This is why I voted YES. Writers are not the only ones struggling under the current industry business model. That is why we are supported by every major Hollywood union and community leaders across the LA area. #WGAStrong #WGAStrike We are asking for fairness: when the studios invest millions into producing a certain film or series, they can find it in their budgets to pay us for the value we create. #WGAStrong #WGAStrike

Excited and honored to announce that As We See It (@asweseeitpv ) will be premiering for streaming tomorrow on Amazon Prime Video. . It has been a joy writing on this show. It truly is a passion project for all of us in the neurodiverse community, as well as our allies. Growing up there were rarely any depictions of what it's like to be on the spectrum, especially as a woman. Excited for you all to see it! . This show was created by Jason Katims, creator of Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, based on the Israeli show @onthespectrum . It has been an amazing experience writing on Season 1 in 2020 and now Season 2 of the show. Fun fact: Friday Night Lights was one of the very first pilot scripts I learned from, and now I'm writing on the creator's show. It all comes back full circle. . Writers: Ian Deitchman (@iandeitchman ) Kristin Robinson (@kristinruskrobinson ) Jessica Goldberg (@jessgroses ) Denise Hahn (@denisechahn ) Romi Barta (@romi_michelle ) Jesikah Suggs (@jesikahcs ) Writing Assistant Jesse Gumbiner (@jgumby328 ) Script Coordinator Sara Kimura (@unsimplysara ) . Actors: Sue Ann Pien (@sueannpien ) Albert Rutecki (@albertrutecki ) Rick Glassman (@rickglassman ) . . . . . . . . . . #autismawareness #onthespectrum #neurodiversity #autism #amazonmovies #showrecommendation #disabilityawareness #disabilityinclusion #disabilitypride #amazonprimevideo #autisticadults #autisticwomen #autismacceptance #autismfamily #autismlife #autismparent #neurodivergent #neurodiversesquad #screenwriter #screenwriting #blackscreenwriters #tvproduction #femalewriters #blackfemalewriters #primestudio#actuallyautistic

“Do not be afraid to disappear, from it, from us, for a while, and see what comes to you in silence.” This quote was a mood for 2021. Tomorrow I’ll be sharing news about exciting projects I’ve been working on in 2021. . . . . . . #michaelacoel #imaydestroyyou #hbomax #blackgirlmagic #blackfilmmakers #aspiringwriter #aspiringfilmmaker #aspiringactress #blackscreenwriters #motivationalspeech #filmproduction #filmcommunity #filmmakerlife #filmrecommendation #motivationalquotes #successfulblackwomen #writerofig #writersofinsta #writersnetwork #writershelpingwriters #blackwriters #writersconnection #writerssociety #motivationalspeaker #filmwriter

At the end of the day, this is a fight against white supremacy and racism. Whether it's anti-Black violence, anti-Asian, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ+ violence, whichever disenfranchised minority group, we must support one another. By pitting us against one another, that is how white supremacists and racists divide and conquer us to stay in power and uphold the same paradigm in this country. . Anti-Asian hate crimes increased nearly 150% in 2020 with over 3,800 reports of verbal harassment, civil rights violations, and physical assault from March 2020 to February 2021. #StopAsianHate #BlackLivesMatter #LGBTPride
