Moving the needle one step at a time Artemis II nailed the landing (& other wins)

This week’s Tiny Pieces is about #perseverance -- from the end of NASA's 1st lunar mission in over 50 years to the Curiosity Rover, still going after 14. I also had a new #romcom premiere on @hallmark.bsky.social, 4 years after my first TV episode aired!

A Little Park Music, the Hallmark film I had the chance to co-write last year, is premiering at 8pm on Saturday, April 11, on Hallmark Channel/ W in Canada! Catch it the next day on Hallmark Plus. It's really sweet and music-y. A perfect balm amidst the chaos.

On this week’s Tiny Pieces, I relive my night my phone fell on the subway tracks, how to find alternate solutions to tricky problems (in writing and in life), and why little details can sometimes wait when in that writing flow state.

You may know me as a scriptwriter but I’m also a poet — & on March 7 at The Lincoln Center, I’ll be returning to my poetry roots for Inua Ellams: Falling Into You R.A.P Party... where I’ll perform a new piece inspired by Celine Dion’s If That’s What It Takes.

Loved the Bad Bunny halftime show, every second of it. So
Much Love — and that last moment of all the flags of the Americas: “Together, we are America.” Yes! Like he said: The only thing more powerful than hate is love. ❤️
