Hey y’all! Thanks to the folks @netflix , I got to spend my lunch with some of the dopest creatives in the biz. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I used to pray for days like this! Shout out to the dynamic duo @lovejones.irl and @iamcarljones and amazing @talentedthomas for sharing their industry insight with me. This was one for the books.

🎬✨ “This is why we do it.”
At our @bravemakerorg Creative Multi-Hyphenate Summit, Tiffany Thomas shared her journey—from comedy actress to Emmy-winning producer and writer on The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder—and reminded us what’s possible when you stay committed to your voice. @talentedthomas

From The Mandalorian to powerful documentaries and Disney storytelling, Tiffany is living proof that bold, authentic stories matter.

💥 One room. One story. One moment can change everything.

Thank you, Tiffany, for inspiring our community to keep creating, keep pushing, and keep believing.

I stopped watching the NFL after what they did to Kaepernick. It didn’t sit right with me, and it still doesn’t. But I always find my way back to the halftime show on YouTube. The last couple of years, those performances have been about more than music or spectacle. They carried real emotion, history, and a sense of belonging. They reminded people that art can say what institutions won’t, and make you feel seen and understood. That’s the kind of art that stays with you.
