(UPDATE: We won! Thank you @americanblackfilmfestival!)

What if…? Black Panther, but make it Western.
Hey Auntie🤠🤠

Here’s our entry for the #ABFFscenestealers competition. The challenge was to recreate a brief scene from an iconic Black film or TV show… so we decided to put our own spin on it. (The challenge also required a green apple. See if you can spot it.🍏)

Happy Black History Month, y’all. Wakanda Forever.

Could not be more thrilled to post this.
Tune into PRIMOS on Disney Channel tomorrow morning to meet Gwennifer, the character I’ve had the most fun playing, on the show that has been a dream come true.
Being a part of this series means more to me than I can explain. This is the show I needed to see when I was a kid, and knowing that so many kids (and grown up kids) can now see themselves represented in Natasha Kline’s story is everything.
Getting to celebrate my birthday and this first full episode with my character, during THIS MONTH?!?! Beyond.
Getting to play someone who is a little bit bad? THE BEST. 😏

P.S. All of the episodes are on Disney+ and they are all GOLD. The cast and the stories are epic, you’re gonna laugh your butt off. See you there! taken in Walt Disney Animation Studios by @hellomayamo

Winning @americanblackfilmfestival’s 2026 Scene Stealers brought me to Miami for my first ABFF, and wow.

Getting to celebrate and connect with my peers and folks who inspire me was everything. It felt like a family reunion. I’m so fulllllll.

Being surrounded by the community, the TALENT, and the joy that has been cultivated over 30 years is going to carry me until the next ABFF 😘 See you then. Thank you ABFF. taken in Miami Beach, Florida by @hellomayamo

KING KILLMONGER.

Collaborated with the most incredible team to re-make Black Panther as a Western film for @americanblackfilmfestival. Word for word with the script, but a whole new take on it. It’s the first pinned post on my page, check it out.

Fear will keep you small for as long as you let it.
But sometimes you reach a tipping point — where your body can’t hold the resistance anymore.

That’s when you don’t fight the fear… you move through it.

Full episode with @hellomayamo is live!

Last month I decided to fully commit to acting. No safety net. No plan B.

Last week I acted every single day, in every medium I love.
I’m living my dream. 🥹

• on camera in an incredible Black femme-led and created comedic pilot

• on stage in a dramatic activist theatre piece penned and directed by badass women

• in the booth voicing a character for a studio I’ve dreamed of working with

• at SAG-AFTRA in a showcase for one of my favorite (Black women-led!!!) casting offices in LA

Every project had an amazing group of people involved. Every one of these brought me so much joy and play. I’m so grateful.

🥠 Swipe to the end for a message from my fortune cookie at lunch on set.🥠
