I am not a performer that is hired solely because I check "DEI" boxes. I am a performer who has been pursuing the arts professionally for 19 years belonging to an identity that PROVIDES EVIDENCE OF THE DIVERSITY OF THE HUMAN RACE.

You know how during an election we always say "if you're in line, STAY IN LINE"?

Here's the new version:
If you're in a federal job, STAY IN YOUR FEDERAL JOB.

Don't quit. That's obeying in advance. Make them fire you. Then sue them to stop it.

Keep fighting. Do NOT surrender.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

Begging everyone to not fall for the political theatre that is trump “saving” tiktok. They didn’t have to take the servers down and put them back up, he’s not even president yet🙃 the more you joke about him being a savior, the more you’ll start to believe it

It may have been around 20 degrees outside, but we were proud to have nearly 100 people march with us throughout the day. We will continue to chant, march, and fight.

We’ll see you at the MLK march on Monday!
