MY OPEN LOVE LETTER TO JAMES EMMANUEL:You sing the “Souls of Black folks”. Your writing. Your voice. Your songs. Communicate our tragedy and our triumph. Of course #MarvinGaye is sitting over your shoulder. You are indeed from his tree. ‘Healing’ and ‘Brothers and Sisters’ appeared one day on my Spotify - I couldn’t stop listening to how deeply moving and powerful your message is within these songs. A call to Black men to heal. A call to Black men to honor the Black woman. THANK YOU FOR SAYING YES. @jamesemmanuelofficial #movies #music #family #brotherhood THEY FIGHT NOW PLAYING HULU & DISNEY + by @sheldoncandis

Sheldon Candis didn’t set out to make another boxing movie.Inspired by Rocky, the director imagined what that story would look like through the experiences of Black families and communities. In They Fight, the boxing ring is only part of the story. The real focus is mentorship, community and the belief that every young person deserves the space to dream.Swipe through for a closer look at the vision behind the film, then head to Andscape.com to read Marcus Shorter’s full analysis. by @sheldoncandis

Baltimore stories deserve a global stage. They Fight, now steaming on Hulu and Disney+ , is more than a film premiere, it’s a reminder of what’s possible when Baltimore creatives are given the opportunity to tell our stories. Directed by Baltimore native, @sheldoncandis , and filmed right here in our city, this project showcases the talent, collaboration, and creative energy of Charm City. by @sheldoncandis
