“Hello Ms. Tyson, I’m Angela Bassett. It’s an honor to meet and work with you.” Those were the first words I ever spoke to the incomparable Ms. #CicelyTyson. Early in my career, I’d been cast in a movie based on Sherley Anne Williams’ novel, Dessa Rose, alongside Ms. Tyson. It was a big deal for me, not only as an actress but for me as a woman who was about to work alongside someone who I greatly admired, respected and adored. When we got word that Ms. Tyson was on her way, I got up out of my seat in the room where we all awaited her arrival. I walked out of the room and stood quietly as I watched Ms. Tyson walk down the hallway. I could have waited until she entered the room, but this was my idol. This was “the” Ms. Cicely Tyson. I understood the magnitude of what a moment like that, even just to carve out those few seconds to say hello, would mean to me for the rest of my life. And something beautiful happened during this time. I gained a forever friend and mentor. She made the time and opportunity to work, to bond, to support, to encourage, to teach, to love…me. Although the movie was not completed due to circumstances beyond our control, those precious moments are seared in my memory. On this night, as we pay respect to Ms. Tyson, let us remember all that she contributed to this planet through her talent, perseverance, and strength. During a recent interview as she spoke about her memoir, Just As I Am, which just published two days ago, she was asked by the reporter about death. What struck me were her words: “I’m grateful for every day that God gives me.” Ms. Tyson, we are infinitely grateful for every day that God gave you to us. For all of us little black and brown girls who dared to dream big and bold that we, too, deserved to be seen, heard, and loved, both on the screen and off. Rest in Power, my sweet, beautiful QUEEN.

Mother, daughter and the man who has our backs! 💙 #WakandaForever
You say Lisboa, I say Lisbon…let’s connect again. The people …lovely, the vistas…divine, the wine…you already know. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better; there was the music! A “letter from home”. What a wonderful weekend; a cozy and relaxing find in Hotel Valverde right in the heat and heart of it all. You did it! I loved it! May take another trip to really turn it all the down to your chill mode. But perhaps I’ve gotten a bit though osmosis to carry me. Cheers to that feeling of both, the “familiar” and the “far and away”. Obrigda Hotel ValVerde!!! @valverdehotel
What a whirlwind weekend! Many thanks to the @hollywoodcriticsassociation for starting me off with two awards: the Acting Achievement Award & the Best Supporting Actress Award!
Hey Everybody you good? I had SO much fun chatting with @briantyreehenry on the #LateLateShow tune in tonight 12:37/11:37c on CBS! 💗
Hey Everybody you good? I talked to Ta-Nehisi Coates about returning to the set of #WakandaForever as Queen Ramonda. Listen to our great conversation on the Wakanda Forever Podcast at ProximityMedia.com or your favorite podcast app!
Heartfelt words from my @courtneybvance xoAng ♥️ “My 61stStreet family and I are praying for the victims and their families and loved ones. Nothing will bring back those precious lives lost on Saturday in Buffalo and in Southern California and Texas yesterday. But I remain hopeful that in the hours, days and weeks to come that we as a country – no matter your state, religion, politics, or race – we will all find it in our hearts and minds to do better, to be better, and to see all human beings as whole human beings. Some may call this a fantasy or a dream. I’d like to call it a work-in-progress reality. You in?”
*TOMAR* It’s easy to feel like you’ve traveled back through time while visiting this ancient town. Best part of it all, the locals are charming and friendly and are happy to share their culture and stories with you, especially during long late-night dinners fueled with food and wine. Reasons one should add this beautiful destination to their bucket list. From the epic architecture, the most intriguing history, the food, the Portuguese Charm, beautiful gardens, parks and castles. All at your disposal. I had the most astounding opportunity to not only work here but explore these possibilities for myself. And met some amazing people along the way. I had the honor of staying at one of the best 5 Star Boutique Hotels in Tomar, Portugal. The Hotel República @hotel.republica Located right in the heart of the Templar city of Tomar, the Hotel República is the best place to find out what it means to be Portuguese. The hotel was built, equipped and decorated only by portuguese companies. Amazing amenities offered along with my personal favorite – SOUNDPROOF ROOMS! A completely peaceful experience. I want to thank The owners Laurence & Anthonio for their hospitality and kindness during my 3 week stay here and most of all for their generosity of honoring me with a suite in my name. So when you visit this beautiful city and country go check out Hotel República and ask to stay in “The Angela Bassett Suite”. Experience the love of Portugal 🇵🇹. Obrigada Portugal! 📸 @dandremichael
