This Intergenerational intersectional conference showed many ways to change. I was so happy to be on this panel. Deeply provocative comments and explorations.
I feel less alone in hoping to, and trying to, bring deeper awareness into the stories Hollywood tells-comedy or drama. We need it. AND we’ll be held accountable for what we put into peoples heads, l’ve no doubt. Let’s make art matter when it costs as much as what we do for tv and film does.

It’s @mimikennedyla and @folbkate ! Come to our panel on aging and caregiving and end of life on Sunday!
He knew artists had to participate in social justice. He left a thrilling legacy.

Harry Belafonte, who stormed the pop charts and smashed racial barriers in the 1950s with his highly personal brand of folk music, and who went on to become a major force in the civil rights movement, died on Tuesday at his home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He was 96.
The cause was congestive heart failure, said Ken Sunshine, his longtime spokesman.
At a time when segregation was still widespread and Black faces were still a rarity on screens large and small, Belafonte’s ascent to the upper echelon of show business was historic. He was not the first Black entertainer to transcend racial boundaries; Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and others had achieved stardom before him. But none had made as much of a splash as he did, and for a few years no one in music, Black or white, was bigger.
Born in Harlem to West Indian immigrants, he almost single-handedly ignited a craze for Caribbean music with hit records like “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” and “Jamaica Farewell.” His album “Calypso,” which contained both those songs, reached the top of the Billboard album chart shortly after its release in 1956 and stayed there for 31 weeks. Coming just before the breakthrough of Elvis Presley, it was said to be the first album by a single artist to sell more than a million copies.

YOUR LAST CHANCE to experience #PruPayne is this weekend!
—
A life-affirming story of love, (memory) loss, and dealing with it all.
Written by Pulitzer Prize Nominee Steven Drukman, this ATC world premier is a remarkable, funny, and life-affirming story about the relationship between a mother and son. An esteemed critic, Prudence “Pru” Payne is widely recognized as a wit, a scholar, and a public intellectual; her son Thomas lives in that shadow. But as her memory begins to fade, all her preconceived notions – about herself and, more importantly, others – also slip away.
