We interrupt our race for the Webby to bring you this woman interrupting my midday sick nap. She didn’t know I come strapped with a karaoke machine at all times. 🎤 😂
Turns out boycotts work, and not everyone has to do it for it to work, and it works to the tune of tens of billions of dollars, and people without suggestions for pushing back in this era are invited to sit down and shut up. 🎯
Being a guest on @trackstarshow is truly a highlight of my life. Darn you, Jay Sean. Killed the streak. ✨ 🌈
Akilah Hughes talks to Dexter Thomas about how much the actors performing in your favorite vertical dramas on Instagram and TikTok are REALLY making in this week’s @howsthisbetter.
Spent a real amount of time in Massachusetts with @ryanhatesthis and his lovely family. Thankful for this year that brought me back from the dead. 🦃 🍁

WE DID IT! And I mean *we*!!! Thank you all SO MUCH for voting for Rebel Spirit to win the Webby Award for diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging in podcasting. @thewebbyawards site describes the category as work with the goal of “creating inclusive environments where individuals can be authentic without discrimination.” I can’t think of a project more suited and I’m so so proud of the entire team that brought the show to life. Now we need to write a five word speech. My first draft was “To the racists, f* you” but open to something less blunt 🩵🥰
The great @akilahh talks about doing a daily podcast on expert mode. #britanick #cashgrab #funnypodcast #akilahhughes #whataday #edible #politics #politicalhumor #sketchcomedy #podcastclips #funnystory

We are now in 2nd place for this @thewebbyawards, so I need you to dig deep. Consider this a final vote. And share this with your friends. Rebel Spirit is the most courageous show in the category, and not because of me, but because of the entire incredible team who relentlessly emailed and FOIA’d and the fans who sent letters and called and reminded Boone County High School that they are not innocent bystanders to history. Give Rebel Spirit a listen, and then give it a vote.

Akilah (Obviously) | Los Angeles | 2025 I remember when I first discovered @akilahh online back in 2016 through her YouTube channel, “Akilah, Obviously!” She was my introduction to leftist politics and progressivism back when I was forming my understanding of the US political landscape. Fast forward to today, it feels like a full circle moment to finally photograph Akilah. We chatted about the current state of affairs under the new Administration, and how now it’s more important than ever that we mobilize and protest before more of our civil liberties are stripped away. I thank Akilah for not only inviting me into her home and letting me document her, but for her work as a leftist and being my gateway into progressive politics for 8 years. Go check her page and follow her podcast and YouTube channel!
