- Much ❤ to @TheLarkVoorhies and the iconic Lisa Turtle character. For black girls growing up in the '90s, you were everything!!! You made us feel seen in Saved By The Bell. Thank you. XoLark Voorhies, the actress who played Lisa in #SavedByTheBell, said she feels "a bit slighted and hurt" that she wasn't asked to be in the upcoming reboot of the show. eonli.ne/2HGKNQx
- "I want to be the first black bitch on television." I love that Diahann Carroll was always fighting for roles that showed all the many facets of blackness and helped normalize it. Without her, I wouldn't be writing lead roles for black women. Thank you, Ms. Carroll. #RestInPeaceDiahann Carroll, pioneering actress on 'Julia' and 'Dynasty,' dies at 84 thr.cm/rSHV8O
- Love, love, love that @DewaynePerkins and I get to cook up more horror foolishness on a @Blackening sequel. Big thank you to everyone who came out to support and watched it at home!! This movie is truly the little indie that could.EXCLUSIVE: MRC and Lionsgate are developing a sequel to “The Blackening,” the hit horror-comedy from Dewayne Perkins and Tracy Oliver. bit.ly/46wfv8k
- True story: I went into Universal to do a joint pitch with a then 11 year old @marsaimartin for this movie that SHE dreamt up. So young, but so confident! WAY more than me. Thank you for the honor of writing this movie! Proud of you, girl 👏👏👏When the world tells you your dream is too big...you search for the folks that can see your vision. God is good! #littlethemovie youtu.be/Qz65no3WnJk Thank you @funnyblackdude @willpowerpacker @TracyYOliver @UniversalPics @TinaGordonChism #mywholevillagetoo

GIF- Please no more #COVIDー19 asymptomatic celebrity posts about testing positive when there are doctors and nurses who can't get tested and folks with full on fevers and several symptoms who are waiting all day in long lines. It's a terrible look.
- Much ❤️ to @willpowerpacker and @malcolmdlee for hiring a black woman to write this. Sometimes all we need is the opportunity. #honoredHaving co-written #GirlsTrip w/ @funnyblackdude, @TracyYOliverr is the 1st Black female to have a $100M film - tinyurl.com/ybcprxjh
- Full circle moment: from writing/producing @awkwardblkgrl on the web with a $2 budget to writing and producing a show for @AmazonStudios!! Unbelievably humbled by the journey and it has been a journey. Big thx Amy Poehler for joining me on the ride! ❤ #WomenSupportingWomen
- Many thx to everyone who came out to support #TheBlackening! Dewayne, Tim, cast & crew, and I did this movie for almost nothing in order to make it. We bet on ourselves. And somehow, this little movie went up against tent poles with 50x our budget and held theatres. Grateful.🙏‘THE BLACKENING’ has already made near to 3x its production budget in just over 1 week.
- Yo @JohnBoyega just say the word. LUCKY and grateful to have you act in anything I'm working on. #BlackLivesMatter
- So damn excited my show, @HarlemOnPrime, is getting a s3!! A big thank you to everyone who watched it and to Amazon for giving us another go round! Lots of great, diverse shows becoming casualties right now. So this means A LOT. Very grateful 🙏'Harlem' Renewed For Season 3 At Prime Video deadline.com/2023/12/harlem…
- As a feature writer, when you hand your draft (s) into the studio, you have no control over what ends up on screen. Often, you're elated. Other times, you're disappointed. I did not write that particular joke and was disappointed to see it. It was insensitive and unnecessary.
