Miss Are you Okay?

Oh heaven, oh heaven,
I wake with good intentions,
But the day it always lasts too long
Then I’m gone!

I was eight years old when I decided to be an actor. And I am just so privileged to be gazing on the beautiful face of the woman who inspired me that beautiful day, and that’s Cicely Tyson.

And when I woke up and realized how difficult it was to be an actor, and how the rejection was so high, then another beautiful face graced the screen when I was in college, and that was Meryl, who just …always inspires me.

But there’s so many people involved in The Help, in lieu of mentioning all them, I just have to say that, what is there but a dream? You can’t trade in your dream for another dream. I am so proud to be an actor, and I thank the Screen Actors Guild for this award.

And I have a special, special note to the kids in Central Falls, Rhode Island, in Segue Institute of Learning in Central Falls, Rhode Island: to dream big and dream fierce.

Thank you very much.

Whatever my feeling about the film Davis and Spencer are in, I’m forever down with a display of grace. And Viola Davis has a theater’s worth of it.

and can i just say that viola davis was lookin right?

this is the only life you get.

do you really have time to be shy, not speak up and let shit pass you by?

do you really have time to think you’re not the shit and that you don’t deserve to have a good life?

sure some bullshit will happen to you but as long as it’s not over, keep on going on.

didn’t hit your goal weight, didn’t excercise today, didn’t eat like you thought you would, forgive yourself, move on and do better but don’t wallow in your own bullshit.

Yesterday we made a quick run to the store after Fatima’s hair wash. My old school aunt was against her leaving the house with her “nappy” hair. She threw on her favorite headband. A random brotha on the elevator said ” ooh, I love your hair!” She replied ” thank you! All I did was wash it!” lol, her father tells her all the time that he loves her hair but it did my heart good to have another black man appreciate it. #naturalhair #beautiful #fatima #locs (Taken with instagram)
