me recently that diamonds are only made under pressure. I’ve been feeling the pressure, but because I come from this diamond of a man, I know where I’m going, and I know who I will be. I love you papa. Thank you for being a part of me. ❤️

There’s too much we don’t learn in history class. If you don’t know who Vernon Dahmer is, do yourself a favor and go on a Wikipedia binge. #ifyoudontknownowyouknow #ignoranceaintbliss #angelsinamerica

I am currently with a group of high school students in the south, learning about the people who risked their lives and safety during the Civil Rights Movement to give everyone in this country freedom. Then I go online to find that in my new city, the first place I've lived that I also love, a police officer decided it was okay to run into a protestor with a police vehicle and DRIVE OFF. Today, I was at Medgar Evers' house. We sat where a white supremacist shot him in front of his house, in front of his family, in cold blood in 1963. A few weeks ago, the house was vandalized. In 2018. Some people don't like "political" social media posts. But you know what you should be more upset about? Racism in the USA. This country is one of the most diverse on the planet. WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS. We don't have time for police (who we pay) to shoot first ask later, we don't have time to deny the foundation of racism in this country, and we don't have time for hate, ignorance, and greed. If you don't care, you are the problem, and if we go down, YOU are going down with us. WAKE UP.

“First Kiss – The Lost Takes”

This was a fun project my friend and filmmaker Ashley Denise allowed me to participate in. Check out her work on Youtube at NuanseEntertainment.

I play “slovenly girl.”
