Just got some lockdown photo edits from a friend who’s using some of his time to edit old projects. Friendly reminder that we’re all experiencing and using this time differently and they’re all ok and “normal” 📸 @mattmorrisfilms
Reminder to watch the season finale of @therookieabc tonight and to call your moms if you can or I’ll cuff you
🐴 Fun fact: if you feed a horse it will remember you for 7 years. I too will remember you if you feed me for 7 years. Still dreaming of @duckduckgoatchi @uchiaustin & ms faye’s sweet peas 🤠 🤤 Rolling Hills Horse Ranch

Despite what happened in last night’s episode I still think @haroldperrineau is the best. He is so kind and such a talent(he’s been in SO many great projects: The Matrix!! Romeo & Juliet!! LOST!!) I had a great time working with him and can’t wait for you to see the rest of our story next week on @therookieabc
Here’s a picture of the last time I was in a bar. Fortunately I was with some great people filming tomorrow night’s @therookieabc Unfortunately I was drinking water with a splash of coke (to give it beer color). Next time I get the chance I will be going a bit harder than that. Ireland’s 32
Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain, GA – MLK
It felt good to hike this mountain especially after this recent historic election in Georgia. While the horrific history is still present and there’s more mountain to climb I’m hopeful for where we’re headed. One gleam of hope is @gillybrewbar which is a business that exists in a house on the former “white side” of the train tracks, built by slaves and is now owned by a Black woman. And they have GREAT coffee and oat milk! Take that racists!
As a white person I can’t fully understand white supremacy because as @sonyareneetaylor eloquently put it I’m “swimming in the depths of the ocean of it, like fish breathing it in”. I agree with Sonya and think we need to come up for air and listen to the folks on the surface who are getting “hit by the waves—people of color, especially Black and Indigenous folks—and trust their experiences in order for white folks to collectively figure out how to dismantle white supremacy”.
While I haven’t figured out how to do that TODAY I think it starts by us each taking our personal power back. My hope today is to elevate some voices on my little mountaintop that are leading conversations and making real change for our BIPOC friends & family and encourage you to take your own inspired action daily to better our world. After all, we’re each a drop in the same sea🌊

@witchesinthewoodsmovie is coming out tomorrow (4/24) on iTunes and Amazon! It’s about a group of college kids who set out on a road trip and get stranded in the wilderness. While confined to a tight place and facing uncertainty they slowly start to lose their sanity and question reality. Fear creates distortion and makes them cast judgement, blame and punishment against anyone who is deemed different and dangerous. (This feels familiar but I can’t put my finger on it) Hope this helps you stay inside and get scared by something other than the news! 📸 @lujomedia

This is a list of black men and women who have been murdered by the police in recent years. They were all unarmed.
The names in yellow were 21 and under.
The youngest on this list is Tamir Rice. He was 12.
Many of the officers who committed these crimes were not charged for them.
Say their names because black lives matter ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿/////// This is devastating. I’ve struggled with what to say and realize I don’t have the right words. But I’m here to listen and willing to learn. I encourage all of my non poc friends to do the same. If we want change we have to sit with our pain and be willing to be uncomfortable. My friend @sashahutchings did a live today with @nikkywalks that was very heartfelt and informative. I’ll post it in my stories along with some other people to listen to/ways to take action.

Elijah McClain was a massage therapist who loved animals and would play his violin to stray cats on his lunch breaks so they wouldn’t be lonely. His friends and family said he loved to dance and sing. He was such a sweet soul. On August 24th of last year he was detained on his way home from picking up an iced tea for his brother in Aurora, Colorado. He was held in a carotid hold and given an overdose of ketamine to restrain him. He had a heart attack on the way to the hospital and died three days later after being declared brain dead.
He was unarmed. He was 23. His last words as the officers held him down are heartbreaking. Elijah was an angel on Earth. While victims of police brutality don’t need to be angels, when a sweet and tender soul like Elijah or Breonna Taylor (an unarmed essential worker who was in her home!) is killed from a police encounter and no wrongdoing is found it’s obvious that it’s WAY past due to dismantle this oppressive and demonstrative system.

Excerpt from Martin Luther King’s speech “Where do we go from here?”
“If I limit one person’s freedoms I limit my own” -Orland Bishop speaking of the meaning of the Zulu word Sawubona. Which means “we see you” as an invitation to a deep witnessing and presence. This greeting forms an agreement to affirm and investigate the mutual potential and obligation that is present in a given moment. At its deepest level, Orland explains, this “seeing” is essential to human freedom. Via @globalonenessproject No one is free until we all are free. #juneteenthcelebration
