@duvernay.bsky.social: "Families, Black, white, Native, immigrant, who walk through the doors of Smithsonian museums and feel that this country might just make room for them after all. That is not indoctrination. That is belonging. That is education. That is democracy.”

I once sat in a room with Elon Musk. I watched, listened, waited ... This is it? This is the genius we’re all supposed to be in awe of? I remember feeling underwhelmed. Unimpressed ... mediocrity in this man and others like him is so normalized, so falsely praised - @duvernay.bsky.social

Looking forward to seeing the Sinners movie this weekend. I appreciate director-writers like Ryan Coogler, Ava DuVernay and Jordan Peele unapologetic centering of blackness in their work, and their freedom to create what they want, HOW they want. As someone who writes such stories I’m so inspired.
Experienced Ava Duvernay's beautifully creative bio pic "Origin" last night, that shines a light in the dark corners of our collective consciousness right now + inspires the heart. On Hulu. Don't miss it! If not now, when? @duvernay.bsky.social #inspiration #movies #biography

This scene is beautifully recreated in the Ava DuVernay film ORIGIN.
