Hey everybody! Long time no see. I took a little time off from my blog to work on some personal things. To be honest with you, another big reason for my absence was a lack of motivation. I’m sure you know how that can be. Writing is largely based on mood for me and for the past almost two years, nothing has really made me want to write. That’s not to say that I haven’t watched tv shows and movies during my absence that are worthy of writing about. But something (probably my own insecurities about my work) kept me at bay. But now I’m back! And I have one film to thank for inspiring me: Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Chadwick Boseman (1976-2020)
Last night yielded the devastating news that acclaimed actor Chadwick Boseman had passed away from stage IV colon cancer. It seems like since 2020 began we have been facing one tragedy after another, but I don’t want to look at Boseman’s death as another tragedy in the wake of this unrelenting year. I want to…
Thank You, Miss Morrison
Today marks one year since the death of Toni Morrison. For decades, her beautiful words graced the world and highlighted the multifaceted experiences of African Americans. On the anniversary of her death, it felt right to express my personal feelings about the author and how reading her works affected my life, and inspired me not…
Thirsty
My thoughts on Hulu’s new short film, Thirsty. Directed by Nicole Delaney, Thirsty tells the story of a mosquito who falls in love with a man, played by Insecure‘s Jay Ellis, after tasting his blood. Even though on the surface, this seems like a pretty out-there plot (and to be fair, it is), the 11-minute…

Here are my thoughts. SPOILER ALERT….
Justice For: Jon Snow
In its final season, Game of Thrones saw a decline in many areas, one of the most obvious being the characters. More specifically, their characterization. It felt like in order to push the narrative along, the showrunners decided that, despite taking seasons to set up and develop this world and it’s residents, the characters were…
