Happy birthday dad! Thanks for giving up your day

Happy birthday dad! Thanks for giving up your day to fight for justice.

Today there was a caravan protest in this little town in North Carolina. The cops said they expected 300-400 cars to show up, but 1,000+ were there. It was incredible. We drove through 3 cities, holding signs out the window and honking at all the people who were standing outside their homes and businesses, joining us in solidarity. I didn’t know this many people lived in this town, let alone would join in this movement.

This town came together today to fight for justice. Some cops even held signs that said “I hear you.” And “I am with you.” Thank you NC Impact Coalition & Lanisha Bailey for organizing such a wonderful protest.

I am hopeful. ❤️ #blacklivesmatter

Today I donated to resources that need it & purchased two anti-racism books to teach myself how to be an effective ally. List of books/resources in my story.

What can you do today? ❤️ #Repost @brenebrown with @get_repost

From the dehumanizing language and policy of this administration, to the history of white women using the performative “quiver of fear” when calling the police to report innocent black men, to police brutality, the system is working exactly how it was designed. ⁣
⁣
The system is not broken. This is the expansive and intricate system of dehumanization that was constructed to support white supremacy and slavery. ⁣
⁣
The system is more complex now, but one thing remains at the center: We, the white folks, are the conduit for the system. It was built to serve us. When we do nothing it surges through us. To end racism, we have to break the system. We have to see it and fight against it - we have to be anti-racist. ⁣
⁣
There are many ways to break and rebuild. But here’s what I know for sure: ⁣
⁣
The most important anti-racism work I’ve done over the past 20 years and that I’m still doing is taught and led by people with the lived experience of racial oppression - NOT white people. This includes my professors, writers, activists, bosses, and mentors. For me, it’s also about seeing, sharing, and honoring the lived experiences of my friends whose realities are/were clearly different than mine. ⁣
⁣
Our job is to seek out the teaching, value it, submit to the pain of learning without asking our teachers to absolve us or add our emotions to their load, and know that being held accountable is hard and painful. And part of learning is acting and doing. ⁣
⁣
There are many teachers who are leading the way. Here are some teachers that I follow and who are doing critical work right now. ⁣

Yesterday I woke up in a funk. I posted on my IG story and asked for advice on how everyone is practicing self care in quarantine and SO many lovely humans gave me such good ideas. So I’m posting the list here to share in case you need it too 💙

1️⃣ Watching your favorite TV show in a bath with candles and 5 (or 15) glasses of wine 🍷👌🏼
2️⃣ Ordering takeout from a local place, building a blanket fort, & watching a movie
3️⃣ Buying yourself a gift on Amazon
4️⃣ Giving yourself a manicure/pedicure
5️⃣ Reading a book outside
6️⃣ Filling your empty cup with alcohol (which I did yesterday- 10/10 would recommend 😂)
7️⃣ Doing something new- learning a new skill to switch it up!
8️⃣ FaceTiming friends!
9️⃣ Doing a workout (like my class 😍)
🔟 DIY- scented candles, making bread, making lemonade
⏸ And honestly like 20 people said baths so it seems that that is where I’m gonna start!

Thank you friends!! This was so helpful! Thanks to everyone who reached out and sent love too. Feeling v loved. 🥰🥰🥰.

**also yes this photo was taken 100 years ago don’t @ me 😂

I always get so self conscious when I post my work online but I’m trying to get better at putting myself out there... so here we go!

Thank you @pereiraalexa for hosting this open call! I had so much fun putting this scene on tape. ☺️ And a HUGE thank you to the very best zoom reader in the world @lisajeannepeterson 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Season 2 won its first award this week!!! Best Episodic Content from IFS LA Film Fest! 🥰❤️ YAY! Congrats team & thank you so much LA Film Fest for recognizing our bb @adultingwebseries !

Can’t wait to celebrate in person with these three the only way we know how... 🖤😂

I feel like ever since this quarantine started I’ve been telling myself that it doesn’t matter if I shave my legs, do my nails, fix my brows, eat healthy... no one is gonna see for a few months so it doesn’t really matter what I look like....
.
And while it has been somewhat freeing to give myself a break from all that stuff, I also realized that I don’t do that stuff for other people. I do those things for me. That’s my self care. A good manicure and trimmed brow can make me feel like I have my shit together even on my worst days. Eating healthy and taking care of my body makes ME feel happy and confident. Weirdly I feel like I forgot that for a second??.
.
This weekend I was kinda in a funk and I realized it’s because I haven’t really been taking care of me. While I’ve been loving eating all the comfort food and hanging in sweats every day, it doesn’t necessarily make me feel good to ignore all the other stuff. So last night I did a face mask, gave myself a manicure and did my brows and WOW do I feel like a new person. 💙

Ahh quarantine... teaching me so much about myself, whether I like it or not 😂

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who showed me ea

Happy Mother’s Day to the woman who showed me early on that hats are not my thing... 😂

Thanks for being my adventure buddy, my rock, my shoulder to cry on. You are the strongest, most resilient person I know. I love you so much! 💕

This is me happy as a clam on the set of my bb @ad

This is me happy as a clam on the set of my bb @adultingwebseries . This is also one of the many moments when I realized how brilliant our DP @mariscela is.
.
In this scene the girls are kicking the boys out of their apartment post-coital (#relatable amiright). Mari brilliantly suggested we film the girls from a slightly lower angle so we looked powerful, and the boys from a slightly higher angle so they looked submissive, since the show is about the girls. I thought this was SO smart and something I never would have thought of.
.
Moral of the story- surround yourself by people who are incredible because they will elevate your project in ways you didn’t even know were possible. Thank you Mari Queen for your magic. 👑💕 Swipe right to see how it turned out!!! ➡️

Get you friends who will lie to you & say your hor

Get you friends who will lie to you & say your horrible sunburn line isn’t that obvious because they know you only brought one, low cut bathing suit and they want you to have a good time/not feel self conscious... so they lie and you feel great UNTIL you see the pictures and realize that the red line across your chest is BLINDING 😂🍅.
.
Anyway. This was a year ago. I miss the world and I miss my friends ❤️
