I know I should be promoting my book. I'm dealing with some things that have made it difficult to do much else—even promote this work that I love and that is so beautiful. I want to. But, life. I hope it finds its way to you. More than that, I hope you're finding ways to live in spite of this world.

for my 5th (!) annual 28 films for the 28 days of black history month, i highlighted 28 black cinematic visions of resistance, childlike wonder, and unending imagination:
