well, what I’m working on…
So, my contribution to the Black Love/Black Indie Film movement is making a comeback. Details will be coming to you as they come to me. For the amount of quality content that’s being made these days, I’m understandably humbled and flattered that there is still demand for this piece and people still get something […]
Even though Ramadan has come and gone for this year, I would still like Sunday in particular be the day (not necessarily the only one) where this space is used to go a little deeper than the usual silliness. At the same time though, I won’t be forcing the issue if it’s not there. […]
Came out of my first network call back a little while ago. Had my full ‘TV Star’ confidence going, nailed the scene in one take…and now we move on. Not always possible and not everyone’s method, but it’s just the reality: even when you’re getting some ‘yes’s like I do, it’s still 98 percent […]
My body and soul are running at full capacity at the moment, so today is a little bit of a cheat post. My annual appreciation of the first brother I saw on screen who made me say, ‘That was AWESOME!!!!!’ I’m fairly confident you’ll know him when you see him…

Definitely not the last weekend of deep reflection, but the last weekend for the year of extreme self discipline.

Overdue or right on time, but I needed to update a few things to reflect where I’m at specifically on the road. So… Here, on this site I added a few new photos to the ‘Where Do I Know You From?’ page and the latest project that’s already made it to air… And for […]
I just finished re-reading Manning Marable’s analysis of Malcolm X. Marable ends with his belief that Malcolm would have denounced the 9/11 attacks as being fundamentally against everything Islam stands for, despite the claims of those who carried out the terrorism. Marable’s thesis at the end is Malcolm should be held up as a […]
On the list of great 2Pac singles, this one (kind of understandably) is way down the list. I only think I hear this once every couple years. So I was still hyped when it came on the radio and I still knew all the words. And is that a young John Singleton in the […]
