Happy Father’s Day to my daddio! From stories about his own life to stories about our history as a people, you are the reason I fell in love with history. I love you Dad! 💕
I’m packing for FRANCE! I’ll be in Cannes all of next week for @cannes_lions thanks to @teaelleu ❤️🇫🇷 By the way, I’ve been making the same excited face for over 20 years.
Changing my profile to an image where I’m wearing the same color as the #BlueforSudan. #Mattar lives on through us. The revolution continues. Photo by @messinaphotos.
TOMORROW !!! @bloomingdales SOHO 🖤 Join me and @bethanycmeyers for a fireside chat and @thebecomeproject class starting bright and early at 9 AM. Link in BIO! I’m giving away 3 tickets to folks who are interested. Just comment below to get your free ticket :)
I’ve been wearing more and more hats lately. All thanks to @aileyanaccessories. I’m so excited to wear this hat to the Stonewall Commemoration ceremony with @nycpride on June 28. It’s absolutely perfect for my outfit & the occasion. And shout out to @deetrannybear for my amazing hair design ❤️🤩
Who gave us permission to be THIS FLY? @akeemomarali and I spent Tuesday night at the premiere of @meninblack International. If you want to experience the nostalgia of watching 90’s reboot without any of the usual disappointment I highly recommend grabbing tickets to see #MIB. @tessamaethompson knocks it out of the park (as usual!) and @chrishemsworth continues to assert his position as The Best Chris™️. Thank you for the invite @thekarpelgroup 🖤
There is a revolution happening in Sudan. The government’s response has been to silence and massacre freedom fighters. The situation is dire and there have been internet and media blackouts impacting people on the ground. If it wasn’t for Sister @hadyouatsalaam I wouldn’t have known about the gravity of the situation there even though I had been keeping up with the protests for weeks to the best of my ability. Now is NOT THE TIME TO BE SILENT. Speak up. Read up. Please educate yourselves about what is happening in Sudan. There’s a frightening amount of misinformation but that is to be expected when the truth reveals the grave corruption of the people in power. My prayers are with the people of Sudan (both for those living within its borders and those who are separated from their land and forced to watch the devastation from far away) I believe in Allah and I believe in the people of Sudan. #PrayforSudan #ActforSudan #BlueforSudan #🇸🇩
I remember waking up to the horrific news of the #PulseShooting in Orlando, Florida in 2016. 49 souls had been extinguished in one violent act. Over the ensuing years I’ve become friends with @brandonjwolf, a man who survived the horrific shooting. @glaad introduced us in 2018 and gave us the opportunity to stand together as LGBTQ+ Black people. One Muslim, and the other a Pulse survivor. Because our communities are not at odds with each other. We stand together against hate and violence. Like Brandon said: No more thoughts and prayers. #HonorThemWithAction
