A Black Twitter Date

My latest film, A Black Twitter Date, premiered on Monday! Blavity, this super awesome company, reached out to me with the opportunity, and I couldn’t resist.

Two days later, it’s already hit over 700,000 views! When I first announced it on twitter I definitely wasn’t expecting it to receive so much love!

I directed #BlackTwitterDate for @Blavity with @Richie_l0c0 & @KhadiDon!

It also got featured on Fortune Magazine.

I want to give a big shoutout to Morgan Debaun, founder of Blavity, for her words on the film, and working with me as well.

I want to tell you all a bit more about the #BlackTwitterDate video @Blavity produced
