Most folks don’t know that I knew @Ava long before #metoo popped off. This thread made me reflect on the last decade too and how her glow up in some ways begat my own. Weird I know...but follow me.
I met @Ava in 2010. I was Managing Director of a Black Arts Org in Philly and we partnered with other local orgs to promote #IWillFollow movie by getting people to the theater on opening weekend. I remember her laying out the plan in a small meeting and I thought it was brills.
I became an admirer. Loved the film and was STOKED when #MiddleofNowhere was released and she won Sundance. Bc of her Philly ties we knew a lot of the same folks so we saw each other at events locally.
