Our love is rich like Godiva, sweet like the sugar cane of Haiti, hotter than the Carolina sun. 🤎🤎 The Engagement Edition.
Every time you think of Poussey, think of a real Human Being. Shed a real tear. Get angry about a real death. #PhilandoCastile
This is dope.

What did black people ever do besides be forced to come here, build this country, raise your babies, to only then just want equal rights? 🤔
Yes it’s true. I birthed a diamond. 11.16.19 ❤️♾❤️ My sweet chocolate butter ball.
Our last moment together from season 4! Love this one to the moon and back! #poussey #taystee #taysteetuesday

Back to the stage I go. 🎭 Super excited to bring Beatrice to life.
I'm sad to say I won't be able to make #BWAY4BLM tonight. I'm still filming but I am there in spirit. 💜🍊✊🏾
Time moves so quickly. We’re at the end of the road. This show has been apart of my life for 7 yrs! I’ve been given the chance to stretch myself as an actress, further my reach as an activist, and have become a more confident woman because of this show. I am forever grateful- 🍊
I 💯 believe that we should END BULLYING and have been following this Keaton story but do your research guys. Reports are showing his mother is money hungry and racist. Don’t give to their gofundme account. It’s not in support of anything positive but to put 💰 in her pocket.
Chadwick Boseman was a hero to me. Seeing him rise out of SC and become so successful, bc of him I knew I would be able to as well. Such an inspiration. RIP. 🕊
Really tho!?! See this that ish I be talkin’ bout. 🤦🏿♀️ lol. maybe I should advertise smaller sizes by putting tights on my pinky toe? Sounds dumb don’t it?!? Cue eye roll.

And that’s a wrap for me on #colorpurple Thank you cast, crew, and everyone who had a hand in getting me to this destination. It’s been life changing. I am forever grateful. 💜
Hearing the news of her passing has left me in tears but I’m grateful to God that I got to share this smile with her. Thank you Aretha Franklin for leaving such an incredible legacy for generations among generations to stand on. May you Rest In Peace. 🙏🏾
You know your director is cool as ish when he comes to work in a James Brown shirt. Miss these two. #Peacemaker #bts

To the Orange fans, from far and wide... you all are the most LOYAL, LOVING fans a girl could EVER ask for. You all have held me up when I wanted to give up. When I felt invisible, you saw me. When I felt less than, you encouraged me. Thank you! P.S. It’s always been for you 💋DB

Don’t let this whole Lady G stuff be a distraction. He might or might not be out of the closet but what we need to focus on is getting him OUT of OFFICE. June 9th- make your voice be heard and VOTE SC!!!
On this day, I celebrate Queen Hattie McDaniel. Because of her, I am. On Feb 29, 1940, she became the first African American to win an Academy Award.

Love on your kids. Gay, straight, or trans. Love on your children.

Just heard the passing of #NatalieDesselleReid She was beyond kind and I’m grateful we were able to share a few conversations together. I stand on her shoulders, and I will make sure to always remind people of her legacy and contribution to this industry. 🕊 😢
