Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

I might be moving back to LA next year. Quite possibly. Definitely. I hope so?🙃

I hope to connect with any one interested who lives out there and. Go. To. The movies! Because that’s mostly what I’ll be doing. That and lots of eating. And beach. I miss the beach.

I would be so down for some Lithgow Lime
