I've been waiting for this. Independent autopsy of Renee Good is in. It's strong evidence against Agent Ross, given what it means about the second or third shot through the left-side window. It's the second and third shots that make the easiest criminal case of a willful killing.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

I remember being in fear at first. But saying yes to this production meant finally facing pieces of myself I had kept hidden. This piece is about that journey: leaving South Central, surviving neglect, running toward chosen family, and the ultimate act of self-love that led me to the stage.

Happy Birthday to my fam Tee! 🎉💛 Tonight we hit Calabash Caribbean on Del Paso, and they showed Tee so much love. Grateful for another year around the sun with my chosen family. I love you, beautiful ✨

Some actors are beautiful on screen, but Robert Redford was beautiful off. RIP!!!
