Yaya DaCosta Instagram - About last night…

1. Celebrating the Golden Globes winners and nominees with our Netflix family.
2. Mingling and schmingling.
3. Started at St. Michael’s Montessori School, now we’re here. @alekseiarcher 
4. Started in Chicago, now we’re here. @sophiabush 
5. Love this powerhouse of a woman.
6. I will always take advantage of a good photo booth.
7. Joy as medicine.
8. I took a makeup class with @_cincodemaya last month and now I think I’m a professional. lol
9. I say a little prayer for those fighting for their right to exist. I say a little prayer for the planet— Onile, Gaia, Pachamama. I say a little prayer for humanity’s past, present and future generations. A prayer for the animal kingdom, and another for our plant allies. I say a little prayer for peace. May every act of ill intent be intercepted and alchemized by Divine Order in service of New Earth. I love you.

Querido Brazil,
Tenho tanto orgulho de ser descendente de um brasileiro.
É outra casa minha.
Mas às vezes não me sinto em casa… por causa do racismo.
O mundo inteiro sofre… mas faz sentido começar a conversa entre nossa próprias comunidades.
Vamos conversar?
…
Com todo amor 💛💚🇧🇷

I love myself.

Thank you, @maatispagh for creating a safe and luxurious space to be pampered in nature.
This is Ghana, West Africa, y’all.
Yaya DaCosta Instagram - 💧
Real life is exquisite.
And for those for whom it’s not, may it be so.

EDIT:
*Such a blessing to go to places where Earth can still be experienced the way the Most High intended.
This is pure water flowing straight from a glacier in New Zealand. The kind of place your plastic water bottles claim they got it from.
It was my first time doing this, so I looked cautious, but yes I drank it! Again and again.
This first sip was full of wonder, and it’s the wonder at our planet’s beauty that I am sharing.
Thanks for your concern, but it was the BEST water I’ve EVER tasted.
Yaya DaCosta Instagram - To the Harvard Black Law Students Association, THANK YOU!
To every student and faculty member who challenged me with the most thought-provoking questions, thank you!
To my character, Andrea Freeman of “The Lincoln Lawyer”, thank you for the opportunity to play “make-believe” in a field that has fascinated me since undergrad at Brown.
And to that 20-year old version of myself, who could see herself on the stage of the United Nations just as much as on the stage of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences… it’s all happening; thank you for staying the course.
To conference co-chairs Danielle Geathers and Christopher Egi, thank you so much for calling me in. 
To former US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, thank you for your fearless leadership across your extraordinary career (and for our encouraging talk in the green room!).
To all of the amazing speakers, it was an honor to share the stage with you. 
And to the brilliant students devoting their time, energy and passion to the grueling process of law school… we need you!
As an artist and a dreamer, I know how important it is to align with the do-ers in positions of power, who’s task is to re-build, re-shape and re-structure systems, so that they can hold the new visions sustainably.
I feel so grateful and encouraged knowing that the future leaders of law, business, government, and civic life… look, sound, and feel like you.

9. I say a little prayer for those fighting for their right to exist. I say a little prayer for the planet— Onile, Gaia, Pachamama. I say a little prayer for humanity’s past, present and future generations. A prayer for the animal kingdom, and another for our plant allies. I say a little prayer for peace. May every act of ill intent be intercepted and alchemized by Divine Order in service of New Earth. I love you.

Querido Brazil,
Tenho tanto orgulho de ser descendente de um brasileiro.
É outra casa minha.
Mas às vezes não me sinto em casa… por causa do racismo.
O mundo inteiro sofre… mas faz sentido começar a conversa entre nossa próprias comunidades.
Vamos conversar?
…
Com todo amor 💛💚🇧🇷

Real life is exquisite.
And for those for whom it’s not, may it be so.
.
EDIT:
*Such a blessing to go to places where Earth can still be experienced the way the Most High intended.
This is pure water flowing straight from a glacier in New Zealand. The kind of place your plastic water bottles claim they got it from.
It was my first time doing this, so I looked cautious, but yes I drank it! Again and again.
This first sip was full of wonder, and it’s the wonder at our planet’s beauty that I am sharing.
Thanks for your concern, but it was the BEST water I’ve EVER tasted.

To every student and faculty member who challenged me with the most thought-provoking questions, thank you!
To my character, Andrea Freeman of “The Lincoln Lawyer”, thank you for the opportunity to play “make-believe” in a field that has fascinated me since undergrad at Brown.
And to that 20-year old version of myself, who could see herself on the stage of the United Nations just as much as on the stage of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences… it’s all happening; thank you for staying the course.
To conference co-chairs Danielle Geathers and Christopher Egi, thank you so much for calling me in. 
To former US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, thank you for your fearless leadership across your extraordinary career (and for our encouraging talk in the green room!).
To all of the amazing speakers, it was an honor to share the stage with you. 
And to the brilliant students devoting their time, energy and passion to the grueling process of law school… we need you!
As an artist and a dreamer, I know how important it is to align with the do-ers in positions of power, who’s task is to re-build, re-shape and re-structure systems, so that they can hold the new visions sustainably.
I feel so grateful and encouraged knowing that the future leaders of law, business, government, and civic life… look, sound, and feel like you.

Caption : To the Harvard Black Law Students Association, THANK YOU! To every student and faculty member who challenged me with the most thought-provoking questions, thank you! To my character, Andrea Freeman of “The Lincoln Lawyer”, thank you for the opportunity to play “make-believe” in a field that has fascinated me since undergrad at Brown. And to that 20-year old version of myself, who could see herself on the stage of the United Nations just as much as on the stage of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences… it’s all happening; thank you for staying the course. To conference co-chairs Danielle Geathers and Christopher Egi, thank you so much for calling me in. To former US Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, thank you for your fearless leadership across your extraordinary career (and for our encouraging talk in the green room!). To all of the amazing speakers, it was an honor to share the stage with you. And to the brilliant students devoting their time, energy and passion to the grueling process of law school… we need you! As an artist and a dreamer, I know how important it is to align with the do-ers in positions of power, who’s task is to re-build, re-shape and re-structure systems, so that they can hold the new visions sustainably. I feel so grateful and encouraged knowing that the future leaders of law, business, government, and civic life… look, sound, and feel like you. 🙏🏾

Yaya DaCosta - 4K Likes - There’s something so seductive about standing in a room full of dreams realized…
It’s the rhythm of my own wild dreams, seducing me onto the dance floor of actualization, with even more excitement, more urgency, and more passion! 
This is me following the pulse, draped in gold, celebrating the storytellers who dared and delivered…
Deep admiration for the gifted nominees and winners 👏🏾
What you create ripples far beyond this moment.
Let’s keep creating in service of a better world…
