I always say, dont take advise from someone whose never gone where you are trying to go. Dont ask directions from folks who never go anywhere. There are people who prefer you to be stuck. Stuck people are easier to control and manipulate. You may fail time and time again but it's our failures that offer the best guidance. Dont be afraid of NOT being everything to everyone...cuz that's the quickest way to being nothing to you. Love and light good people.

This week’s #wcw is soon-to-be super mama Danielle Brooks. @daniebb3 stars as the dynamic and layered Taystee in Orange Is The New Black, which is now airing its last season on Netflix. She has also starred in Broadway - for which she won a Grammy and a Tony.... and released her own EP, “Four.”I first met her at an Emmy party years ago and it's always love and light and soul hugs every time I've seen her since. Can’t wait to watch you shine during motherhood!! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today's #WCW is creator, show runner, executive producer, host and STAR @robinthede. Robin is one of my favorite people to hang with on the planet. She is pee your pants funny, and has a love for travel and adventure. She's fearless and compassionate, which manifests in her brand of tireless activism. Her accolades and accomplishments are monumental. She's the first black woman to be a head writer in late night (The Nightly Show) and fourth black woman ever to host a late Night show (The Rundown with Robin Thede). She was also named one of Variety's Top Ten Comics to Watch for 2019. Charity wise, she has been fighting for opportunities for black women writers and POC for the better part of a decade, including spearheading legislation that would create writing jobs in NYC from the NY tv/film tax credit. Her new show @ablackladysketchshow premieres this Friday 8/2! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there!

Today's #WCW is @mjrodriguez7. I 1st met MJ a couple years ago and from the second we saw each other, we hugged like long lost friends. She is an incredible culture shifting talent that demands attention. Now in its 2nd season, @poseonfx was and continues to be must-see TV... and MJ’s character "Blanca" is the rock of the series. Blanca is the fierce, compassionate, loving mother I aspire to be. It was just announced yesterday that she will soon be gracing the Pasadena Playhouse stage in Little Shop of Horrors alongside Amber Riley. Mj is just getting started and I am better for knowing her. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today’s #WCW is the dynamic and immensely talented @stormreid. She has been involved with groundbreaking film & television like A Wrinkle In Time, When They See Us, and Euphoria. Not to mention she just booked Suicide Squad and Don’t Let Go with David Oyelowo! At just 16 years old she is poised, sweet, and a kind activist. She is one of the new voices of the next generation and her fashion sense is next level! Beyond acting, she’s founded a production company, and will be producing and directing soon…. which I am SO here for! Can’t wait to see what comes next. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

This week’s #WCW are all the amazing ladies of the @uswnt who just won the 2019 FIFA World Cup! This team of 23 boss women are 4x World Cup Champions… while also being fighters and activists. On international women’s day, these courageous women took a stand against the U.S. Soccer Federation for their rights to equal pay after undergoing years of gender discrimination against their male counterparts. This team is a role model for all women and a reminder that we should all take a stand. Know your worth… and add tax 😉! Congrats on your incredible win! Let us life them up in the light of goodness and hold them there. #equalpayforequalplay

Today's #WCW is my little cousin, the pride of Nor Cal, repping the Bay to Sacramento @saweetie !!!! I remember the 1st time I laid eyes on her as a tiny baby and my dad told her dad "Ya done good kiddo.” Saweetie continues the family tradition of being an independent self made woman. This USC graduate has her albums ICY & High Maintence and hit singles like Icy Grl, My Type and Pissed out now with the video for "My Type" which dropped today. She is as compassionate as she is a baddie. She is as fly as she is intelligent. And she is as family oriented as she is a hard worker. I'm just painfully proud of all that shes accomplished on her own terms and all by herself with zero help. She assembled an amazing team and keeps cranking out bangers. And it was just her birthday so everyone wish her a HBD! Let us hold her in the light of goodness and keep her there. Love you fam

Today's #WCW is my ❤ @ayeshacurry . I've known Ayesha and Steph since they were just dating and have rooted for her, them, and both sides of their fabulous and welcoming families. Ayesha is the type of friend who gently encourages you when you need it most, and loudly cheers you on when you've lost all hope. She is genuine and kind and a fierce mama bear and business woman. She has turned her passions into a thriving and ever expanding empire. From her cookware at Target, to her yummy restaurants International Smoke, to cookbooks, and her new show @foodfightabc (which she hosts and executive produced), the sky is the limit. I honor you as a true friend and am inspired by your honesty and authenticity. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and keep her there.

We connected via social media and mutual friends and would reach out to cheer each other on, show support and most importantly, to show love. She is incredibly smart, funny, conscientious and stop traffic beautiful. She’s currently working on new 🔥🔥🔥 music and will grace big screens and small in 2 starring roles!! Thank you Justine for always reminding us to straighten our crowns and soar. We gotchu. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

I'm sure I made an ass of myself 🤯 but Syd was so cool and gracious and it just made me an even more massive fan. Syd is an immense talent - singer , songwriter, record producer, disc jockey , audio engineer, and overall dope human being. She has a Grammy nom under her belt, and is pretty much involved with every album and artist you are obsessed with. If you haven’t dug into her catalog, get into it! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today’s #WCW is the hysterical and brilliant, @aliwong. I'm a massive fan of her comedy specials and I know I’m going to love the new movie she stars in, Always Be My Maybe, out this Friday! This woman is a multi talented actress, comedian, writer and mother. And - she has a book coming out, so mark those calendars for October 15th! She’s honest and raw and funny about so many topics including motherhood. I have never met her, but in my mind, I feel like we are bffs and could enjoy Grease 2 together. She is my girl for all seasons. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there!
I am honored, humbled, and still have CHILLS over this performance. @kodileerocks - You are going to change the world!!!! Thank YOU for being my #goldenbuzzer 🌟This is what #AGT is all about!!!

Today’s #WCW is @naomi. I 1st met Naomi almost 20 years ago in the lobby of a hotel in Milan and she asked me, a total stranger, if I had a hot comb. I diiiiiiid 🤗 and ran up to my room and grabbed it and brought back down to her. From that moment forth, I've run into Naomi all over the world and we greet each other with soul hugs and smiles. Her generation declared her a supermodel making her just 1 of 6 to receive that title at the time. She is winner of the prestigious CFDA Fashion Icon Award, amongst countless other awards and honors. And today is this beauty’s birthday! Everyone please wish @naomi a happy happy birthday. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there

This week’s #WCW is singer, rapper, and “that b*tch” @lizzobeeating. Her latest album “Cuz I Love You” (which charted in Billboard’s Top 10), is empowering women everywhere to love their bodies and feeeeellll the skin they’re in. Lizzo explains “ I don’t need anybody to tell me I look good… I don’t even need the f***ing mirror to.” Her journey towards unconditional self love is inspiring to watch, and mannnn does it sound good on the ears! Her album is filled with self esteem boosting anthems that make you feel invincible. Lizzo’s music is self-care in action. Shout out to her for lifting up her black sisters, her big sisters, her black trans sisters, and for teaching them that they are SEEN and HEARD. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

I've cried so many times today for so many reasons, mainly because I'd gotten accustomed to heartbreak and disappointment. I think alot of us live in that space. I set up shop there. This moment reminded me that miracles do happen. You cant age out of joy. You are worthy. You are worthy. You are worthy. Sending so much love today to all the mamas, stepmamas, grandmas, aunties real and play, daddies, friends and anyone who has taken the time to nurture another living soul. I see you, I gotchu. And to those who have lost their mamas, grandmas, mother figures, sending extra love and light and hugs your way. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

This week’s #WCW is model, tv personality, activist, and entrepreneur @tyrabanks. Tyra has come out of modeling retirement to return to the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit - more than two decades after making history as being the first black woman to grace the cover of the magazine solo in 1997. “Since Tyra’s first cover in 1996, she’s transformed herself into nothing less than a mogul, a cultural force and a supernova of inspiration and empowerment,” says SI Swimsuit Editor MJ Day. “She’s kind of the Swimsuit Issue ethos come to life, everything we know this franchise can be.” Yasss Tyra, showing the world what 45 & fine is! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today’s #WCW is the trailblazing Halima Aden, who just made history as the first model to wear a hijab and burkini for @si_swimsuit!! @halima was born in Kakuma refugee camp in northeastern Kenya and moved to the states when she was only 7 years old. She stated, “Growing up in the States, I never really felt represented because I never could flip through a magazine and see a girl who was wearing a hijab. Being in Sports Illustrated is so much bigger than me. It’s sending a message to my community and the world that women of all different backgrounds, looks, and upbringings … can stand together and be celebrated.” It’s time to celebrate YOU and all the women that are encouraged to feel beautiful for who they are. Thank you Halima for being a leader and showing women globally that beauty comes in many forms and has no limits. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

I really didnt want to believe I'd to have to write something like this about John. I am a believer of miracles. Alas...I met John when my older sister Kelly enrolled at USC in 1986 & quickly became friends with a group of fun loving, black, creative masterminds. They called themselves the "Black Pack" I was 13 then and in awe of how loud and proud they were. Each friend contributing a different vibe and talent. By the time I turned 18 they chaperoned (yeah right 🤗) my birthday party. When I transferred to UCLA they promised my family they would look out for me & they did. The entire time I've been in Hollywood I knew I had big brothers who had my back & that knowledge gave me wings. While they all accomplished so much, there was John breaking barrier after barrier making dreams into reality and never losing that loud and proud, by any means necessary mentality. Flash forward decades and I'd run into him in the islands or Miami and we'd laugh in awe and glee at how far we'd both come. I will forever be grateful to the Black Pack & John Singleton. You showed me exactly what we can do when we stick together. Love & Light to all his loved ones and fans. Hold onto one another, we are greater together. Rest in eternal peace 🙏🏾🙏🏾

This week's #WCW is none other than my TV mama @margaretshugavery. For the last 7 years, I've had the luxury of watching this Oscar nominated actress work up close. I am so grateful for the master class she blessed us all with everyday on the set of #beingmaryjane. Ms. Avery dropped so many pearls of wisdom, tales of shenanigans, impromptu concerts and room filling smiles to last a lifetime. She is an actress, singer, activist, devoted mother and still dances up a storm at hot spots around the city with her crew. I am a better woman for being in her presence. Let's us continue to lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

In Spring of 2012, I got the opportunity of a lifetime - Pauletta "Mary Jane" Patterson came into my life. In many ways we shared similar struggles and triumphs, loves and losses, and especially the penchant for epic reads. Finally, so many of us saw our beautifully complicated and rich lives as we tuned into @BETMaryJane. We've laughed, cried, cried some more, screamed, rolled our eyes, sucked our teeth, walked away and come back in frustration... whether we acknowledged it or rejected it, she at times was us, and we were her. Tomorrow night our #BeingMaryJane journey comes to an end. I hope yall tune in and see how it all ends. I will miss playing her, but more than that, I will miss our cast, Atlanta crew, LA writers and each and every fan who watched our show. We are grateful and we are humbled. We ❤ yall and we never took you for granted. We apologize for the delay but we are here and ready to snatch wigs and moisturize elbows. Get ready! The Series Finale is tomorrow on @bet at 8/7c

Today's #WCW is @beyonce. While she needs no introduction and we all know what shes accomplished, and she means so much to so many, lemme give all praise and glory to the woman who continuously and unapologetically inspires me to push limits, boundaries, and redefines what it is to be a conscientious entertainer and global citizen. Thank you B for being exactly who you are and thank you for leading from the front. Thank you for never acting brand new whenever I see you. Thank you for the soul hugs and knowing smiles. Thank you for telling me not to give up on my mommy dreams. And thank you for showing up at the Spades tourney! Her new Netflix documentary Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé is a must see, as she gives us a glimpse of all the hard work and sleepless nights it takes to be the Queen Bey. Beyond this two hour doc of fierceness , there is an album to accompany it... Homecoming: The Live Album. Give yourself a treat and dive into both! To a real, real one... let us continue to lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

This week’s #WCW goes out to the recently crowned NCAA 2019 National Championship winners at Baylor… as well as their fierce competitors at Notre Dame, and all the ladies in the NCAA. They have exemplified true athletic excellence, and been resilient in their passion for the sport despite being put down for playing a “man’s game.” These women have come together, working towards a common goal, and have kept the attendance alive. This year’s NCAA women’s basketball attendance is at the highest level in 15 years. I am truly in awe in each and every one of you! Let us lift them up in the light of goodness and hold them there.

Today’s #WCW is the amazing @marsaimartin. At only 14, she is the youngest person to get a first look deal with Universal or any major studio. And as if that wasn’t applaud worthy enough, she is also the youngest person to ever executive produce a studio film. Marsai is not just a star on the rise, she is a bonafide force to be reckoned with, showcasing her brilliant acting in Universal’s newest movie, Little (which hits theaters April 12). She has showed young girls everywhere that you are never too young to dream big! With award wins under her belt, and a series regular role on Black-ish, it is clear that even more massive things are yet to come. Thank you for being an inspiration and a role model to our younger generation. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Thank you @therealruthecarter for starting this challenge to finish out #WomensHistoryMonth in a fun way while showing the world anything is possible when women unite! So I stretched my hips and accepted this challenge of singing, dancing, and lip syncing to my favorite female empowerment song! We have all been through something in this life. We've all fallen and didn't want to get up. We've had our hearts broken. We've all experienced failures. All women share these common truths and we can ALL rise when we stick together and uplift each other. Let's keep this going and laugh and have fun along the way. I nominate @chrissyteigen@jessicaalba and @traceeellisross to keep this challenge going! 🎵 @therealmaryjblige #WomenDancingTogether #WomenDancingTogetherChallenge

This week's #WCW is the dynamic and gorgeous @tamronhall. She was one of the inspirations for Being Mary Jane and has championed me, my work and our shared journey to motherhood. Her new daytime talk show (which she executive produced and stars in) is both moving and fun, hitting all things topical that shape our world. Her outstanding work across the board has garnered her Emmy nominations, an Edward R. Murrow Award for her report on domestic abuse, and an ADAPT Leadership Award... just to name a few. I know she will be an incredible mother, and can't wait to continue watching this beautiful journey she is on. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold here there.

We survived a day without Instagram! And I will not let it deter us from celebrating amazing women... so this week’s day-late #WCW goes out to basketball superstar, @candaceparker. I first met Candace, a Chicago native, at a party and I fan-girled hard and told her I had watched her dominate at Tennessee under legendary coach Pat Summit… and we've been cracking jokes and playing spades ever since. Falling in love with the game of basketball after seeing older brother & former NBA Player Anthony Parker play, Candace worked hard to become one of the best players of all time. Watching her win the WNBA championship after the passing of Coach Summit was one of most heartbreaking and heartwarming moments in sports history. Being first overall pick in the 2008 WNBA Draft, a WNBA Champion, 5x WNBA All-Star, 2x WNBA MVP, 2x NCAA championship winner, and a 2x Gold Medalist are just a few of her outstanding accomplishments throughout her basketball career thus far. Parker is more than just a star on the court, she is also a major inspiration to all of those around her. Off the court, Candace is a mother of a 9 year old, broadcaster on the popular “Player’s Only” & an inspiration to women everywhere. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

This week's #WCW is grace personified, the incredible and stunning @iamjhud. From the first time I met her, she felt like someone I have known my whole life. She's always quick with a hug, and has a presence that can fill a room with joy. Her transition from singer to actress was seamless, only further proving her natural born talents. With Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Grammy's and more on her shelves, she still exudes generosity. She is a mother and a role model to many, and I hope to spend more time getting to know her. More big things to come! Can’t wait to watch her in Cats this year! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today's #WCW is @cynthiaerivo. Her talent is GIGANTIC! I will gleefully admit to going down the rabbit hole of her performances on YouTube and cheering and weeping at her brilliance. I 1st met her at the end of a long line for portraits at the Vanity Fair Oscar party and in the 1st few moments after introduction, we hugged like long lost family members. I truly SAW her in her fullness of spirit and she SAW me. It's a moment I will never forget and always cherish. Sometimes you meet your crushes and they are everything you need them to be and so much more. Cynthia is so much more. After earning a Tony for Best Leading Actress in "The Color Purple" Erivo wasn't stopping anytime soon. Known for her work in Step (2017), Widows (2018) and Bad Times at the El Royale (2018), Erivo has proven to tackle the transition from Broadway to the big screen flawlessly. Keep an eye out for Chaos Walking - her next feature film coming out March 2019. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

There are times I workout for a job or specific athletic goals but usually I workout to maintain my peace. Sometimes i grunt, grimace, scream...many times I've cried while training. I've cried due to frustration. I've cried from physical pain. Many times I've cried as my fears and anxiety leave my body. For me, I'm always working out my spirit and exercising my soul. This morning felt like the end of a week of taking Ls, but today I got up and reminded myself that even when I lose, I win because I'm committed to learning and evolving. To anyone struggling with things we can't control and even things we can... sending you love and light.

Today's #WCW is literally, a literary angel. #DrMayaAngelou has educated, inspired, entertained, and moved the masses. It has been almost 5 years since she passed and her work and her words will forever speak truth to power. Here are some of her quotes that have picked me up and straightened me out and put love and hope back in my heart. "I’ve learning that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” “Nothing will work unless you do.” “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” “Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” “When you learn, teach. When you get, love.” “Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.” “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." Let us continue to sing her praises and introduce new audiences to her genius. Let us all lift up her spirit in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today as we are working in the rain and I have the urge to complain and whine, I found strength and drive remembering Ms. Diana Ross performing under crazy circumstances and being the consummate legend that she continues to be. Which brings me to this week's #WCW, the one and only @DianaRoss whose career spans more than four iconic decades. Straight out of high school she was already shining bright as the lead vocalist for best charting girl group in US history, the Supremes. She is a 12-time Grammy nominee, recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, was Billboard’s Female Entertainer of the Century, winner of the YMA Awards of Excellence at Kennedy Center Honors… and that is just a fraction of her nominations and wins. Her performance at the Grammy awards this past weekend had the entire audience up on their feet in awe of her larger than life talent. Whenever I need to get a mood going, I throw on some of her music, and I feel fiercer than ever. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

This week’s #WCW is @staceyabrams, the first black woman in history to give the Democratic rebuttal at the State of the Union. Last night she delivered a stunning address that hit me to my core. While division and hypocrisy are prevalent, Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate shared themes of community, faith and family; highlighting the success we see when Americans come together. Abrams also touched on our recent government shutdown as a stunt by the President and urged Congress to consider a range of other issues including education, gun control, immigration reform, climate change, and voter suppression. With eloquence and dignity, your speech inspired many, Abrams. I hope you continue to pave a new way in Washington. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there. #STOU

Bout time I give my UCLA Bruins some love. This week’s #Wcw is Katelyn Ohashi (@katelyn_ohashi), a six-time All-American artistic gymnast! She is unstoppable on the floor and a force in her community. Unfortunately, instead of universal praise, Katelyn has also received some hurtful feedback regarding her body image in a field where young women are stereotypically petite. Katelyn responds to such comments by explaining how she understands her self-worth in a new way now, and hopes that other young women will do the same. As an eating disorder survivor, Katelyn stands now for loving her body, and sharing positivity and kindness to all. When she’s not competing in the gym, she spends her time studying, speaking, and encouraging others to love themselves. Keep up the good work, girl! You are sure to go far! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there #UCLA #Bruins #8Clap

This week's #WCW is the talented and trailblazing @yalitzaapariciomtz … who is soon to be a household name for her debut performance in Alfonso Cuarón's movie "Roma". New to the acting scene, Aparicio was quick to make history as the first indigenous Mexican woman to be nominated for an Oscar. More importantly, her role in "Roma" has sparked incredibly important conversation about the status of Mexico's indigenous people that she proudly represents. She is breaking stereotypes and showing the world that anyone can aspire to be in movies or on the cover of magazines. “People are knowing other faces of Mexico ― it’s something that makes me so happy and proud of my roots,” she explains. Her performance is haunting and layered. She is a star. Not a star in the making but a bonafide star! I can’t wait to follow her career and watch her shine! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today’s #WCW is the smooth operator you can’t help but move and groove to… Sade! This dynamic Nigerian born talent got her start as a model (no shock there with her traffic stopping beauty), and started making her mark as a performer in the 80s. The sound she created has influenced and been recognized by countless singers and artists, who often credit her as their inspiration (like Beyonce, Aaliyah, Kelly Rowland & more). Her home must be jam packed with all her awards like 4 Grammys, a Brit Award, an AMA Award and more… and in 2002 she was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire for services to music( a few years later was promoted to Commander of the same Order). Her music has often served as a soundtrack to my life and I cannot wait to continue to watch her shine. Let us life her up in the light of goodness and hold her there. Make sure to wish her a happy 60th birthday today!

Today's #WCW is @kikilayne. At the age of 7 Kiki proclaimed that she wanted to sing and act, and quickly enrolled in Theatre school. She continued her acting education, obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from the Theatre School at DePaul University and started booking jobs. This eventually lead to her breakout performance in If Beale St Could Talk, which has taken the world by storm. She commands our attention in every frame. She is THAT good. I had the pleasure of meeting her during my book tour in NYC and reminded her to be her own best advocate and to always speak up for yourself on set and in life and dont take no shit. Folks, she is the real deal and is here to stay. She already has two more movies completed for 2019, so keep an eye for them (Native Song & Captive State) Keep shining mama and know you are loved, supported and appreciated! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there!

Today’s #WCW is the legendary, extraordinary, iconic Ms. Patti! @mspattilabelle is not only a 14x Grammy nominee (2x winner), 6x Image award winner and 2x Emmy nom, but she is also Godmother/Mentor/Friend to so many. I remember a time during the Kentucky Derby that Ms Patti could see the pain and unhappiness written all over my face and pulled me to the side and reminded me what I deserved and that life is too short to settle for anything less than the love and life I desire. She told me being single and having peace is better than being lonely and sad in a bad relationship. She then launched into "On My Own" and sang it to me. Y’all I FELL OUT! That's who she is. She is a superstar in every way imaginable. Give her allllll her roses and standing ovations today and everyday. Let us continue lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there!

Incredibly talented and stunning, her star just gets bigger and bigger and we stan harder harder.

This week's #WCW is the legendary Cicely Tyson who celebrated her 94th Birthday just yesterday! Tyson is an actress, model, and all around dynamo whose acting career has spanned more than six decades. Born in Harlem, as the daughter of immigrant parents, Tyson was no stranger to hard work. Now, Tyson is the recipient of three Emmy Awards, four Black Reel Awards, one Screen Actor Guild Award, and one Tony Award. She was also recently was named the first African-American woman to ever receive an honorary Oscar. With plenty of room to boast, the performer displays consistent grace, dignity, class, and profound professionalism. Not one to be silenced, she is a proud activist, displaying uncompromising dedication. The roles she has tackled during her acting career have made her a trailblazer, paving the way for other African American women to portray strong, starring roles on screen. Tyson is a staple of the American film history and a champion for natural beauty being portrayed on film and television. Happy Birthday to the queen! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there!

@kaaviajames "My mama cannot sing. Why is she trying? I thought she was an actress. What's with the scully in 80 degree weather? And what happened to last nights wig? So many questions...lemme just try to maintain eye contact and be polite." (Kaav probably) #hamilton

Today's #WCW is @SZA. This talented force of light was introduced to me and @dwyanewade by @kingjames while we were in Cleveland and he got us all tickets to see her perform. She blew everyone away. I've poured over her lyrics time and time again when I needed some love, some healing, some understanding, or some fire. Her fans at the show were a delicious cross section of society…they were kind and loving to each other as well as to the artist they paid to see. SZA creates safe spaces to enjoy her music and to dance and sing along with the love she exudes. So to @sza and her fans, may we all lift you up in the light of goodness and hold you there. Thank you for being exactly who you are.

Every family is unique. How each family is created and comes together is special. Kaavia James Union Wade’s journey into our arms was long and at times brutal. There were heartbreaks that nearly broke us and streams of tears that turned into raging rivers. And then came Kaavia James. This is our birth journey. Thank you all for the love, support and understanding and all the people who held us up when we lost hope. Watch it with love. Watch it with hope. (Full video on my IGTV)

I wanted to start and end this Golden Globes tribute with the incomparable @iamreginaking who is nominated 2 times this year. Give her all her flowers today and everyday. What struck me about these very talented and deserving nominees is what they all represent to so many people. Each of them special and worthy. When I think about my favorite show on TV @poseonfx getting nominated, I feel seen. So many of my loved ones feel SEEN. Representation MATTERS. To my brothers and sisters on #Pose and in the LGBTQ community you are seen, you are loved and you are valued. As an ally it is my job to center your voices and amplify your work and to not remain silent in the face of ruthless and unwarranted attacks on your humanity. Lets us remember as we celebrate that real people are actually dying due to bigotry. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, sexism, toxic masculinity... these are not jokes. Lives continue to hang in the balance. Evolution is possible. I strongly encourage folks to look inward and acknowledge where we've all gone wrong and where we can do way better. Because we can all do more and we can all do better. Love and light

Cant stop, won't stop. 💋👶🏾@kaaviajames 💛❤💙💚🧡💜 Here's a guide for happily enjoying my posts of our family. Trust that she is surrounded by medical and child care specialists. Know she is safe and watched closely at all times. Trust that I won't post anything that puts my child in danger or opens me up to unsolicited online medical or parenting opinions 🤗 @kaaviajames is loved. She will be kissed. She will be loved on by the people that love her. She will be safe. If and when I have questions (as a new mom I have tons) I will not hesitate to ask my online community for help and suggestions. But yall have never known me to hold my tongue so trust that I will ask for help. Sometimes publicly and sometimes privately. Its OK that every parent does things differently to suit their child's needs. Every solution that works or worked for you may or may not work for me or my family or other folks. And that's absolutely OK. If someone does things differently or does not take your advise or that advise doesnt pan out the way it did for you, that is NO indication that you are wrong or a bad parent. We all figure out what works for us, our children and our families. We dont all have to match. It's ok to break from the norm and do what's healthiest and safest for your child. No one is in your house or your family but YOU. We dont all need to be clones of each other to be doing OK. The goal is for us all to have happy healthy families and that journey looks different for every family. Let's embrace that. Let's get comfortable with that. Someone doing something different than us does not make us bad people or bad parents. Breathe and enjoy. There will be no mommy shaming on this page. I rebuke mommy shaming. For those STILLLLL clinging onto your fears about Kaav's breathing and or whether my sweet kisses harmed my kid...feel free to swipe.

“Life is what happens when you are busy making plans." If this ain't the truth. When life doesn’t care about your perfectly planned out version of what you think your journey through this world is supposed to look like. Life belly laughed at my plan. Life did not care what people would say. Life had other things in store for me and our family. Figuring out how to let go of the idea of what motherhood should look and feel like, what a mother even is... that was a challenge. We share our story, our journey Saturday Dec 8th at 8pm on OWN with @Oprah

Today's #WCW is @kehlani. This Bay Area force of nature creates music that heals AND bops. She is an original that hasn’t lost her soul. Maybe it's because she reminds me of my homegirl @mrsmiawright (both rep Cali to the socks), or that she collabs with other great talent like my little cousin @saweetie… or maybe it’s watching her on her journey to motherhood that has me rooting so hard for her, but I really respect and like her. Seeing her smile literally changes the trajectory of my day. She is truly a light in dark times. Please let us all lift her and her family up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

On this night we decided to embrace faith that our lil miracle @kaaviajames would make it into our arms. We held onto each other in joy and peace and allowed ourselves to look forward to her arrival. @dwyanewade marked this moment with his 1st ever tattoo of her 1st name Kaavia James... Yes it took alot of whiskey and he and @ud40 & @3jmccollum smoked a few cigars with the @lining.official @wayofwade family and we celebrated. For lots of people/families who have been on their own unique fertility/family creation journey, hope can feel like a cruel joke that plays on repeat. You stop letting yourself get excited and you dont dare utter any updates. You carry it all. It can feel isolating and depressing. You wonder if you are defective. You are not. You wonder if you are worthy. You are. You feel you feel you feeeeeel. You are not alone. You are loved and worthy and every feeling is real and understood. On this night, we allowed ourselves to stop holding our breath out of fear. We still had 4 months to go. We had never been this close. #tbt

Cool Rider. I ❤ my job. I love that @kaaviajames is welcome & loved at #LAsFinest and I ❤ that we have a family friendly set and a production that embraces and supports mothers, pregnancy, breast feeding, maternity/paternity leave, actually having time to see your family, reasonable scheduling, and we manage to stay on budget and make our days and people actually like coming to work. This has never been the norm in any industry but that can change. It has to change. It's actually better for business. A word.

Today's #WCW is @missymisdemeanorelliott. Missy has over 300 award nominations - and hundreds of wins including 2AMAs, 6 BET Awards, 5 Grammy Awards, 7 MTV Music Video Awards, 2 Soul Train Lady Of Soul Awards, 1 Teen Choice Awards… but to me, she’s one of the most fun and cool people I know. Shes been the hostess with the most-ess in her Atlanta home when she knew I was homesick while on location. She even was kind enough to let me (a tipsy me) learn very tough choreography involving bosu balls at 2am. She’s my kinda woman, cool as shit. Good news for all of us, she’s back in the studio🎶🔥. Can’t wait to hear what magic is to come. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same. This book will change lives and encourage us to enjoy the freedom that being transparent and candid allows. Thank you Michelle Obama for leading from the front.

Today’s #wcw, @amandlasponsored, is a game changer. Not only is Amandla widely known for her acting career, like her roles in The Hunger Games + Everything, Everything (amongst many others), but she is now making a mark in her most recent film, The Hate U Give. This movie (which is an adaptation of Angie Thomas’ best selling novel) is culture shifting art that challenges audiences to examine race, gender, and state sanctioned violence. Amandla is a powerhouse on social media as well as in person- voicing her opinions and standing up against socially constructed norms. Although only 19, she is already a trailblazer in Hollywood and becoming a young leader of people. This girl is kind, intelligent, and honest. She is paving the way for the future and I cannot wait to watch her take over. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today's #WCW is @hollyrpeete. Holly is a gifted actress, singer, producer, wife, mother and advocate. We know her from her iconic roles in 21 Jump Street, Hanging With Mr Cooper, and her family’s reality show, but I'd say that the @hollyrodfdn is her most vital and important work. The HollyRod foundation is dedicated to providing compassionate care to those living with autism and Parkinson’s disease. I met Holly when I first got in the business and she was one of the first and only people willing to hip me to game. She took the time to make sure I wasn’t falling on my face in business and in life. Her friendship with Terri Ellis of En Vogue showed me that women can indeed have beautiful, nurturing and lasting friendships in the entertainment industry contrary to popular belief. Holly offers a lifeline, hope and solutions for so many families. Please let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there. Love you lady.

Todays #wcw, @iamreginaking, is a national treasure. She has won and so richly deserves alllllll of the awards and praise for her immense talent. She added director to her resume and she stays booked (I can confirm this cuz I've tried to book her countless times). This fun loving, down to earth mother of a great son (heyyyy Ian!) has literally been a lifeline for so many of us. She not only helps to create space for more creatives to shine, but she also will pull you to the side and give career saving advice. I will never forget our trip to Bermuda. Her and I went snorkeling and I got caught in a riptide and called for her to help. She immediately swam out and got me and brought me to shore. Not everyone actually lives what they preach. Regina King is a real queen and she believes and shows us everyday that she is not interested in being on the throne alone. She keeps pulling up seats for us all to wear our own crowns. I love u lady. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today's #WCW is @shondarhimes. Shonda is a Television producer, screenwriter, author and mother to three children….just to name a few. As the creator and executive producer of Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder and many more- Shonda was one of the only creatives to actually see marginalized talent as multidimensional beings. She gave us opportunities other creatives would not even think to attempt. She is the woman who once ran an entire night of television, and now expanded her reach and enormous talents to Netflix. She was once named one of TIME magazine's 100 People Who Help Shape the World. And if that wasn't enough, she published her first book, a memoir, Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun, and Be Your Own Person. So excited to be working alongside this powerhouse on American Son, which opens on Broadway this weekend!!! Can’t wait what to see what she creates next! Talk about an inspirational woman. Let us lift her up in the light of the goodness and hold her there.

Yes, she is the wife to a pretty cool dude but I think her most important role is helping the world to truly heal. I have literally been pulled out from under the bed by her words. Her fierce commitment to our collective healing & growth inspires us all & gives us practical pathways to living our best lives. She shows us what moving forward in grace, peace & love can actually look like. Thank you Jada for leading with such honesty & transparency. I value you, our friendship, & our journey to worthy. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

As parents who are raising black boys in Florida, a "Stand Your Ground" and "Open Carry" state, @dwyanewade and I know firsthand the fear, anxiety and frustration that goes hand in hand when so many demonize, weaponize and criminalize black and brown bodies. This wedding pic is right when the boys were preteens, and the reactions to them started to change from "oh how cute” to “clutch the pearls.” #AmericanSon effectively and beautifully details this experience and we are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with such a dynamic group of creatives, producers and investors to bring this powerful play to life. We are humbled. We are honored. We are ready. Thank you @kerrywashington for bringing us on board for this incredible journey. @americansonplay

Today’s #WCW is @octaviaspencer. This woman may be the kindest, most sincere woman in the industry. We first met on the set of “City of Angel's” and worked together again on "The Breakup Handbook.” From day 1 her sense of humor and sense of compassion were on full display. Watching her soar has truly been a blessing in my life and the lives of her fans. With each performance, she transforms and creates characters that we love, relate to and root for. Octavia also has been leading the fight for pay equality, and is producing + creating content to put her and her peers to work. She is a treasure, a friend and a steady source of inspiration. She truly is golden. Currently she is in post-production for: Family, Luce, The Voyage of Dr. Do Little (2019) and Ma (2019) and pre-production for: Are You Sleeping, Ascendant..... and all that is just for her acting. As a producer she has 3 films in the pipeline. Wow!!!! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Life is what happens when you are busy making plans. This is my nephew @official_tboogie and it's his senior year of high school. He has been playing cornerback & wide receiver since he was tiny. He is looking to get a scholarship to play cornerback. He has trained for years to hone his skills and traveled all summer to train & play against the best in the country. 3 weeks before the season his quarterback transferred and his coach asked him to be the starting quarterback for the 1st few games. This was NOT his plan. Oftentimes we are challenged to do what's best for the team as opposed to what's best for self. My nephew stepped up. Hes that kind of person. He adjusts and makes the best of every situation. Oh and he still had to play every down as a cornerback in 95 degree weather...because that's what was needed. He figured it OUT. This young man ended up with 189 yards on 11 carries and 4/9 passing...playing a position he hasnt played since the 4th grade. His team lost but he won. He won because he embraced change and literally ran with it. Me and @dwyanewade along with my entire family sat back in awe of what he accomplished under difficult, unfamiliar and uncomfortable conditions. We can all learn to embrace change and adapt when our grand plans change. We can all staying winning even when we lose. Thank you for this life lesson Torren Union. #sundaymotivation

Today’s #WCW was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine… which is the perfect title for the talented and change-making @constancewu She’s a leader in the Times Up movement, and is a fighter for inclusivity, highlighting the scarcity of Asian actors in starring roles. She is down to be real and tackle the issues that no one wants to talk about… But that NEED to be talked about. She currently can be seen on the big screen in #CrazyRichAsians, which released with high critical praise and opened at 35 mil and shines bright on the small screen in #FreshOffTheBoat Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today’s #WCW is the magnificent @JanetMock. She has always been kind, warm, and incredibly supportive… and from the time we met, she gives the most welcoming hugs. We've often found ourselves in spaces where we aren’t always seen, and in those times, we made sure to SEE and embrace each other. She is a New York Times Best Seller, and has moved the world with her activist work for the transgender community. She is currently a writer, producer, and director on my favorite show out right now, @Poseonfx (which just got picked up for season 2!), making her the first trans woman of color in history to be hired as a writer for a TV series. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there!

She is a triple threat as a singer, dancer and actress, and excels at each and every field. Her list of awards and accolades has its very own Wikipedia page because it is so long and robust. This queen has sold over a 100 Million records, making her one of the worlds best selling music artists. She is now a proud mama to her son Eissa. I am lucky to call her a friend.

Today’s #WCW was actually a WCW of mine years ago when she was just starting out, but wow has she grown into an unstoppable WOMAN. If you haven’t heard of her already, meet @ryandestiny. She’s a triple threat and someone I have believed in wholeheartedly. She is a perfect example of what belief and support in the next generation can do. We need to mentor our younger talent and not feel threatened. If we lift each other up and impart wisdom and knowledge, it doesn’t dim your shine, but rather feeds your soul. Ryan currently stars in Fox’s Star where she flexes her talents as a singer, dancer and actress. Remember this face because you will be seeing her everywhere folks. She is unstoppable.

Today’s #wcw is one of the original Broadway DIVAAAS, @valariepettiford. This triple threat has been performing and garnering awards since the 70’s, and changed the game with her performance in Fosse. One of the first roles that solidified her as a leading player was her starring performance as Anita in the West Side Story reunion tour in ’87. After making her mark on the broadway stage in West Side Story and Fosse (which got her a Tony nom), she went on to be the first American to star in Chicago on London’s West End alongside Chita Rivera. I met her on the set of Half & Half where she played @essence_says’s mom, and instantly, she was family. I found myself constantly going back to set to hang with her and hear more of her unbelievable stories. Her heart is so dope, and her talent is immense. She invited me to watch one of her “casual” cabaret performances in NYC, and it was a who’s who of legends. Her humbleness and grace is something we can all learn from, and I can’t wait for you all to see what we are working on next 🤗You can watch her in her latest TV Show, BBC’s A Discovery of Witches. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

In honor of #WorldRefugeeDay, today’s #WCW is the vivacious and unstoppable Iman. @the_real_iman is a Somalian exile who had to flee Somalia with her family as a result of a dangerous coup. “We left Somalia on foot, literally, from Somalia to Kenya,” she explained. We all know her as the world's first black supermodel, but there is so much more to this woman. She is the embodiment of brains and beauty combined! Her entrepreneurship and dedication to bringing health and education to her homeland is inspired. And she has been a pioneer and advocate in the ethnic-cosmetics market. She is the founder of Iman Cosmetics which focuses on difficult-to-find shades for women, created Iman Global Chic; her clothing line for women of all shapes and sizes, has written two books, and debuted a Home collection. As if she didn’t have enough on her plate, her philanthropy work has garnered awards and recognition. She is active with The Children’s Defense Fund, Action Against Hunger and the Raise Hope For Congo campaign, that aims to build a permanent and diverse constituency of activists who advocate for protection and empowerment of Congolese women and girls. She also works with the Dr. Hawa Abdi Foundation in her native Somalia, to help provide medical attention, clean water and other basic necessities for people in need. THIS is the abbreviated version of her work and accomplishments. Thank you for always being so kind to me, and for serving as a light to all! Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today’s #WCW is @BreshaWebb. This hilarious, gorgeous and ACTIVELY kind and compassionate actress and comedian is truly a gem. What makes her my WCW is how she practices the art of friendship. I've seen her generosity of spirit and fellowship on big and small stages, and it always leaves me inspired to be a better friend and woman. She is one of the stars of NBC's HIT show @nbcmarlon that returns tomorrow night at 9 & 9:30 for back to back episodes! Let's all tune in and support her and the talented cast! Please let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there. Thank you Bresha for leading and being a light that illuminates the darkest paths.

Love the swim you’re in! Swimsuit season can trigger a lot of insecurities... cellulite, ingrown hairs, scars, body diversity, ageism, you name it! But it's important to always embrace, own, and love every inch of yourself... imperfections and all! OWN what your mama gave ya! For every unretouched photo you share with #AerieREAL, @Aerie will donate $1 (up to $25K) to @NEDA . #AeriePartner

Today’s #WCW goes out to Kelly Marie Tran. While I don’t know her, I FEEL her. She was recently driven off of social media due to harassment and bullying. It pains me to see underrepresented women feeling abused and isolated, all while having to defend their own existence. As the first woman of color and Asian woman to play a lead in a Star Wars film, Tran’s breakout performance should have been a celebration. Thanks to racist, sexist internet bullies, things quickly shifted from one of elation to disappointment. To all of you out there who are marginalized, bullied, and feeling alone… I am here to tell you that you are LOVED and SUPPORTED. While there may be haters out there, know that there are still spaces to love, work and exist without negativity and abuse. We SEE you, we FEEL you, and we are HERE for you. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there!

Today's #WCW is @saintrecords. Solange is an extremely talented, beautiful artist, but more importantly, she is an extraordinary human being. She's consistently cool AND kind. She creates safe spaces by living out loud. I remember a time in the Hamptons when I was very much out of my element & Solange was Dj-ing and I found myself hiding out near her booth most of the day. She was armed with a hug and a smile and I felt seen, safe and welcomed. She does that, consistently, for me and so many others she hasn’t even met yet. Phenomenal woman, personified. Thank you Solange for being you and seeing us. Let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there.

Today’s #WCW is @ajionaalexus! In our hit movie @breakinginmovie she plays my daughter, and over the course of filming, she became family. This triple threat is obscenely talented. She can act, sing, and dance... and has been working nonstop since she was 13 yrs old. Next up for this dynamo is Season 2 of the smash Netflix hit @13reasonswhy. Sky is the limit for Ajiona. Love this young woman so much, please let us lift her up in the light of goodness and hold her there🙌🏾

Happy Mother's Day to my Mother-in-law, sister Kelly Union, my sisters-in-law, all my mommy friends, all my pregnant mommy crew, all aspiring moms, everyone whose has lost their mom, everyone with a rough relationship with their mom, to all sick moms, to moms that have lost children, all caregivers who love and care for children they did not birth and especially to those who have a really hard time with this holiday... I see you, I love you, breathe. Inhale joy, peace and grace and exhale everything that causes pain, heartache, misery. You all are loved & appreciated exactly as you are. Cheers to you today & everyday 🥂

This is my mom. Mom graduated from high school in the mid 60s & went straight to work. She met my dad & they began to take college courses at night after work & cleaned a daycare after classes for free childcare. My mom didnt graduate from college until 1983. She never gave up, she never stopped working. This is who raised me. She has never had enough resources but she's always made a way. When my parents got divorced after almost 30 yrs she didnt make it our business or talk to us about her "side", she made sure we loved and respected our dad. She prioritized our peace. At 60 my mom adopted 3 more kids...shes still going and shes still finding a way against all the odds. This incredible woman is my forever inspiration and I love you and celebrate you today and everyday. Love you Theresa Marie Glass Union. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 💜🧡💛💚💙

Today’s #WCW is Damita Byrd, senior Direct of Diversity and Inclusion at The Empowerment Network in my hometown of Omaha. The Empowerment Network has been pounding the pavement, working to transform the economic condition and quality of life for African‐Americans, North Omaha residents, and citizens of the Greater Omaha area by implementing Empowerment Plans. Damita’s work is helping to close long‐standing gaps in employment, entrepreneurship, education, housing, and other quality of life factors that have been traditionally based on race and geographic segregation. I want to make sure those you serve are dressed for success, so expect a package from me with my collection from @nyandcompany to keep the women looking their best!

I felt magical. Thank you @prabalgurung 💛... Here he explains his inspiration for my Met look... Like a ray of the sun refracting through a church mosaic, so often found in renaissance art, Gabrielle’s Atelier Prabal Gurung gown and Tasaki high jewellery brings us light, evoking hope and joy for a future anew. Bold in colour while embracing her femininity, our faith is restored when graced by Gabrielle. Taroni silk, imported from Italy—the birthplace of the renaissance and home to the Vatican whose flag inspired the vivid hue—is modernized with the signature graphic cutout racerback. Gabrielle wears the Atelier Prabal Gurung renaissance yellow Taroni double face duchess satin v-neck column gown with graphic racerback and removable hand draped cathedral train with satin covered button detail with the Tasaki high jewellery platinum and diamond ring, necklace, choker earring and hair corsage. #pgworld #beautywithsubstance #modernglamour #femininitywithabite #MetGala #MetHeavenlyBodies #ASeatAtTheTable #tasaki_intl
