Shouldn’t be the FIRST review you read of #Sinners (read a critic of color first!)
but know that I LOVED this film, (even though it was hard to stick a landing with so much going on)

Coogler, what a gift you are.
& thanks for your BTL collaborations w/women!

The racist in chief continues to plow over any signs of solidarity or support for the Black & Brown folks of this country in this vulgar display of strong-arming DC.

Get angry. Stay angry. #BlackLivesMatter

What are you doing to stand up for those already suffering as a result of the new administration’s wrong-headedness and fear-mongering?
If you claim to be someone’s ally, but aren’t getting hit by the stones throne at them, you aren’t standing close enough
