Excited to be at the National New Play Network convening at B Street Theatre in Sacramento this weekend! There are more than 65k plays on the NPX Exchange, making it the largest database for new plays by living writers!
"Changing the world for future generations is hard work, and transformation like that brought about by the Atlanta washerwomen is often unsung."

So many stunt queen antics, so little time
I'm convinced that #AgeofAttraction on Netflix is 100% AI generated and edited.
I don't believe in people doing unpaid labor. And also, because people have had such traumatic experiences with being screwed by large companies, we got people with little to no experience doing a thing trying to function like experts and that's also wild. The pendulum has swung way too far.
I feel like people aren't saying enough about how witty and bingeable Keke Palmer' show #TheBurbs is on Peacock. Her and Paula Pell are the comedy duo we never knew we needed. It's definitely fulfilling a need for the Desperate Housewives/Devious Maids crowd.
I want people to want peace more than they want money. That's it and that's all.
I liked her Cinderella story a lot. Idk why people were meh about it. I was invested. Plus, the dresses and hair this season were top tier.
This weekend was so full and beautiful. I gathered with friends to celebrate my bestie's birthday. Two months ago she had brain surgery, but yesterday, we laughed until we cried with our friends. We watched movies, sipped tea, pampered ourselves, made vision boards, and had the best time.
Why they do John like that? What did Francesca ever do to anyone except play the piano and read?! I'm so annoyed. Yes, I know I'm late, but still. #Bridgerton
#Atlanta is outside this weekend and so am I
Hey #Boston, get ready for a two-night only reading event for my play THE WASH. This ensemble comedy, inspired by the Atlanta Washerwomen's Strike of 1881, is timely, heartwarming, and hilarious!

"Planting seeds of care means that healthy, trusting relationships with people are valued over an artistic end-product. Further, the artistic product is allowed to reach excellence when care is centered."

The world needs construction to counter the destruction. Artists are generative. Creative people are called to build, imagine, innovate, grow, tend, garden, and invest. To be an artist is a vitality mode, not a mortality one. Even today, all of creation awaits what you have to reveal. #future
I'm part of the problem because when Gavin Newsom said he had a 960 SAT score, I turned up my nose. I got a near perfect score on the reading and writing portions of the old three-part test. His privilege was showing big time. In all seriousness, I know SAT scores don't matter in the end, but also..
I understand that Rev. Jesse Jackson was a controversial figure in the civil rights movement, but his life is such a powerful example of what it is to not just talk about it but to be about it. He took up the mantle of civil rights after witnessing an assassination. That type of tenacity is rare.
My play THE WASH, a comedy inspired by the Atlanta Washerwomen's Strike of 1881, will have a reading with Front Porch Arts Collective in Boston this April! Check it out!

Less than 20 minutes into "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model," and enter Les Moonves. Between this and "Victoria's Secret Angels and Demons" it's all just so ugh.
What's so wild to me about the current outrage over the Epstein files is that it reveals the gendered nature of media consumption. The Lifetime docuseries came out 5 years ago. Hulu gave us Victoria's Secret Angels and Demons. Only women were watching these programs? The filmmakers have been on it.
The older I get, the more I understand John Mayer's lyric/prayer/plea, "just keep me where the light is."
To be a Black person in America is to truly have popcorn in one hand and a prayer in the other at all times. Watching the lies, betrayal, falso equivalence, shifting personalities, characters exit, characters enter-- this is a soap opera of global scale.
Acting like any women mentioned in the Epstein files are just as culpable as the men who covered up this child trafficking ring for 3 decades-- men in the local, state, & Fed-- is misogynistic. Further, the release isn't righteous. It's a distraction from layoffs, healthcare, and wasteful spending.
I wonder if future historians will call this the age of distraction and false equivalence.
They say it takes 28 days to form a new habit. That means that if you let go of the idea that as long as you're not like Black Americans or Native Americans everything will work out for you, you can have a new outlook on life by March 1. Happy Black History Month!
I wrote this in 2020. It's still relevant today, which is why I share it every Black History Month.

I'm so proud of the students in Metro Atlanta who are walking out of their schools. I love seeing young people motivated and engaged to insist on the future they want.
All of reality TV is middle aged women acting insane. We are truly living with one of the most disappointing generations of elders ever. I want people to live fully their whole lives, but so much of this is hot trash featuring AARP eligible people.
My Instacart from BJs is $189 for 10 grocery items. Aint nobody participating in a race war. We are too tired. Peace, love, and compassion are so much easier to live with. They require more truth and vulnerability, but they're easier than fighting. Look in your heart, not to the internet.
Watching the Barbara Walters documentary, "Tell Me Everything" and learn that the highest rated news interview was the one shr did with Monica Lewinsky, viewed by 70 million people, says everything about our culture. It's all girls behaving badly and spring break aesthetic infantilization. Ugh.
"There are fronts behind fronts. There are facades behind facades, and inside is usually the kid." Bette Midler talking about her friend Barbara Walters.
