    Beverly and I will be happy to sing to you if you want! 🎼🎶 We will definitely talk about the music we grew up with that shaped us.

    ICYMI, you're all invited to and Beverly Smith's Birthday this Tuesday!! Except instead of singing to them, we all get to listen to them sing to us. Except instead of singing it's words of wisdom from 150 combined years of activism, writing, movement-building✨

    Excited to bring the WWII-era story of The International Sweethearts of Rhythm (the first integrated all-women's band in the U.S.) to the screen. Get a taste of these Jazz icons in their prime:

    Janet Mock set to direct and rewrite THE INTERNATIONAL SWEETHEARTS OF RHYTHM for Sony Pictures. "Plot details are being kept under wraps for the project, which is in early development."

    For B. Pagels-Minor, the pregnant employee Netflix terminated on “suspicion” of a leak, the question became: How can we say very clearly, you can make 25 or 100 specials of LGBTQ+-comedy people for the same price as one Chappelle special?

    Here’s the thread about Halyna that I posted last year when we released the movie. I was lucky to have known her and to have worked with her. ❤️

    Halyna Hutchins, ARCHENEMY’s DP, has a brilliant mind for light and texture. Her tastes and sensibility of what is cinematic were a huge asset for executing our style — the grimy but beautiful feeling I referred to as ROMANTIC BRUTALSM.

    So so proud. 🙌🏾 We cannot be silenced, or erased. We get to say what’s harmful and how it impacts us. Our experiences—and our identities—belong to us. And we will continue to tell our stories.

    In my life, I have a simple barometer by which I measure all things. It is whether my mom would be proud of me for what I've done or am doing. I think she would be very proud today of what I wrote today for the
