“You don’t often get to see a gender non-conforming character that is Black have a relationship, a friendship, with a heterosexual Black man. To be a part of a show that has such a huge diversity of color and LGBTQ representation is very important. I don’t think we capitalize on it enough but I do think the more and more we start to see people that are Black and gay in these spaces, the more and more we can take the bandaid off of unhealed wounds.” - @misslawrence on the diversity of his show @staronfox and why inclusion always matters via @essence #television #creatives #SundaysBest #NativeSon
A #NativeSon Mother’s Day Tribute
Well, son, I’ll tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
It’s had tacks in it,
And splinters,...
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor—
Bare.
But all the time
I’se been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And turnin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark
Where there ain’t been no light.
So boy, don’t you turn back.
Don’t you set down on the steps
’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.
Don’t you fall now—
For I’se still goin’, honey,
I’se still climbin’,
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. - Langston Hughes, “Mother to Son” from Collected Poems #atribute #HappyMothersDay #womenwelove #NativeSon
