Here’s a personal anecdote/fact: 7 years ago after knowing me for 1 week my former boss
@JoyAnnReid
threw me a baby shower at NBC after I told her I was a gay man expecting a child with my lesbian best friend.

If you aren’t screaming at your TV right now bc Eddie Murphy is on SNL bringing back Mr. Robinson’s neighborhood we probably can’t sit next to each other on the school bus.

When you watch Malcolm & Marie this weekend keep in mind that Zendaya made sure the entire crew had the opportunity to own equity shares that would give them a bonus payday when the film was sold. This needs to be a new trend. 👏🏾🙌🏾
Bravo to Lifetime, an entertainment network, for allocating a significant budget to tell the stories of black female victims that should have long been breaking news on major cable/network news platforms.
#SurivingRKelly
The Hollywood Foreign Press hasn't a black voting member in the past 20 years. Now the snubs for I May Destroy You,
Da Five Bloods, Sylvie's Love, Insecure, The Chi, Pose, Queen Sugar, and Malcolm & Marie, make more sense.
#TimesUpGlobes
For the young kids at home watching: Misty Copeland is not a Taylor Swift background dancer but the first African American woman to be promoted to principal dancer in American Ballet Theater’s 75-year history.

’s last televised interview with Tina Turner in 2013 she asked her about her legacy and her will to endure. “My legacy is being a person that strived for wanting it better, and got it!”
#RIPTinaTurner
"This is why I wish I wasn’t the only woman directing a musical on Broadway this season. There’s so many women and artists of color ready to go.” 👏🏾🙌🏾

If I had it my way I would have had “L” embroidered on most of my shirts in middle school bc I couldn’t stop watching old reruns Laverne & Shirley after school. Rest In excellence Penny Marshall.
Not only did the Emmys neglect to give Ava DuVernay the best director Emmy award for When They See Us, but they completely have overlooked her other TV series "Queen Sugar." Something needs fixed.
#Emmys
Tyler Perry told everyone to sit down when he came out so that he could speak life into the room and give everyone a reason to jump to their feet.
#BETAwards
Fun fact: This year marks just the 2nd time two Black women have simultaneously been up for best actress. The 1st time was when both Diana Ross and Cicely Tyson were up for the award in 1973.
#Oscars
This image of soon-to-be Royal Princess Megan Markle and her beautiful black mother Doria Ragland just hours before her royal wedding gives me goosebumps. 👏🏾👏🏾
My biggest question after watching
#FramingBritneySpears
is how does a 39-year-old woman with the emotional/mental capacity to perform, tour and bring in millions of dollars in revenue annually need a conservator?
#FreeBritney
Just left a screening of Top Gun Maverick. It’s glorious! My biggest concern is how to make it through the weekend without the
@ladygaga
anthem “Hold My Hand,” playing on repeat “on my phone.”
Here's the moment Chris Rock made a "G.I. Jane 2" joke about Jada Pinkett Smith, prompting Will Smith to punch him and yell, "Leave my wife’s name out of your f--king mouth."
#Oscars
Every time I interviewed Chadwick Boseman he made me feel like I deserved to be in the room. He made me feel like we deserved to be in the room. Rest in power king 👑.
#ChadwickForever
Tonight we celebrated the 10-year-anniversary of Rachel Maddow
@MSNBC
. She’s legendary on so many levels. Here’s to many more years of slaying! W/

Why is my adrenaline pumping like I don’t already know the beginning, middle, end credits and every dip and bop in between?

When They See Us was game-changing, event TV. A piece of work that will be discussed decades for decades to come. Ava DuVernay deserved the Emmy.
#Emmys
This evening at the repass can someone gently tap Ciecely Tyson on the shoulder and let her know that we need her hat for the purpose of being displayed in the National Musem of African American History in an effort to preserve the culture?
#ArethaHomegoing
Murphy Brown was “woke” before it was thing, and intolerant and outspoken as a woman when it wasn’t so acceptable in a newsroom. How timely and appropriate for her to return after 20 years too long, today.
#MurphyBrown
This just might be my favorite
@octaviaspencer
role ever. I love this new space being created for black leads in big budget psychological thrillers.
#MaMovie
Let’s not forget that RuPaul came thru in the 1980s as a young black man fearlessly defining drag culture in NYC. Tonight he’s making history as the first drag performer to host Saturday Night Live.
#SNL
2 minutes into the first major event of the 2020 Presidential election, and Senator Kamala Harris appears more regal and presidential than we’ve witnessed since Obama left the oval office.
#HarrisTownHall
Welp, Jay Z just called out The Recording Academy for Beyoncé being the most-Grammy winning artist of all time (32) - yet never having been awarded “Album of the Year”
#Grammys
After careful review I’ve come to the conclusion that the biggest winner at last night’s Billboard Awards was Normani. She’s the one to watch. That girl will soon sell out arenas.
#BillboardMusicAwards
I have absolutely no clue how to talk to my 10-year-old son about today's elementary school shooting. It doesn't make sense and it shouldn't make sense.
Tonight as we say goodbye to Olivia Pope & Associates lets take a minute to celebrate Shonda Rhimes and Kerry Washington for shattering a glass ceiling for black women in Hollywood and ushering the era of must see tweet-worthy primetime scripted TV.
#ScandalFinale
Eddie Murphy, Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, and Keenan Thompson on stage together is black excellence and the Kings of Comedy tour or Netflix comedy special we all need!
#SNL
Here's the thing, Schitt's Creek is truly one of the most therapeutic pieces of content to consume in the midst of this pandemic. Once you watch, this sweep will all make sense.
#Emmys2020
What’s been the most incredible part of watching this show is seeing a black woman, unapologetically conduct interviews about us, on behalf of us during a primetime cable news broadcast.
