This weekend marks the anniversary of a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement: Bloody Sunday. On March 7, 1965, peaceful marchers crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma while demanding the right to vote. We honor their courage and continue the fight for justice and equality. ✊🏾

🚨 Did you know? The video of George Floyd's murder was viewed over 1.4B times in 12 days.

I'll be joining the crew of #WhileBlack at SXSW. The poignant film explores this harsh reality of modern witnessing and the human cost of viral footage.

The plastic epidemic is not a "right" or "left" issue; it's a YOU issue, a ME issue, and quite plainly a global issue...

Plastics are, in fact, taking over the planet, and they don't discriminate.

πŸ“… Watch #ThePlasticsDetox, starting 3/16 on @Netflix.com #UnplasticYourLife

➑️ SXSW is where culture meets innovation. The importance of directing, narrating, and sharing our stories cannot be emphasized enough.

One film I am especially eager to watch is #WhileBlack. This documentary will surely leave an impact for decades.

"Plastic is killing communities in Cancer Alleyβ€”and it’s also shrinking the future in ways even Joe Rogan’s crowd can’t ignore."

#ThePlasticsDetox explores the negative effects of microplastics. Being in an important film that tackles this crisis makes me proud. Streaming 3/16 on @Netflix.

"Demonstration without legislation leads to frustration." -- Reverend Jesse Jackson.

As a leader, politician, and faith leader, Rev. Jesse Jackson made a lasting impact on this country and was one of the most recognized civil rights activists of the 20th and 21st centuries.

May he rest in power✊🏾 πŸ•ŠοΈ

ICYMI 🚨 | On February 6th, 2026, a pipeline explosion at the Delfin LNG Project took place in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. This is not a "one-off" incident but rather a reflection of a pattern of environmental disasters that persist in our communities without accountability.

Reflecting on an incredible few weeks. How beautiful is community? The Hip Hop Caucus Grammy Mixer was incredible.

I thoroughly enjoyed coming together in our DTLA office, where we connected with friends and family over our shared interest in music, culture, & activism. More power to the people.✊🏾

There's a lot going on in the world and in this nation. After leaving Sundance, I am reminded and reaffirmed of the importance of our roles in telling this story in real time and for the future generations. Producers, directors, and show runners. We all have a role and a duty.✊🏾

I leave you all with this reflection as I celebrateΒ Sundance Film Festival one last timeΒ in Park City, Utah. For the sake of both our lives and the lives of next generations, we must keep fighting.

Sundance Day 2, and I'm feeling inspired and nostalgic.

Although it's a bittersweet celebration as Sundance spends one last year in Park City, Utah, the energy is pervasive.

There's much more to come, family. All power to the people. ✊🏾

United with my brothers & sisters of the Divine 9, representing proudly this past weekend at the 50th Annual MLK Awards Luncheon.

We must fight against discrimination, voter suppression, and any attempts to silence our voices and take away our power. We are stronger together. πŸ™πŸΎ

Everything we’re seeing in 2026 is America keeping that same centuries-old energy.

Extraction and erasure with no accountability.
