Maybe the purpose of an orchard, of a garden, of a forest, is to scatter the seed and love whatever may sprout... and shout its name at the top of your lungs... And so concludes one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. In Spring 2025, my team (@kirsten_king_official_ , @tadiwaa.nashee , and myself) were chosen to develop a choreopoem that I wrote (with contribution from Nzzy Odessa and Choreography from Dr. Nicholas Goodly (an amazing poet, dancer, and friend)) as a part of Round 11 of the Reiser Atlanta Artists Lab facilitated by the Alliance Theater... The last year has been a fever dream of late night writing sessions, emotional rehearsals, challenges, hurdles, trials, and tribulations... and honestly, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I am so grateful to every hand that has touched this project, and every voice that has contributed an opinion, a suggestion, or piece of encouragement as we've journeyed to our final staged reading. And rather than recount further how intense this journey has been (feel free to ask), or even talk about what the show is about (I am determined to make sure you get the chance to see it again, live), I'd rather spend time talking about the community that this project has grown... my garden of love. (See pics 10 - 16)

On March 7th we did a tribute to the one and only D’ Angelo 🕊️ produced by myself and @larrywilsonmusic sponsored by @citywineryatl and @atlcollective with our buddy @itsnotaxylophone featuring the Vanguard vocalists @jermaineholmes @ahrel_lumzy_official and @reddmusic with special guest performers @anthonydavidatl @kameroncorvet @yoshihanaa @itsnotaxylophone MC/trumpeter @dashillsmith and poet @adanbean along with an amazing band @liljohnroberts @larrywilsonmusic @tresfunk @rick.watford @rafacap @dashillsmith @saunderssermons @marquinnmason @jamelmitchell @iamkhemestry We tried our best to capture some of the essence of D’s music in front of a sold out audience in Atlanta, and we all felt D’s spirit in the room. Here’s a medley of some of his songs. We will forever hold a place in our hearts for D! Much love to my Philly fam @questlove @jamespoyser and London fam @pino_palladino_official_ and Roy Hargrove, Spanky Alford RIP @russelevado and everyone that had a hand in creating these masterpieces from the 1st album to the last, thank you 🙏🏾❤️

Join @soulcinemasundays this Sunday, April 19th! Did I say This Sunday! I am very honored to have been asked to be the guest moderator after the screening of “Purple Rain.” Purple Rain is very special to me. As a Prince obsessor, I watched this movie as well as “Under the Cherry Moon” ad nauseum. He was a master, a mentor, a visionary, a rebel, a trendsetter and so much more. I’m honored to be having a discussion with @erniesuggs as we talk about Prince’s incredible life, legacy & the indelible impression he left on us all. Sunday April 19th at 4pm at the Plaza Theatre Hosted by @teamabyss You can get tickets at @soulcinemasundays bio or at the door. #dowhatyoulove #lovewhatyoudo #atlanta #prince #purplerain
