Now I want to know who this traveling executive was.
Bond, Kwame Bond.
Sekou Holmes and Dr Jamal Watson at your service.
Now I actually want to see this pair solve murders together.

There’s a Black girl from New Orleans named ZAILA AVANT GARDE currently competing in the Scripps National Spelling Bee today and no one talk to me about anything else. nola.com/gambit/news/th…
WHAT?!

“I actually have two Guinness Book world records right now,” she says. “One is for most bounces in one minute with three basketballs. The other is most juggles in one minute with four basketballs.”  brparents.com/article/zaila-…
Okay, @WNBA @KingJames @chiney, y’all know what to do:

“She hopes to be a WNBA player and has aspirations to become an archaeologist or basketball coach.” brparents.com/article/zaila-…

The thing about @lilnasx is that if he hadn’t birthed Old Town Road and Montero and become a self made cultural icon, he’d STILL be a genius communicator and marketer.
He’d be Montero Hill, a 22 year old junior employee whose ideas and abilities were likely overlooked because he doesn’t fit the corporate description of communications and marketing genius.
How many other Montero Hills are out there, working at your companies well below their abilities - not even getting interviews at your companies - because you can’t recognize the talent in this form?

And how much money are you leaving on the table because you can’t?

There's enough here to justify tweeting almost every paragraph in this, but y'all should just read the whole thing. vanityfair.com/hollywood/2021…
The story of how @DarrylMBell became the only Ron Johnson we acknowledge?!?!

It has been an extremely busy two months over @theblcklst so I'm putting everything that we're allowed to talk about yet in a single thread as both valuable information to screenwriters and film and television industry professionals and as a tribute to @theblcklst team

A thread:
Writers were selected via our partnership with @Google Assistant to receive $20K each and mentorship from writers including @maxbarbakow, Andy Siara, @MarjaLewisRyan, and @erivinoja.
@NZFilmCommissh selected the writers for the inaugural Black List New Zealand Project.

This is rather extraordinary.
Honestly though, having @PhyliciaRashad as the Dean of one's school would be stressful. It's one thing to disappoint your elders in an academic environment, but that would be too much.
Get called into the Dean's office and see this on the other side of the desk.

Absolutely not.
