In 2016 my brother @octarell_again released a not-so-small-film called @moonlightmov. It changed the trajectory of the images and depictions of black men and black male intimacy in film… last night we closed out #Pride month by bringing @bboybluesthefilm to Chicago with a special private screening at the @dusablemuseum and talkback hosted by T with myself and our king @james.e.hardy.9. Tarell poured into James and acknowledged that there would be no #Moonlight without the #BBoyBlues book series… I was then able to acknowledge to T that there would never be a film version of BBOY without moonlight. Community is real. Special thanks to my brother @bridgeforth #CharlesNelsoniii, @pridesouthside, @inpoc_ and the beautiful people of #Chicago for coming out and showing such love. @bboybluesthefilm is streaming now on @betplus 💫 💙🤎

Family, a noun. Sometimes feels like it should be a verb because it’s all about action. To family…
The action to love unconditionally. Oftentimes family goes through tough moments. We could argue, make each other very angry, but that unconditional love is what drives us forward and keeps us accountable. Something I credit and am deeply grateful to my parents for. They gifted me with 5 siblings all of whom I continue to learn from everyday. 5 different relationship dynamics. 5 different advisors!!
And though it may be difficult to organize stuff with a big family (especially when @jazzsmollett decides to go run errands at Bloomingdales the same time we’re supposed to be all having lunch 😂😂😂) I recognize the privilege we have in such a large family. 6 income earners, creatives, and councilmen: A TEAM. We are a team and we’re just getting started. I’m so excited to see this next decade with y’all.
Happy 40th Juss
