It's all about celebrating women this month and I

It's all about celebrating women this month and I wanted to give a shout out to every person who identifies as a woman to know you are loved and there is space for you. I know these are difficult times in the best of circumstances. The politicization around our bodies is disturbing to say the least. Sending love and strength to all. 🙏🏽❤️🌈
Ps. posting a picture from a time when my health was challenged in a way I’d never imagined at this age. Grateful to have worked with a team who executed on a vision of a woman that I wanted to celebrate in all of it's ups and downs. Cause that's what we do. We persevere. 💪🏽🙏🏽👋🏽

This guy. @nikeshshuklawriter ‘s writing and voice has been so important and his latest is no exception. It's a beautifully written, often brutally honest love letter to his daughters. It's funny, disturbing, hopeful and so much more. All you'd want in a book. I can't wait to talk to him. Join us this Friday. #IGlive #memoir #brownbaby #representationmatters #booktalks

I am so proud of @illmeetyoutherethefilm. It’s a miracle when a film gets made and even more impressive when it finds an audience. This film and team continues to carve out its path in exciting ways. After our fearless leader @irampbilalofficial and kick ass distributor @levelforward curated a stellar lineup of impact screenings and talk backs, the film is officially in the world for you to see. And don't take it from me- take it from the NY Times or NPR (so much press!), or so many more. I appreciate the many messages and emails I have already gotten from those who have watched the film. Taking the time to reach out means a lot, especially in these times. I'm so glad it's allowing for important and much needed conversation. I so believe in the power of art and am happiest when I know it's doing exactly that. Please continue to share and support. Available On Demand, Amazon, ITunes and more! And for some inside dish on the film, check out the #IGlive I did w @ipblsk, @faran.tahir and @nikitatewani (IGTV) Much love and gratitude. #indiefilm #actor #actorslife @muhammadqavikhan @abidazizmerchant @farahyasmeenshaikh 🙏🏽🎉🎬

Really looking forward to this one. Whether it be with personal, familial, professional, romantic, or friend relationships, this is something that I’ve struggled with in different ways. Achieving balance with the relationships in your life is so necessary for not just our own well being but for the longevity of the relationship itself. Hope you’ll join us. Perfect conversation as we celebrate all the love in our life this month! @lauriegerber_coach @handelgroup #iglive #valentines #relationshipgoals #selfcare

My dearest Maven. Our firecracker who has kept us on our toes since you came into this world. Your spirit, your laugh, the way your mind works...we are in constant awe. Hard to believe you’re only 4. We can’t wait to see all you will continue to do. Just please please please look both ways first. I don’t know how much more my heart can take, little fearless one. 🙏🏽😉☺️😭 #shes4 #birthdaygirl ❤️🎉

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. 💫

I continue to get messages, emails, and notes daily from so many of you who love this book. I know it has taken on extra meaning for so many of us as we watched EX Senator Purdue deliberately mispronounce @kamalaharris. I know it hurt our hearts that her name was mispronounced even when she was being sworn in yesterday. 😬

So many of us have been there.

I so appreciate those who reached out and shared that you read #AlwaysAnjali yesterday in your classrooms and at home with your children, talking about how important it is to take the time to get each other's names right. And to celebrate what makes us special. It matters so much. ☺️

And for those who are asking how to continue to support...Here are little things you can do that don’t cost a dime: leave a review on Amazon/Good Reads. Ask your local indie bookstore/library to keep the book in stock. Post about the book within your networks. These little things make a big difference. 🙏🏽👊🏽📚

Grateful for you, friends. 🙌🏽❤️
