It’s difficult to put into words what yesterday meant to me. And all the feels I experienced throughout the day. Many of you have been on this journey with me so you know it is the Mt. Everest of dreams. It has been a whirlwind leading up to this moment but I stayed present and soaked it alll up with all my beautiful cast-mates as evidenced by this chatty interview on the TIFF red carpet! 😁
.
I’m going to be posting a lot of memories from yesterday over the next few days so I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed experiencing it.
.
Thank you to #torontointernationalfilmfestival and @netflix for this beautifully orchestrated event and to our magnificent leader @tylerperry and @tylerperrystudios for believing in me. This was a dream come true and a memory that will never fade. Onward!! 🚀🇧🇲❤️

Um…this freaked me out a bit. I asked ChatGPT about matatabi sticks for cats and this is what it asked me. I have no idea whose cats these are but they are not mine. I hope it’s not sharing my information with complete strangers. 🫪
.
“I mixed you up with another conversation and shouldn’t have done that.” WTF??!?!

We have a complicated relationship but we work hard on it. Today was a good day. Happy Father’s Day, dad. I’m grateful that my mother and my stepmother support us both on this journey.
.
To everyone who has lost their father or experiencing their first Father’s Day without theirs, my heart is with you. And to the others who haven’t had the easiest journey with theirs, I see you. Self love is the answer! 🙏🏽❤️ taken in Bermuda by @actorlanayoung

ASCENSION - Indigo
.
The first time I stood in front of DeDe Brown’s masterpiece my body reacted in a way I can’t explain. There was an immediate feeling of peace and magic with a visceral remembering that felt generational, inherited. There was also a deep sorrow but more for the inconceivable horror that came before this powerful rebirth I observed in Dede’s work.
.
It felt like I was witnessing a resurrection, a symbol of the women who never made it across the Atlantic alive. Women who entered the ocean in terror, resistance, illness, grief, exhaustion, or surrender. And yet, standing before this painting, I felt transformation. A triumphant emergence. As though even in the face of horror, she transcended into someone who could not be owned, traded or erased. A sort of divinity. It stirred something ancestral in me. Ascension. 🙏🏽 And I smiled as I wept because, again, we rise and make magic out of pain.
.
This is what I see in Dede’s work, I’m curious what you see. You can enjoy DeDe‘s work starting tomorrow at @154artfair at my bestie’s booth number 15. Lisa Howie @blackponygallery shares works from Bahamian artists @dbrowntheartist @jason_ayer_bennett and Tyrone Ferguson. I’ll be there helping this weekend.
.
1-54 Art Fair opens tomorrow through Sunday.
Starrett-Lehigh Building - 600 W. 27th St. Manhattan, NY
.

Visit @154artfair for ticket information.
