In 2002, I covered the murder of @OfficialRunDMC DJ #JamMasterJay. A yr later, I filed a 5-part investigative news report on the unsolved case. 18 years later, today, at 2:30 PM, Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn & the NYPD will announce the indictments of two ppl for his murder.

Pls watch TONIGHT from 7-10PM EST as I join @essence for a necessary convo. My panel, #DearBlackMen, addresses how black men/women can support each other during these troubling times. RSVP at for a link to view. Thx, #EssenceStudios, for including me.

Yaaaaaaaaaaas, @MoreReginaHall! We know what time it is! You betta represent for DC! Loved every second of that. BEST #BETAWARDS OPEN EVER! Granted, I’m biased! And thank you for not saying “DMV.” #DC

A few commercial breaks later, still recovering from @ciara's choreography. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Yay, @DaveChappelle! After his revival last night & an impromptu dressing rm performance before an audience of 10 of us 2 nights ago at the Roots' Jam Session, I'm convinced he's 1 of the smartest, funniest, realest, coolest ppl on Earth! Good job #Grammys voters! #DaveChappelle

No disrespect to the night's remaining presenters/winners, but serious question (asking for a friend): Whyyyyyyyyyy didn't the #GoldenGlobes end with #Oprah? No, really?

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

#WhatIKnowForSure is @Oprah is simply the beginning, the middle, and the end! NO ONE compares nor competes. God definitely spent precious extra time on her. #OprahWinfrey will lead us to the Promised Land. She can lead me anywhere! Let's go, #Oprah! #GoldenGlobes #TimesUp

#MariahCarey made quite the splash, serving real-life, snaaaaaaatched waist, sheer-assed, look-back-at-it mermaid realness. #GoldenGlobes

YES to that #SterlingKBrown speech! YES to #ViolaDavis & her hair! YES to the iconic #CarolBurnett. YES to the $1M #HFPA grant for journalists to continue truth-telling. YES to the #TimesUp mvmt! And of course, YES, in advance, to Queen Mother #Oprah! #GoldenGlobes

If @IssaRae & @JayREllis ("Lawrence") had a kid, that baby's teeth would be beyond perfect. Guaranteed @Colgate campaign! #BlackGirlsRock

Wise words from #SuzanneShank, who built a TRILLION dollar Wall Street firm. TRILLION dollar! Just wow! 🙌🏾

I mean...@YaraShahidi's #BlackGirlsRock speech set the bar for awards show speeches. Impeccable! Kudos to her amazing parents. Superb job!

Sitting w/ the indomitable visionary @BEVERLYBOND watching her creation, @BLACKGIRLSROCK, on @BET. Hope you're watching 2! #BlackGirlsRock

I've covered #MetGala 7-8x. 1st time (2005) I was told day-of that my day would end w/ a carpet. Who knew it was THE carpet?! I wore jeans.😱

West Coast: Hope you're 👀-ing the lastest 🔥 from Queen Mother @Oprah, @HeLaMovie, on @HBO. Her performance is award-worthy. #HenriettaLacks
