POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The night I accepted my award, I cried for every moment this industry has given me - the highs as tall as mountains and the unbearable lows.

I never felt I needed validation for my craft, but I fully embrace having it. Thank you to everyone who made this happen: the cast, crew, writers, and producers who trusted me with Louie, and my team who has been in my corner through it all. AND to the community of fans who showed up, voted, shared, and cheered for me - this is yours as much as mine! Let my story fuel whatever you’re chasing. Never quit. Keep working on what keeps you fulfilled.

The exhibit was curated by local artists James McClung and Marcus Mercado. Some of Norton journalism students’ photos were featured as part of photo collages created and assembled by the Inland Empire Immigrant Youth Collective @ie_iyc . @swingauditorium performed inside The Cheech at the exhibit’s opening. Photos of local artists @halfwaytoneptune @jared.wright.art @323.raw were featured in the collage along with family/childhood photos and photos documenting student involvement in sports, extracurriculars, and activism.

2006-2009, My Years as a Senior Coordinator of the Black Student Union at San Francisco State University didn’t just build memories, it built my soul.
I sat with @officialchairmanfredhamptonjr and called him a friend. That friendship became possible thru @jrvalrey.

I met @guypatricelumumba , son of the great Patrice Lumumba, a moment that reminded me exactly what lineage means. I stood in rooms with Christopher Muhammad and the Nation of Islam, learning what organized love for our people truly looks like.

Then there was @officialdannyglover. He was on the front lines at San Francisco State University in 1968, part of the revolution that gave birth to the first Black Studies department in American history. I met him during the celebration of that very legacy. 2008. Nine years later at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles, he remembered me. Pulled me backstage. Showed me love like no time had passed. That was confirmation.

I sat in the presence of Harry Belafonte. And we were treated as VIPs to witness the Honorable Louis Farrakhan speak, not by accident, but because of the work the Black Student Union was pouring into the community.

I performed at the protest against Lennar Homes and the environmental hazard they posed to Bayview Hunters Point. I called out Gavin Newsom by name. And the newspaper caught it. (look up the article)

I studied personally under Dr. Théophile Obenga, one of the greatest African philosophers of the 20th century. What you see in my hands in the 2nd photo isn’t just a book. It’s a lineage. It’s the foundation. African philosophy isn’t something I stumbled upon, but it was handed to me by a giant.

For those who come to me like I’m a neophyte. None of this happened overnight.

After all of it...I went quiet. I stepped back. Not because I was done, but because I was becoming. Politics cracked me open and led me straight to a spiritual awakening I didn’t see coming.

The roots had to go deep before the tree could rise.
And now? I come bearing fruit.
