BLACK MEN DONâT CRY < LIBERATION (RED)
The beginning said itâs pointless. Time said itâs necessary.
This writing process at first was really just a personal therapy exercise after the game I grew to love came to an end unexpectedly, so seeing it on such a global platform was also⌠unexpected.
Again salute to the entire @threecolorsfilm team for grinding for two years straight to bring this project to where it is today. Much respect and congratulations to everyone involved.
Three Colors: Pan African is premiering May 29, 2026, in Miami at the American Black Film Festival.

SOULPOWER
On February 12, 2026, our docuseries telling the groundbreaking story of the ABA premieres on Prime.
I didnât know what the ABA was when I first got the call. But then I started hearing things like, âBefore Michael Jordan, there was Julius Ervingâ & âWithout the ABA, there is no NBA.â Thatâs when the project really caught my attention.
After traveling the country and hearing these brothas share their stories, I realized this was much bigger than sports. This is the story of unsung heroes whose resilience paved the way for so many men and women today.
Shoutout to Kenan for giving the youngin a shot. And shoutout to everyone I worked with for making this project such a unique and fun experience.
Tap in February 12. You donât want to miss it.
Black Men Donât Cry, Chapter I
Black men are often taught that our existence is monolithic. We must be physically strong and emotionally closed off. We must be providers. Our only path to success is through the use and abuse of our bodies.

AFRICA TOLD BY US (Est.2024)
@sheena_lashea & I traveled to Bamako, Mali to tell you a story. A story of substance. A story filled with emotion. S/O to everyone whoâs played a part in this movement so far. African stories deserve to be heard and told authentically, just like any other story. The power in these stories is priceless. Mali was just the beginning, not the end. Letâs keep working together đđż
