Aahhhhh! Y’all! I’m going to be in an amazing TV show and it’s called “Albie’s Elevator!” This is an all new, original tv show for preschoolers, brought to you by #WHYY ! Each half-hour episode follows the adventures of self-appointed elevator operator, Albie, as she navigates her big feelings with the help of her grown-up neighbors. The series explores, social-emotional learning through an arts lens, as Albie meets Philadelphia-based performers, visual artist, musicians, and more who share how they deal with big feelings, and the twists and turns of their own creative processes.

I CANNOT wait for everyone to watch, especially my goddaughter and all my nieces and nephews! 🥹🥹 Being a part of this team has been incredible. Shoutout to the brilliant mind of Caitlin Corkery, the incredibly talented folks at #BigHowl , and every single person that makes this possible!

I just can’t get over the fact that I get to do this with my friend, and co-host of #PoppaPank , Justin Jain! And we didn’t even know we were both in it ‘til after we were cast! 🤯

My first episode airs June 13th and the show premieres June 12th! Please spread the word to the adults and kiddos in your life! See you on the elevator! 🛗

LEGENDARY NIGHT!! Happy birthday, Miss @Janet Jackson !!

Flygirrl?! YOU DID YA THANG!! What an amazing party! Like..I honestly gotta give it up to the city of Philadelphia because we were partying with JANET DAMITA JO JACKSON and everybody was CHILL! Sure we got our photos and videos, but nobody was wildin out, everyone respected boundaries, and we all just partied together!! 🥹🥹🥹 What an amazing night! DJ Joshua Lang was killin soon as we stepped in the venue…the lower level of the historic Divine Lorraine Hotel aka Broad Hall. Then @Questo came in and the BPMs were UP and STUCK for the first 20 minutes he got there!! Like…I was SO hot! I felt like I was dancing a mile a minute. 1000 calories burned for the night!

SHOUTOUT to my friend who told me about the party and who let us know Janet was supposed to be there! I was, of course, skeptical, but I said I gotta go! I was TIRED when I got there around 10:30. Like…sleeping with my eyes open…it was a Monday night! But then Ms. Jackson If Ya Nasty arrived around 11!! And stayed til like 1:30!! THANK YOU for celebrating your birthday with the people!! Like…are y’all understanding?? This was a small venue in North Philly at a party to which anyone could buy a ticket…and Janet was down for it!! I love that so much! Thank you for giving many of us a once-in-a-lifetime experience!!

#DJAktive , who is her tour DJ, was, of course, in the building! He provided Party of the Year last year during City Sips at Balcony Bar!

I’m EVEN MORE HYPED to see him, @Ludacris , and Miss Janet Jackson on Saturday for her concert in AC. LET’S GOOOO!

Thank you to everyone who made this happen. Partied with a legend for a $15 Eventbrite ticket. 🤯🤯🤯 FLYGIRRL!! You’re amazing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JANET JACKSON! 🥳🥳

GO, NY! GO, NY! GO! 🧡💙🧡💙

Lissen…I LOVE me some basketball! I grew up watching games with my parents in the living room…and as native New Yorkers…we, of course, root for the
@New York Knicks !

I’ve never been to a Playoff game so I knew I needed to be there! Just so happens that my friend, my brotha, Akeem, and the homie, Swain, are both @Miami HEAT fans! So we gathered our belongings…went to 30th Street Station…and rode from Philly to NYC for Game 2 of the Heat vs Knicks series.

BOOOYYY, we had a time! Being sandwiched between two Heat Haters…yet surrounded by my fellow NEW YORKAS was top tier! Much smack was talked by us and the people around us…but it was all in good fun! I was nervous most of the game…but the Knicks pulled it off in the end!

“Jimmy, we need you” will always be my fav! 🤣🤣 Also, shoutout to the cameraman who made his way to the tippy top of the Garden to make my Jumbotron dreams come true! It was giving Celebrity Row! 🤣

Looking forward to the rest of the series. KNICKS IN SEVEN!

Thank you, Dain Saint, for the opportunity and for all the members of my #JCOmmunity who were in his DMs when he asked for suggestions for local poets on his Story!

Shoutout to fellow poets, Gabriel Ramirez, Jovan McCoy, and @maryzmance , who I got to share space with! Had to hit ‘em with the #TonyBaker , “IN THE STUDDDIOOO!” 🤣Check out the feature and hear some powerful words from poets living right here in Philly!

#PankPoppas ! We are back with our fourth installment of #PoppaPlays with #PoppaPank and this one is super special!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t be joined by my friend, and co-host, Justin Jain, because he is currently in rehearsals for a show. However, I was able to be joined by former guest of the podcast, Friend of the Pod, Barrymore Award-Winning actress, @daniellelenee ! We took our show on the road and went to see @fathambway in New York City!

The Pulitzer Prize winning play, “Fat Ham,” was written by our friend, and first #PoppaPank guest ever, #JamesIjames !! Both Justin and I are SO proud of James!! This phenomenal production is directed by the incredible, Saheem Ali, and features an All Star cast! It is a co-production between the @publictheaterny and the National Black Theatre!

This remix of the Shakespearean tragedy, “Hamlet,” is poignant, heartbreaking at times, hilarious throughout, beautiful in the best way, and filled with so much JOY…AND it’s only 95 minutes! Danielle and I literally were laughing and crying through the whole thing! I’ve seen it on Broadway twice, the Public once, and @thewilmatheater digital production once…AND I WANNA SEE IT AGAIN!

Make sure you get your tickets ASAP for this limited run at the American Airlines Theatre! You don’t want to miss this! Grab your tickets at FatHamBroadway.com!

The next episode of our joy-forward Arts & Culture podcast, #PoppaPank, will air live on Wednesday, April 12, at 9PM…and it’s our Three Year Anniversary episode! Link in bio! If you miss the live recording because you happen to be at the OPENING of Fat Ham, you can always watch the replay or listen wherever you get your podcasts!

If you are interested in having #PoppaPank come to YOUR show, feel free to DM or email us!

Shoutout to the OG! Before twists, ‘fro, locs, and Switch Up, there was #BRAIDS !

As we near the end of Women’s History Month, I want to give a special shoutout to all the Black women and girls who have elevated my work by creating THOUSANDS of videos using my poem, “A Black Girl and Her Braids.” It has been such a joy to see you in all of your beauty rocking to my words with your gorgeous styles! Thank you to every Black woman who appeared in this video as well!

If you have not done so, please make sure you sign the #TheCrownAct so we can get nationwide legislation passed to ban hair discrimination. Link in bio!

Had to do a lil #poetry to express my joy in trying the @4ubytia haircare line by @tiamowry !

I really loved using these products! My fav so far is the Moisturizing Conditioner. It feels really good on my hair when I apply it! I also really like the shine and the smell of the Multiuse Hair Oil.

Everything smells really good. Something about the scents makes me feel calm and happy 😊

I also love that everything is priced between $9.99 and $10.99. I’m looking forward to seeing how this line continues to grow and expand!
