Anyone who has ever seen what cancer does to someone up close knows how debilitating & painful the disease is. Chadwick still showed up to press runs, movie sets, screening events, fan visits, and award ceremonies in the midst of battling cancer. Resilient isn’t even the word.

Once upon a time, every video game console came with a single dedicated game. Then in 1976, a Black engineer named Jerry Lawson invented "interchangeable cartridges" and changed the industry forever (📺: High Score)

Hey, here’s a story idea! Give this $$$, our history is richer and more magnificent than just being enslaved. We thrive/d in a world that said we weren’t even human. Tell those stories! Studios should love it too because...reboot.

Imagine A League Of Their Own sequel that starts with the scene of the black woman throwing the ball back from the stands and you stay with her and it becomes a biopic on the 3 black women that played in the Negro Leagues (Toni Stone, Mami "Peanut" Johnson & Connie Morgan).

Don’t put #blm in your blackout post. Its saturating the main hashtag that activists use to record and report injustices happening at the protests which are STILL GOING ON TODAY. DO NOT BLACK OUT THE MOVEMENT. U dont newd a hashtag its already black.

This is exciting for all the filmmakers who were not able to show their shorts at SXSW — they are on amazon prime. Super excited to watch.

Sending love to all the filmmakers, techies, musicians etc. who planned on heading to Austin for @SXSW. Both my indie films premiered there & it truly one of the best festivals in the world. If there’s anything I can do to help promote & get your work out there pls let me know.
