My short film #script, “Tom’s Diner,” is a QUARTERFINALIST in the 2025 Atlanta Film Festival #Screenplay Competition!
This is a BIG one and I’ve usually been too scared to enter, but I went for it!
I am beyond thrilled to have one of my favorite stories receive its 7th accolade!
❤️👩🏽‍💻🎥🎬❤️ #ScriptSky
T-minus 2 days until I am an empty-nester!
Oh, the possibilities! I'm excited for what I'm cooking up next!

These things are about to have me like Pookie from New Jack City!
Whoever did this is an evil genius because by description alone, this should not be in the vicinity of delicious!
Lawd! Let me go see if I need more toothpaste!

Malcolm-Jamal Warner (1970-2025)

I am NOT ok. 💔
This hits different. Much harder because I feel like I we “grew up together.”
He’s been around for a long time but in a lot of ways, just getting started.

(sigh)

We will miss you, Malcolm!
May you rest in peace. 🕊️

#Writing about “trees not making a sound in the forest” and feeling “extinct” despite decades of proof that I exist, really lit a fire under me! 👩🏽‍💻
Since publishing that piece on Substack, I’ve been creating a new portfolio 🎬📚📺
And you best believe I’m gonna make a sound! 💥
To be continued…

Hey #SkyHoops (and other sports fans)
Have y’all seen VIBE CHECK yet? 🏀 I love it!
Laid back and fun but with serious sports talk.
Let’s help this series do numbers!
Disney+ MWF at 5pm EST!

[p.s. I’m a tiny bit biased because my daughter worked on their set last week 😊]

WHAT THE HELL, MAN!
First #Netflix cancels “The Residence” and now #HBOMax cancels “Duster!” 🤬
This series is a masterpiece by LaToya Morgan and JJ Abrams! The season finale has us SHOOK!
I hate to say I’m seeing a pattern with what shows are getting the boot. 👀 I’ma write more about it later.

This sounds pretty darn cool! 👩🏽‍💻

Gotta love a surge of creative energy! 🔥 💡 ⚡️ 🔌
So far this week, I’ve turned a personal #writing practice and an essay into two ebook/workbooks!
And it’s only Wednesday!
I don’t know how long this will last, but I’ll take it! 👩🏽‍💻💪🏽

At least #impostorsyndrome is a temporary sensation…

While I am a brilliant assassin, I don't enjoy killing my or anyone else's “darlings.” Especially in a case like this, when nothing needs to die…
