I continue to be amazed by the accomplishments of the Moore children. Congratulations, sis (@acmoore02), on your new appointment as budget director for @chicago. @brandon4chicago has a crown jewel in you.
Anybody who knows my sister, either growing up or within minutes of meeting her, recognizes the brilliant mind that she is. Even as a kid, she would pass the time doing brain teaser books. Brain Teasers!! She’s just incredibly smart and I can’t wait to see what you do with this new appointment. Love you!!
Had a chance to chat with some great friends and coworkers about THE INDUSTRY. Working in both the American, and now Canadian TV industries, I’ve gathered a few nuggets… A few things I’ve learned along the way. I’m sharing them here. Take a listen if you dare!

Monday Affirmations. Had a blast being back in TO and celebrating @prettyhardcases and the many talented artists in the @thecdnacademy. What an honor to be nominated and stand along side a brilliant community of artists. Congrats to @kristinfieldhouse and @southcampfilms for the wins!
Thank you to an amazing team of people that helped put me together.
@kellyaugustine, @facesbypureness and @hairspectrum for helping me realize the vision. Y’all knocked it out of the park.
To my wonderful #prettyhardcases and Toron’no family. I love you. Until next time….
One thing comes to an end and another begins. #welostourhuman is now streaming on @netflix. It was so fun being a part of this interactive animation. I play HUMAN. #KIDFRIENDLY #chooseyourownadventure

Happy closing family. I love y’all to the moon and back

#BTS Art is life. Life is art. Hope you’ve had time to process the latest episode of @prettyhardcases. This was a tough, but important story to tell. Thank you @robinalordstafford for writing such a powerful and moving piece and @worldwidewinnie for directing it so thoughtfully. I discussed with the writers the importance of holding our police force accountable for their actions and not just the good ones. In this episode (S.3 Ep.6; Spin Me Around), Kelly has an altercation with cops that shakes her to the core. While this was only a moment I played on television, I know it is often an unfortunate reality experienced by many Black people. It’s important to tell this truth.
When costume designer @lifeofmanek and I discussed Kelly’s wardrobe for this episode, I wanted to be clear on where I stood on the issue. We landed on RESILIENT. Additionally, this piece made me think of my ancestors and the many times they’d suffered at the hands of police brutality. I remember my father telling me stories as a child of him marching for justice or being arrested while staging sit-ins at the diners as a young college student. Yes, my parents were active members of the Freedom Fighters movement at their alma mater of FISK UNIVERSITY. I wanted to honor their sacrifice, their presence in my life and the feeling that they always got my back. Thank you @daniellawilliamsart who drew these pictures of my father’s hand (holding my nephew’s foot) and grandmother from photos I’d given her. You honored them beautifully.
It was important to @b.darenherbert to tell the story of how a black man can comfort and protect his woman. So often black men are ridiculed for not protecting their black women, but it was important to show that there are men out there, that do. And finally to all the women who joined us for the BLACK SISTAH CIRCLE scene. You all were magnificent! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. You all were #blackgirlmagic PERSONIFIED. I didn’t get everyone’s name/IG, but those that I did, I wanted to thank you for coming and being a part of telling such a necessary story.
