Whitney Houston once said to me that Roberta Flack’s voice was one of the purest voices she’d ever heard. I grew up scouring the records my Parents collected. Mrs. Flack was one of their favorites and quite instantly became one of mine as soon as I was exposed to her. She looked cool and intelligent, gentle and yet militant. The songs she recorded from ‘Compared To What’ to ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ to her version of ‘Ballad Of The Sad Young Men’ fascinated me with their beauty and sophistication. Mrs. Flack was an artist, a singer-songwriter, a pianist and composer who moved me and showed me through her own creative choices and standards what else was possible within the idiom of Soul. Killing Me Softly, a song Mrs. Flack didn’t write, but made hugely popular became the song that catapulted myself and the Fugees into household phenomena. We wanted to honor the beauty and brilliance of this song and her performance of it to our generation. I will forever be grateful for the sensitivity and delicate power of her Love and Artistry. Rest in Grace Beloved One. 🌹

Happy 50th SNL! Thank you for the invitation and the opportunity to share space with the great Wyclef Jean and all the phenomenal talent, both musical and comedic that took the stage that night. In addition to SNL’s worldwide renown and rich history, the show also had a rich history in our homes as we were growing up. Thank you to Lorne and to all the incredible comedians, actors, musicians, personalities and talents who made us laugh over the years and whose comedy remains a legacy and archive for us to return to whenever we need to laugh, smile and remember. Thank you! 👏🏾🥰🤗♥️💐 Thank you to Josh Kissi and team and all of our team who helped us pull together this short film in homage to the great Thelonius Monk and his wife Nellie. 🫶🏾☺️♥️ Creative Director & Executive Producer: @MsLaurynHill Director: @joshuakissi Creative Producer: @dani_edgren MLH Liaisons & Project Managers: Alex Rivas, Joshua Boumel Producers: Diaspora Calling! & @bt.studios Project Coordinator: Samuel Demey DP: @brett__arndt Editors: @cutbykenny, @dabaez Motion Graphics: @frameworxla Typography : @jamesxdsgn Interviewer: @armannafeei Photographer: @irma_mchedlishvili Hair: @raheem111, @hairbynigella Makeup: @alanapalaumakeup Nails: @Nailsbyniahhh_ Wardrobe: @fashionistalatinanyc, @raheem111 For Monsieur Wyclef Jean: Mgmt: Madeline Nelson Styling: @aprilroomet
