PEACE EVERYONE! NO WAY my first doc film, WHEN WE FREE THE WORLD, about manhood in America, would have been made, over 6 years, or been on tour this year, without donations. Asking you to please make TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION, any amount. Here is link to do so: www.paypal.com/donate/?host...

When I first reunited with my biological maternal family in Panamá, I saw myself in EVERYONE'S face. It was a sweet relief and validated everything I am. AND it was a reminder of all I'd lost. All the BOTH~ANDs. #NationalADOPTEEAwarenessMonth #AdopteeVoices #BlackAdoptee #TransnationalAdoptee 🥚

And this is why Starbucks remains on my boycott list. I might not control much, but I decide where (& where NOT) to spend my $!
Starbucks employees have long fought against consistently unpredictable schedules, short staffing, low pay, and unfair labor practices.
Today, @sbworkersunited.org is striking to demand progress in stalled negotiations.
