@AMC @ALLBLK . When I was asked to take on this project with just 7 business days to execute, I knew it was going to be a tall order. I spoke with the director, Ron Dias, and after our conversation, I knew I had to do it. The film is incredible, and the cast... I don't think I’ve ever encountered a group so talented, gracious, and humble. These days, I only align myself with things that truly make sense for my spirit and add to my self-worth. Morningside is it. This multilayered, complex, yet compelling film touches on the injustices and adversities marginalized people face daily: gentrification, territorial beef, and the troubling notion that people are willing to die for a hood they have no ownership in. From Scarborough to the Bronx, it doesn’t matter where you're from—you will find something truly compelling in this film. I challenge all my friends, colleagues, and followers to please stream it, love it, and most importantly, share it. This project was independently funded, and everyone in the cast literally rolled up their sleeves and got in the paint to make sure this day came to fruition. So proud of this cast, and so honored to be a part of this moment. Shout out to
