It's Wonderful Being a Girl

First cloud cover since we arrived 3 weeks ago. Not a drop of rain on the horizon. On our way to the continent via England. #europeansummer #Swansea2Bristol #gwr (at Wales)

We started @xoxazaha birthday weekend with a #marchforourlives gathering in downtown Fairfax. Beyond proud of my girl who wasn’t going to skip activism and exercising her rights just because it was her birthday 🎂. It was great to talk with local folks who showed up to support and to connect with different ideas while the kids led the way. #Enough #notonemore

My treat for signing a contract and making it to the end of the week. #booklovers #amwriting #luckygirl❤️ @esmewwang

With no help from Mama. #fromscratch #vanillacream #meringue #piday

Sometimes writing is as simple and painful and necessary as digging a splinter out. #amwriting #mondaymotivation #hensinthehood

Rallied a dozen of our people to catch the @ava masterpiece @wrinkleintime on the big screen to clock pre-sale tickets and concessions for opening weekend. Beyond fun- see @stormreid who WAS AMAZING as was @mindykaling Supporting women of color in the arts is the best way to say HAPPY #internationalwomensday #representationmatters #womenofcolorinfilm

We'll be discussing what allyship in tech can and should be. Let's change the direction of tech, together. thndr.me/kwqlE2 http://thndr.me/kwqlE2

Sorry I’m late. Had to school my girl on the Legend that is Luther. #nevertoomuch #1000kissesfromyou #loveisagambleandimsogladthatiamwinning

5 months and some change. And the instant I hear- So you remember the 21st of September- my hips swing to the groove and my heart hits the waterworks ON switch. I’m grateful to have such an iconic tune to commemorate the day of my Dad’s passing. And just like he always told me and I never believed him- I’ve been here holding everybody up - taking my time in stolen corners. I miss you Dad. And thank you for visiting me in my Pandora playlist without fail! (Papa Was A Rollin Stone just came on so I know he’s here with me...) #griefsucks #missyoudad #DontShitYourPants #PlayThatFunkyMusic #hensinthehood #momsolo

Yes yes yes. This movie just changed everything about media and technology and storytelling and how we see our future. If you don’t see it, keep wondering why and keep looking. It’s in all of us. Thanks #ryancoogler #wakandaforever #StorytellersMakeOurWorldsPossible
