Nik Canon, Sophia Dawson + Jealous vs. GREAT Coworkers

Three years ago, I got to film an interview with Nick Canon. I ended up chatting with him afterward about the meaning of the artwork behind him. They were part of a stunning collection made by Sophia Dawson, and I couldn't help but ramble on and on about my favorite piece - it depicted the children of the Black Panthers in a classroom, some of them had already been orphaned by the FBI's COINTELPRO activities. He bought the painting outright for 8k. It was a great moment, that I never truly got recognition for...

New Addition to the "Willow" Project: Fiscal Sponsorship for Filmmakers

We finally went for it! I found a team, built a dream - and we went for it! And we’re still going for it. And I’m still proud - we’re making a movie. And good work takes time.

To our supporters & friends alike: Thank you all for showing so much love and kindness to me and the “Willow” crew. It makes everything so much more worth the work.

Brief Talks w/ David Crownson: Mitch McConnell

Back in 2017, I recorded an interview with a good friend of mine, David Crownson who happens to also be the creator of Harriet Tubman : Demon Slayer. The interview lasted 4 hours - because we both have ADD and like to talk a lot. So I cut out the rabbit trails, and made a series out of it, called: "Brief Talks w/ David Crownson" Enjoy!

As a society, we have become more aware of the fact that HIV is running rampant within the urban community, and it is no longer a death sentence. The need for preventative and supportive measures are a necessity, and we are the generation of change.

This Guy is Writing 100 Colleges For Antifascist Representation

I was arguing with some folks the other day. I was like, "No platform for Nazis!" And they were like, "Everybody deserves to be heard!"

Libraries = StartUp Offices for the Poor


If you haven't heard already, Shared Work Spaces are all the rage. They're also all the expensive (sic). Rates average about $200/monthly. For the nonprofit/startup on the budget, that's too much sauce. So there are other options. Coffee shops are one. In my very unscientific research, they average about $10-20/daily - since they insist on you buying something while there.

NIKE IS CO-OPTING REVOLUTIONARY RHETORIC TO SELL THEIR BULLSHIT SHOES

The tweet read, “IF WE CAN BE EQUALS IN SPORT, WE CAN BE EQUALS EVERYWHERE.” All caps. Because champions don’t use lower case. This is a really weird statement because we’re obviously not all equal in sports. My understanding is that the whole point of sports is to see who’s better at doing the sport. If everybody was equal and all sports were tied, nobody would watch.

100 Days of Resistance: Day 10 "The Forest For The Trees"

Yes, each new salvo against civil liberties is important and deserving of our attention and our activism. However, at the same time, Trump fired the acting Attorney General for daring to disagree with him and impugned her character in the process.
