3 hours until the premier of Shallow Water on the NFL network! I’m so honored to be the writer on this beautiful project and I hope you tune in and see it for yourself. It’ll be uploaded to YouTube shortly after the premier. ❤️

I’m working on a long term project about the Tops mass shooting and the summer of 2022. I wanted to share this piece in particular because I can’t shake it. It’s one of the pieces that describes how I felt in the immediate days after May 14th.

Shout out to all the white women who voted for Trump and are now worried because they didn’t think they would be considered “DEI” hires. 🥴🤦🏽‍♀️

I don’t want anyone complaining to me about the state of the country moving forward. Idc if it’s about women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, immigration, anything. Black women tried to warn you! We voted in your interest even when you didn’t vote in your interest. Now we watch you lay in the bed you made.

A tiny grandpa 😂

He went to church for the first time so of course I had to protect his little ears.

Most pastors - “Clap your hands”

My pastor - “Put those Black hands together!”

He just wakes up and starts acting goofy 😂😂😂😂

Where can I find a Christmas shirt and a matching onsie for my nephew? My sister has a Christmas outfit for him already but I’m going to sneak and change him so matches me.
