My mother’s heavenly birthday. It’s today. This is from my wedding weekend and one of the best times of my life. Easily. As a mommy myself now, knowing just the amount of work, thankless hours, and true joy and love it takes to be a mom, I hold my mom in even higher regard now than I ever did before. Thanks for showing me how to do this job. Lovingly. I was worried I wouldn’t know how because you weren’t here, but I’m steeped in so much of you. I see you in so many of the parts. I’m so grateful for that. Mommy. I love you and miss you. Till the chain links again:). Happy Birthday, Your Zozo.
Fit to lead. Ready to serve. #Harris2024

Taylor Swift already has more No. 1 albums than any other woman (12), as well as the highest-grossing tour in history (an estimated $1 billion and counting). Now she can count another major achievement: four Grammy Awards for album of the year — more than any other artist in the 66-year history of the prize.
“Midnights,” Swift’s most recent LP of new material, beat out entries from SZA, Olivia Rodrigo, boygenius, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, Jon Batiste and Janelle Monáe to take the Grammys’ top album prize on Sunday.
It was Swift’s sixth nomination for the prize, and fourth win, after her previous victories for “Fearless” in 2010, “1989” in 2016, and “Folklore” in 2020. With her latest win, she moves past three beloved stars who had each won the category three times: Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon.

Tribe. I feel so lucky to be a part of this one. Thank you, @sagawards for this nomination for my work in Painkiller. It was a honor to be part of this story. Sharing memories of some of the incredible talents it took to bring this story to life and the good time we had doing it:).
My book. I’m thrilled to unveil the cover of my upcoming literary memoir, “The Road Is Good.” This book is deeply personal, a journey through Black immigrant identity, family, and the incredible strength found in the matriarchal force that shaped my life. My Mom. Growing up as one of the few Black families in our Massachusetts suburb, my siblings and I navigated a world that often felt like uncharted territory. But through it all, my mother instilled in us an unwavering sense of belonging and worth, rooted in our Nigerian heritage. I wrote this book as my mom fought valiantly against cancer, but “The Road Is Good” isn’t about grief or death, it’s about finding my true self and my own path. This memoir is a tribute to my mother’s fierce love and the invaluable lessons she passed down. It’s a celebration of life and finding resilience. From my first audition to my first Emmy, the road was bumpy, but my mom’s belief in me was my compass. Always. As a first time mother to a baby girl, I will always see my mom as my North Star. “The Road Is Good” is more than just my story—it’s for anyone who ever felt like an outsider trying to find their place in the world. I can’t wait for you to read it this fall. Thank you for the first look @people. Love you, Mommy. More than you could ever know. Yours, Zozo @vikingbooks #theroadisgood Preorder now, link in bio.

Chita Rivera. A legend of the American stage, who impacted generations of artists through her huge talent, lasting career, and strong sense of self. I met Ms. Rivera backstage, here, at The Tony Awards a few years ago, and I was beyond excited. She held in her soul so many character “firsts.” A brilliant creative artist, Ms. Rivera was and remains a symbol of the beauty that can be found in lovingly embracing the whole of your identity when stepping onto your path. To walk tall in it. May she rest in perfect peace. #theaterkids
My dog, Fenway Bark(IYKYK), waiting to begin his Civics lecture. And maybe also judging me???
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee was a Giant. A titan and fierce advocate for women, she was responsible for countless advances in our legislative system, first of many being the Violence Against Women’s Act and The Crown Act- protections for so many Americans. What a heroic public servant and blessing she was to the community and to our country. May she forever rest. Queen.
