For my birthday, my teenage daughter surprised me with her annotated copy of my new book. I am not okay. 😭

So thrilled to receive the galley of The Swans of Harlem, about the enduring sisterhood of five founding and first generation Dance Theatre of Harlem ballerinas. The book, out next spring, is dedicated to my two lovely little swans.

I think about the movie almost daily. Art about grief, and the possibility of even a shred of movement towards healing is my sweet spot. youtu.be/gsVoD0pTge0

Here for the Doctor in whimsical boots!

Direct, urgent and she believes every word she’s saying. Cardi B insisting upon representation. youtu.be/psnpKIgQxIo

The fact that this woman was able to hold onto a sense of humor. #StrongerTogether

My daughter got her copy of #onthecomeup signed at this evening’s @BookPeople event for @angiecthomas. Game recognizes game.

@ava My daughter said A Wrinkle in Time is now tied for her favorite movie, along with Black Panther. A world can change in two weekends.

Reading Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters by @BarackObama. My daughters will have strong-hearted leader again, or be one themselves.
