    Issa - I know you will not likely see this. I am 71 years old. I stumbled upon Awkward Black Girl in early 2011 & laughed for hours!!! Then, immediately sent it to my son & his wife, who were in their early 30's. They were so shocked their old mama hipped them to something so dope!!!! We shared many laughs watching those adventures. So cleaver funny!!! I'm so proud of you!!! Keep soaring!!!!❤❤❤❤

    Being in a position to get approached for projects, that you are too busy to take, creates a great opportunity to refer them to someone else in your circle. “Oh, that sounds like a great project, unfortunately I can’t do it right now, but I know ______ who would be great. Let me connect you two.” Saying “No” opens up an opportunity for someone else to say “YES!”.

    Ms. Ava Duvernay - your brilliance is so multifaceted!! You are literally anointed for this journey!!! Thx for sharing the grit it has taken to pursue your destiny. Also, you define GRACIOUS. You spoke for almost an hour about your journey of taking off the smelly coat & PUSHING yourself to your own path to success. Your careful, deliberately gracious response to the first question from the audience was...beyond grace. ❤👑💖

    I love African-American women like Ida B Wells, Isabel Wilkerson, Ava Duvernay, Nicole Hannah Jones, Michelle Alexander, Melissa, Victoria, Harris - Perry, formally known as Melissa, Victoria Harris - Lacewell, is an American writer, professor, television host, and political commentator, with a focus on African-American policies and politics (Who make a positive difference for us all to follow and emulate). You all make me proud African-American, and spark Joy in me and many others, and make the world a better place to live in for future generations! I loved Isabel’s masterpiece book the warmth of lovers other sons. Her book Caste did not get the recognition it deserves Because it cuts too close to the bone concerning what BIPOC lives with in the USA Today. Think You, Ava Duvernay for making that Recognition happen for Isabel Wilkerson. God bless you For being so wonderful and vivacious! You made my TH-cam playlist.

Like we are afraid people will try and little us because we want to do something that is just beginning, but I'm not scared now. I'll be asking you Ava AND Issa!
