This is how we did the holidays 🎁 Critical Barbra: Perspectives on the First Global Jewish Superstar at Gocthe University in Frankfurt (pictured is the presentation on Queer Jews by Michele Aaron, Warwick University), screened shorts in Paris with @piapia.asso.media, and screened “Black Is Blue” in Athens with the Lala artist residency. Sending you all love ❤️
“Everyone needs a Paula” One of my lines from She Don’t Fade, my 1992 short film made with love and care with my baby dyke community in Philly. Paula now needs some love and care. Can you help? Her GoFundMe is linked in my bio 🤎
Thank you @barshiruoakland for inviting me to kick off this season of the Selector Series. I’ll be spinning hella fun tunes this Wednesday night from 9pm to midnight at @barshiruoakland. Join me! This is for the OP (Oakland Pride)!
I’m still glowing about being the recipient of this year’s James Robert Brudner Award. In the midst of all the heaviness and grief we have been experiencing in the world right now, it was truly uplifting to spend two days with faculty and students at Yale and reconnect with old friends in NYC. It reminds me to always have, like Robert Brudner, the courage and tenacity to bring about change in the world. I would like to especially thank Thomas Harris for the walk down memory lane that we shared together. You are my brother in so many ways.

As the WGA strike and Bay Area heat come to an end, I’m grateful for the silver lining—precious summer time with my community and fam. It was a joy being able to see and experience so much with the people I love. #summerrecap☀️ #wgastrong

My Aunt Betty passed away this week. She was one of my father’s nine siblings. I didn’t get to know many of them but I did get to know Betty who shared many stories with me about growing up in her Liberian village. She was a very dynamic woman. Betty came to the states, like my father, and eventually landed a job at the post office in Newark, New Jersey where she worked until she retired. After years of dementia, she’s has finally moved on. Rest in peace and power Auntie. 🖤
Happy birthday to the original vampire slayer from me and the entire JingleTown family! @vampyrevamp 🎉
