King. That’s what I call Andre. I called him that because while working with him this year I would come into the trailer and he’d say, “Hey, Queen!” I asked him why he was calling me that, and without skipping a beat he said, “because you’re the queen.” Simple as that. He said it with such pure love, nothing under it, just love and with that beautiful megawatt smile we have all come to know, and I honestly knew he meant it. And it made me feel good you guys- filled and able to take on the world he and I, along with our entire cast, were creating. So, I returned the title “King,” with the hope of sparking a small piece of the joy he would effortlessly give to me.
And that is Andre.
Generous with his talent, yes, the depths of which are endless and we have all seen chronicled through the years. But, also the offering in abundance of his heart. His time. His ear. His care. His absolute love and high priority for his family. You understood it was that balance that earned him the love and respect we all gave to him. A true JOY to always, always be around.
I like this picture because it met me every morning and feels like it matches the energy of the person I came to know. This beautiful heart. Andre Braugher. PROUD father to his boys and husband to Ami, a leading artist whose gifts impacted multiple generations. You are deeply missed already, Andre. Sir. King.
Christmas time is here. Merry Christmas from our house to yours. ♥️🎄🎶
Sending my prayers to those lives lost and touched by today’s racially motivated shooting in Jacksonville, Florida.

New Year’s. 2023 gave me so much more than I could have ever imagined every step of the way. I am beyond grateful and cannot wait for the intense good crackling inside 2024. Happy New Year everyone!!!
I hope we all walk into this new year with a renewed spirit for peace and with pure love, leaving behind all that no longer serves us. I plan to leave behind this hat “Santa” brought my daughter when he knows I’m from Red Sox Nation!!!!! Don’t worry Boston. A strongly worded letter has been written. #RedSoxMom #YankeesDad #DontAsk #WeWillNeverAgree #NewYear
Made this DELICIOUS pot pie. It was my first time! I made it before giving birth, to eat during my postpartum, and this recipe by @inagarten was just so yummy. This is a great dish that keeps really well in the freezer. FYI- I found this recipe online, but this is one of my favorite Ina cookbooks.
I enjoyed it while listening to the FABULOUS @samarajoysings Christmas album which is an absolute delight. So so good. Strolling into the holidays HAPPY!! 🎄♥️🎶
Now, A CHAMPION. Go, CoCo, GOOOOO!!!!!!! #USOpen

Norman Lear. A titan of industry who created lasting and thrilling work that, not only entertained, but actively challenged long standing social ideals and norms all while helping to advance the power of the television medium forward.
Great work is meant to do just this.
I had the pleasure of meeting @thenormanlear on one occasion, and he was just so gentle, so kind. Thank you for your characters, your worlds, your stories. They live on forever in the real and in my memory of summer vacations from school, watching reruns of your shows. Heartfelt prayers and condolences to his family, his friends, and to all those who knew and loved him. May he rest in perfect peace.
