The obsession with perfect Black character representation onscreen is stifling Black art. Hair can’t be out of place, they need to be rich & never make any mistakes. You want us to make boring films & TV cause you’re living vicariously through fictional characters.

Still working on bringing Ghetto Fabulous to the screen but in the meantime I turned it into a short story series on @Substack pinkdrafts.substack.com/p/gh…
I wrote a pilot some years ago about two black women working together to reclaim the trends that started in our communities. It's called Ghetto Fabulous. I may have to revisit this script. Maybe make it a feature film 🤔

If you reference and reboot everything, what original ideas will you have to reboot and reference in 20 years? You’re just going to reboot and reference the reboot and reference?

Hot take: gatekeepers are no longer artists, auteurs, or visionaries which is killing breaking new exciting voices.
Druski reveals Netflix, Amazon and FX all REJECTED his show ideas because they didn’t believe in him, so instead of begging for another chance, he invested his OWN MONEY and built them himself on YouTube 😲 Now the SAME companies are coming back trying to BUY the shows they passed on and it’s turned into a BIDDING WAR 🔥 “I started to just believe in myself… I’m just betting on myself. Now they want to purchase these shows that we’ve made. Now it’s a bidding war.” “Before anybody sees the vision, YOU have to see it. It has to start with you.” 🔥

Bow Wow doing the Harlem Shake is lowkey equivalent to Michael Jackson doing the Moonwalk lol. Y’all might be too young to understand, you wasn’t there

Unless you’re making well over 70K minimum after taxes, this is a 2-3 job economy whether you like it or not .

Great reporting here Phil! Also clarity for folks the AI image was discussed by the students. Someone else generated it to portray their student body this way so it’s included to show how this dress code policy led to anti-Black rhetoric to portray a student body in a false way.
There’s been a lot of conversation online about the dress code policy at Tuskegee. But current students have been largely left out of the discourse. So I talked with some of them: whatimreading.net/p/tuskegee…

Stop spreading this narrative. The movie will make back its budget and more. There will also be more movies starring, written by, directing by Black people with 100+ million dollar budget.
“Children of Blood and Bone” budget is apparently 200 Million and is currently being sabotaged by the co-writer/author. if this bombs at the box office, this might be the last Black film with this type of budget that we get in the next 10 years besides “Black Panther”.

Students being dropped from Howard and Tuskegee up here talking about bonnets. Not how can we open our doors to those students. We talking about bonnets…

Job interviews are always like, “What can you do?” Sir, I’m a millennial born in the ‘90s. Just tell me what I need to know, and I’ll master it in three days.
