I just finished my first feature script. 😎 Last year, at this exact time, I was filming the first movie I’ve ever been part of. Meeting and befriending so many of the people I did during that process and being in relationship with others who are already doing this in MAJOR ways



Did you have African American ancestors from Louisa or Orange County Virginia area between the years of 1817-1870? If so, send a DM. #enslaved @blackprogen #genealogy @descendantsuva

Our friends at UVA need your help! If you have African American ancestors in Fluvanna - please message them - or reach out to us and we will put you in touch! There is important historical and genealogical work happening - and your ancestors may be an important part of the story.

1830: 147 enslaved African Americans live and work at the university. 66 people are held by professors, 57 others by hotelkeepers, the remaining 24 by UVA. #uvalegacies #slaveryuva


I am patiently waiting on Twitter to do the right thing. Thank you...@elonmusk

To Jayden who has hacked and taken over the @familytreegirl., shame on you for hacking an important Black genealogy @Twitter feed. Do the right thing and return it Ms. Murphy. @elonmusk FYI
