Molly Carter @insecurehbo 🤝🏾 me in 3 years In the words of Young Dolph, “She like to argue so I…” and you know the rest. Seven years later, Columbia, we meet again. The cat’s finally out of the bag — or should I say lion? 🦁🤭 See you in August, CLS. #BlackGirlsDoLaw #YesterdaysPriceIsNotTodaysPrice 🗣️ 📸: my fellow Maconite @erichartjr 🍑

“What happens when a magical spell transforms a high-fashion doll into a full-blown problem?" For @HuffPost , I wrote about the 2000s movie that walked so that Greta Gerwig’s #Barbie could run: Disney’s “Life-Size,” starring Tyra Banks & Lindsay Lohan. As the #barbiemovie hits theaters today, let us not forget the original that set the tone 23 years ago. In the words of Eve, “Shine bright, shine far, be a star.” 💫 Head to the #linkinbio to read up! • 📸: ABC Photo Archives via Getty Images

In July, I flew back to my home state to interview hooper-turned-hitmaker @flaujae for @teenvogue ’s September 2025 issue. We talked about beauty standards, her final season at LSU, her #WNBA & Grammy-winning aspirations and much more. 📸: @kendallbessent • • • • • • • Anyone who knows me knows how integral TV was to my adolescence in GA, hence all my old print editions in the last slide. 😅 Grateful to write the cover for a magazine I loved so dearly growing up, one that continues to shape, impact & challenge culture. Eternally thankful to be surrounded by people like @aiyanaish who mention my name in a room full of opportunities.
