I still have the zombies on my 2020 bingo card...
Election season is finally upon us (it feels like it never left) and my current method of self care comes in the form of watching old Black TV sitcoms from the 90's on Youtube (believe or not Netflix does not have every 90's Black sitcom). A favorite of mine that has unfortunately not made its way into streaming glory is the 90's sitcom "Roc". I stumbled upon a super timely episode from their second live season dealing with the then current election. The episode "1992 Presidential Election" hit all the right notes then and now. The election episode starts around 1:08:40 but do yourself a favor and get lost in all four of the episodes courtesy of the ReelBlack TV Youtube Channel.

I discovered a new love and appreciation for shadow puppetry after seeing director Nia DaCosta's latest "Candyman" teaser. The group behind it is called Manual Cinema and one of their standout projects features Black American poet Gwendolyn Brooks reading her popular poem "We Real Cool". I love the combination of a classic poem by a Black woman and their unique way of storytelling.
When the world gets crazy, I somehow finds ways to create. This site is a perfect example of that. I'm a storyteller at heart, so when things began getting too weird for words I turned to my camera at the start of NYC's quarantine to document the new world.
