"It is better to light a candle
Than to curse the dark"
*MAY 6, 2026* OPEN MIC DELIGHT!
Let out your happiness, your rage, your love, your truth, your peace, your joy, your empowerment, your silence, your pain, your story...whatever you wish to share.
Donation based writing workshop starts at 6pm for 40 minutes if you want/need to write some thoughts and feelings out from a prompt I give or on your own. Practice a piece with me if you like. Use the stage to rehearse something. Get feedback on delivery and stage presence/etiquette, nervousness etc. I GOT YOU!
(If you want a one on one poetry/writing workshop, any topic, dm/click on BOOK in bio/links.)
As for tonight's open mic, a safe space will be created and maintained for all beliefs, politics, and faiths. Best I canππΎπ
We about to hold space like an observatory up in here.
Hosting tonight once more if you need upliftment and an anchor, ANYTHING in your heart, in your mind, from politics and war to the wars inside we fight daily, we are open to hear it all and understand and confront it all and communicate it all better than ever before with healthy respect and the intentional joy of the building of bridges.
I'm focused on bridge making this year yall.
Calling IN than out.
Let's listen, share, play, process, & progress tonight!

Than to curse the dark"

Day 7 of 30: Sharing Success
Stories of accomplishment
Seem solid
solo
Like bootstraps
Get pulled up
With only two hands
When someone
Even invented
The boots we are wearing
Anyone
Who has ever made plans
Knows it takes a village
To do anything
Driving somewhere even...
People of service
Built cars
The roads
The signs
A black man, Richard B Spikes
Patented the tech
For the first turning signal
How crazy is that?
To rely on people
We have never met
But act like a solo road trip
Is ever without others
Or
Help
Thankfully
I have friends
From college to now
Who I can thank
For most
If not all things
I have ever booked
As an actor
Thank you, @fillupgreenbomb
For all you did and do
Still for theater & film
Shout outs to the cast/crew:
@kellyhazelking6@_christinemouton_@gurvirriar@willgbergdp@carson_d4@alexandrabayless
Dynamically directed/produced/created by @inspirebydoing and @dianefosterofficial for the phenomenal neck comfort masters: @cabeaucomfort !βπΏππ«‘
Featuring myself as "Bob L Head" & the solid, silly, and sincere acting skills of:
@megmccaig@allisonlobel@sakyiwaa
What a DAY!
1st on the call sheet
Is a responsibility
And this team
Made it easy to be ready
Also, who wants to know
What happens to Bob...?π
And lastly,
Remember
We are here for
And because each other
Anyone else
Might be trying
to sell you something...
(Ironic ending complete)

Deeply moved to share with you all that this is the first film I acted in & produced with a wonderful friend and director/producer @misaq.la is being screened at it's FIRST film festival, and I am just so happy that it's happening at the legendary cultural hub of poetry and community that is @bblitarts !
I am definitely wanting you all there for support since it's a film about family and cancer and I might be a mess of emotions π₯²...
Usually alot of events I do are in support of you and awakening more of the humanity in us...but in addition, I do selfishly want you to come to this as a birthday event also and we can grab food after nearby if youre all available or head to the beach maybe...!?π€ππΎπ
Either way, tickets are $21, $16 if you join their member program where you get free access to most of their events, and you can also attend more of the screening before the last block that I'm in to get your money's worth!
Any questions, post below, partiful link and link to tickets in bio as you know how that goes!
Love love love love yall~
Bonus Slide: BTS photos of making the film with Director/Producer @misaq.la ππΎπ¬
UPCOMING *ACTOR WORKSHOP! @hollywoodconfidential has links in bio!
Yall will LOVE IT! (Pretty penny though if you can invest it! *Honesty* lol)
Great supportive workshops, attitudes, and artists all wanting to grow and find support in this time when it can feel like you don't know the future of storytelling...
This is what keeps me going:
1. We have to keep telling stories.
2. Keep being honest even if you are the one that "looks bad".
3. Keep humanity as the bridge.
4. Call people IN instead of or after you call them "out". (*With love if you can or at least in a constructive way as if you did the harm and how you would want to be called out/in.)
5. Remember unity is the solution when separation and disunity has been the harm and growth of hatred or "othering."
6. Remember why you are here.
7. Love those hardest to love...they tend to need it the most. (Love doesn't = letting people hurt you or spreading yourself thin.)
8. Breathe slowly and deeply.
9. Keep your routine healthy best you can. Your fam and friends will appreciate you later and find inspiration in that.
10. Don't just love what you do, find the love in it over and over again and make sure your dream includes more than only you.
Thanks for being my community beautiful people.

Day 30 of 30: Inner Peace
Let me tap in
Let me rap with you
Lets open up
Lets get readyyyyy
To be vulnerable
To be humble too
So noticeable
The difference
When we're comfortable
Or undeniable
In our art and passion
Unshakable
Unmistakable
When we live in truth
When we live in our roots
To do everything
We have been excited to do
What we spoke into existence
Seeing it
Come into fruition
When we combine
Intuition
With dedication
Meditation with mental elevation
Fear excavation
And understanding
Why its there
Prepare for it
And it
Seems to disappear
Our focus shifts
Like tectonics
Keeping spirit hydrated
With community
And collective goals
Each one
Teach one
Love one
Be one
Be one
Lets be one
As we become
Our best self
Our own best storyteller
Our own
And each other's healers
Through reflections
And cinematic lessons
Given in close proximity
Media meant to be meaningful
Whatever the season
Especially Autumn
With a close up
Never closed up
Expansive storytelling
That opens our insides
Till we see new sides
Of our human-ness
Perspective in panavision
Ultra 70 anamorphic
Combined for the first time
With IMAX 65 mm
Ultra wide, tall, immersive shots
By a DP who sees life in 3D
And won for best cinematography
For a diligence and elegance
That only a collab
with Coogler could create
So creatively
A hunger
For story creation
And family relations
Multiple interpretations
And a story that spans
Generations and genders
Genres and genes
We felt Sinners in our bones
Scenes
That transcend
Science and logic
Till we feel
So connected
That even time
Stopped being linear
So it can enjoy
This film for eternity
These films
We feel so united
We share stories
With love
And care to keep daring ourselves
To tell the whole truth
Beyond the truth
And the pain under truth
The bravery beyond truth
The world we can be
If unity
Was priority
If forgiveness was mandatory
And joy
Was just
an everyday
Territory
