5th Birthday x NYU Film 🎞. I’ve always had a preoccupation with Barbie, feeling too Black for the white kids, and too white for the Black ones. As I step into this new season, it’s so important to speak my truth — I am #blackgirlmagic personified, and you are too ✨ #throwback #tbt #hollywood #TV #film #NYU #tisch #producer #bme #thetea #inspire #inspo #motivation

#TheTea: DAY 1☕️. ✨✨✨
This week marks the first year anniversary of founding my production company, Black Monarch Entertainment, and I’m taking a trip down memory lane … 🎬💞
Episode 1: In October of last year (2020), the world was different. We were isolated mid-panny, the orange dude was still in office, and anxiety levels were at an all-time high. I wanted a way to combat the “Tuesday Blues,” 💙 the gloomy cloud that always seemed to follow me on Tuesdays ☁️, and decided to go live (for the first time ever!) to share my daily tea ritual + re-connect with friends. 🦋@simplytwiggy was so sweet & gracious to join me!
Ever since, the Communi-tea has grown…✨

MY MOODIES 🍿. ✨✨✨

As we honor my #mcm Daddy-O (@drreggie100) today, we must shout out MY MOODIES, the first ever production we did together over a decade ago. MY MOODIES combines the sisterhood of The Power Puff Girls, the adventures of Ed, Edd n Eddy, and the sophisticated comedy of Dexter’s Laboratory to create a story driven, animated comedy series — much love to the homies! 👯♀️🦋
