I knew this place felt a bit dated.... I was like 5yo when it was dedicated. This lady was almost in tears when she noticed the plaque. However, on second take, that year was not the one she was mourning... Reading is fundamental. Grace should be too. We declared and agreed that God is good. Shout out to CG, "Crazy Grandma". RIP to those you lost. Hope you land that Royal Caribbean gig!

As I stood in front of One World Trade Center on July 2, 2026, I couldn't help but reflect on what its symbolism means for me as a Black American.

I'm smiling in this photo, appreciating the beauty of its architecture. Standing 1,776 feet tall, One World Trade Center intentionally echoes the year of the Declaration of Independence, symbolizing freedom, strength, and unity. But I'm also standing in a country where my history, ancestry, and identity have always had a complicated relationship with the very ideals it celebrates.

To be Black in America has often meant being free-ish. The "ish" is the weight of stolen labor that built this nation, laws that denied opportunity, systems that separated families and communities, and generations forced to fight for rights that were promised but never fully delivered.

So for me, America's 250th🇺🇸 isn't just a celebration—it's a reflection. It's a moment to honor the immeasurable contributions and sacrifices of Black Americans, acknowledge the unfinished promise of "all are created equal," and celebrate the resilience that has continually pushed this country closer to its own ideals.

I can love this country and still demand that it live up to the principles on which it was founded. Those truths can exist together. I hold both of these truths to be self-evident. ✊🏾

The Soapbox Presents curated a diverse line up of Juneteenth🟥⬜🟦 events and activities that rejuvenated the mind and the soul. 🔥 It all started Friday, June 19th at Riverbank state with the 🎺The 5th Annual Big Band Jubilee.🎹 Then Saturday, the 20th, “We Outside!” returned to Downtown Brooklyn, Presented by 651 ARTS ➕ The Soapbox Presents. It was an all-day Juneteenth celebration rooted in Black joy, expression, and togetherness.💃🏽

@marija_abney “Providing FREE cultural community first programming is hard. Gathering as a community to celebrate the brilliance of our people is reason enough for us, regardless of where it is.“ ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
And the programming @thesoapboxpresents put together did not miss.🔥 It definitely was a vibrant public gathering where music, movement, storytelling, food, artistry, and community collide.🗽

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY TO MY BOO THANG!!!!

@latrishatstaples look at us…I limited the throwback pics to 20 years or less…but trust I left out some GOOD ONES!

From middle school cheerleading, to high school shenanigans, to college days, to young adulthood, to creating families, and EVERYTHING in between. I’m so glad I got over that feud/non-feud that everyone tried to create between us over a boy in 7th grade…because life without you definitely wouldn’t have been as good.

Love you to pieces my love and I hope you are doing EXACTLY what we discussed you would be doing today. Completely and happily. Full and rested.

Still riding the high from Lend Me a Tenor at @portlandstageco

Huge thanks to our crew, who made the chaos look effortless. And to this cast… absolute delight from first rehearsal to final curtain. Generous, sharp, and game for every bit. Feeling lucky I got to be part of it.
