About last night. #bboybluestheplay was wonderful! The play is based on the #novel #bboyblues by my “jood” judy @james.e.hardy.9 The #book changed my life. Up until the point where I first read it, I’d never seen anything that reflected the world I lived in so vividly. Last night the kids brought those characters to life in the most amazing ways. It was also good to connect with friends I hadn’t seen in a minute. #prideweekend continues. #newyork #nyc #newyorkcity #pride #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia #blackboyjoy #bboyblues #theater #theater (at Theatre Row) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfOc61huMm1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was a pleasure to attend the SPECIAL PRESENTATION of B-Boy Blues Reposted from @jussiesmollett This film, this family, this story. This past weekend, we screened my feature film, directorial debut, @bboybluesthefilm for the first time with an actual audience. The reaction was overwhelming. So grateful to each person that came out. I have so many words of gratitude for so many so I’m going to be spotlighting some of our incredible team who have made this project come together in the next few weeks and it starts with my friend, hero, and our King @james.e.hardy.9. James is the Father of this entire project. It started with a book that changed so many minds and made so many of us feel seen, heard and understood. Then there was the play (which is showing again this December so check out James page for updates). And folks got to see a new take on a classic that still means so much. Now it’s a FILM and I’m honored to be able to usher this version in. Your faith and trust has been a light in my life when there was not much light in sight. To hear your words and know you are proud is all that has ever mattered to me. I speak for myself and so many others when I say… thank you. I love you for life. #BBoyBluesTheFilm #BBoyBlues (at AMC Magic Johnson Harlem 9) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWlpQ4vl5ib/?utm_medium=tumblr

Posted @withregram • @nativesonnow “He grinned. ‘Jood.’ ‘Jood?’ ‘Yeah. I wanna talk ta you. Gimme yo' phone numba.’ He wasn't asking for it; he was demanding it. I felt like doing a somersault. ‘Sure. Can I have yours?’ ‘I'll be Black...” I took that to mean that he would return, and by the time I found a business card, he did. He handed me a piece of paper with his name and a number scribbled in very neat penmanship. ‘My beepa...’ I gave him the card. ‘My home phone is on the back.’ He studied it. ‘Mitchell Crawford, Associate Edita, Your World Magazine...’ He pointed the card at me. ‘Yeah, yo' world.’ I giggled as he stuffed it in his shirt pocket. -The night Mitchell met Raheim in @james.e.hardy.9 #BBoyBlues Tonight we celebrate Sir #JamesEarlHardy with The Griot Honors for his grounding “B-Boy Blues” novel and series and for bringing the stories of #BlackGayMen and #BlackGayLove to life through his writing.

I'm so grateful for the many beautiful, successful and supportive bruthas who navigate this joyous journey in familial and spiritual congruence. This weekend in #Atlanta we celebrate our dear friend of more than two decades, @james.e.hardy.9, with the release of his latest novel #MenOfTheHouse! This latest installment in the #BBoyBlues series offers fresh perspectives on characters we’ve grown up with for nearly 25 years. I couldn’t be more proud of James...or more thankful. B Boy Blues shifted my life trajectory by empowering me in ways that no other book could. Thank you Al Washington for opening your beautiful home to host this exclusive event.
