@fishandscripts is providing fish… scripts… and a sanctuary for black creatives in LA
And Founders Jazmin Jenay Johnson @cleopatrasdaughter and @thejohnljackson brought so much good energy to our @kcalnews studio this morning

FISH & SCRIPTS EP: 19 was a very special evening!

We had a woman in the building who has been a part of our lives for almost our entire lives. To have walked the path she did and still be full of so much light, Tisha Campbell, is more than a living legend. She’s a walking miracle, that we all are blessed to have. She’s a cultural icon, an incomparable mind, a comedic genius, and a mother.

But on this day, she was family. Thank you Tisha Campbell, and thank you Dani Wright for stopping by Fish & Scripts. The space will never be the same.

SPRING COHORT ENROLLMENT IS OPEN! That’s right. Fish & Scripts Journey Classes are back and scholarships are available!

“She Loves Me Not” 💔🥀 x Fish & Scripts 🐠

“She’s a fragmented version of herself, trying to put fragmented men together, to create some Franken-nigga.” Voice note by @tigerajray

“That is some genius level writing.”
“I want to study it & become a better writer.”
“A gorgeous, poetic piece.”
