I just learned that Joy Luck Club's Director, Wayne Wang, also directed The Last Holiday and this brings me oodles of joy. Two of my favorites.

Here's more context on the realities of selling a show:
Congratulations! You've sold a show to a network after months (or sometimes years) of developing the pitch, sometimes under a studio if/come deal for no compensation, or on your own.
Now you wait for the deal to close...

The Burden is so close to being done! I plan to have a screening for the cast and crew. Anyone in LA have places they dig for at least 50 people?

A guy at Starbucks asked me how to pronounce my name and I told him and then he said it’s whatever. This is my villain origin story.

cursing myself for scheduling a Monday morning call with two people who have the same quiet voices as the schwetty balls SNL ladies. Cannot keep my eyes open. The struggle is real.

Shout out to the friends who are there through thick and thin. I am grateful for my peoples who don't require that I'm winning to stick around or show up. I have collected two hard L's in the last two weeks and the support has made the grief easier to sit with.

I really love the way I handle rejection. My first reaction to hearing I’ve been rejected from something:

I'd love to tell you this allowed me to make peace with the dust, but alas... beautiful sentiment, though.
I watched an episode of Beef, thought about how rage can destroy, got in my car and promptly went off on someone who almost side swiped me. I have learned NOTHING. (Crow flies by)

The whole Angel Reese discourse of “no class” is quite literally a case as old of time, humbling black women. We can’t be boastful, we aren’t allowed. If we do, we are uppity, we are bougie, we are ungrateful, we are classless.
With that I say, “fuck you”.

We made history tonight. The first all trans masculine team to play a football match in Europe against a cis men’s team.
A lot of our team hadn’t played sport since school. I’ve never felt Community like it. This is trans joy. And trans people belong in sport. 🏳️⚧️😭

I really wish when mothers shared how incredibly difficult young children are, people's responses didn't include "just wait until they're teens" No one depressed and struggling has some hopeful age in their head when they think the hard will end. Stop telling mamas that shit.

Proactive support is a beautiful gift of true community.
Witness wisdom, beauty and joyful craft in others? Amplify their vision. Initiate connections. Celebrate abundance in opportunities.
It's the most common compassionate leadership I see disregarded yet w/ most impact.
