    some news: today, i’m excited to launch blackfilmarchive.com. this ever-expanding black film archive provides history and context to over 200 black films made from 1915 to 1979 currently streaming. every description on the site is lovingly written & researched by me.

    when solange said “i can’t be a singular expression of myself, there’s too many parts, too many spaces, too many manifestations, too many lines, too many curves, too many troubles, too many journeys....” i felt that.
