I was left thirsty after this film... Monk is a frustrated novelist who's fed up with the establishment that profits from Black entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. The film tackles important issues of: 1. High achievement and social mobility 2. Family trauma, gender roles & aging parents 3. Authenticity and the burden of authentic living. Earning a wage and navigating a society that requires a bright mind to confirm to damaging stereotypes. I fully appreciate the popularity of the film. BUT I was left curious and disappointed by the ending. Here are my takeaways: 1. He conceded to the stereotypes by giving the studio the violent ending they required. Therefore playing into their hands. 2. I was unclear how he remedied conceding to the studios demand for flat lining the black experience 3. What's the takeaway message for aspirational black folks who battle with the same issues. Should we concede? #americanfiction #jeffreywright #cordjefferson I took away a few messages unhelpful messages. 1. Concede 2. Give them what they want 3. Get paid. And what was the symbolic.meaning of the man in the straw hat?

A true treasure, in so many areas! What a terrific reminder of the breadth of work of Dr. Angelou, and the deep, important impact of Black dance and culture! "In celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re throwing back to Blacks, Blues, Black! This 10-part TV series was produced by Dr. Maya Angelou for KQED in 1968 and explored how African American culture influenced modern American society." https://lnkd.in/gQ38xfpT
Literary legend Dr. Maya Angelou was also a TV producer. In fact, she was a true multi-hyphenate. Essayist Poet Memoirist Producer Actor World Renowned Dancer She was also the first Black woman to have a screenplay (Georgia, Georgia) produced as a film in 1972. She was nominated for an Emmy award for her performance in Roots in 1977. And in 1979, Angelou helped adapt her book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, for a television movie of the same name. Back in 1968, she traced popular American dances back to their African roots in a 10-part series she produced for KQED. The African influence was abundant in movement, tonality, and joy. Because Black joy is also mainstream. TV and film are easy ways to illustrate the ubiquity, because Black joy is abundant. "In this clip, dancers from Duncan & Company, a San Francisco-based Black performing arts company from the late ‘50s through the ‘60s, show how three American popular dance moves were inspired by African dances." — KQED Links in comments.

💙 this short video explaining empathy! I use it in my workshops all the time to teach what empathy misses are. The eyeroll gets me every time! 😂
I can’t believe it’s been ten years since we first met that damn “Wanna sandwich?” empathy-fail deer!

I have been a big Brené Brown fan for many years. Her messages really help me grow personally and professionally - and her messages give me the insights, language and tools to work through “my stuff”. Still more work to do - but growth is growth! The empathy video she is celebrating below has been something I have shared many times in my life. When I was diagnosed the second time with breast cancer, I put a link to the video in one of my posts on my medical blog. At that time, my wife and I were reeling from the news (again) and we had a hard time answering the inevitable “let me know what I can do to help” or the “at least….” statements that continually rolled in. (“At least they caught it early”, “at least it hasn’t spread”, “at least you have a supportive spouse”, “at least Quinn is older this time around - I can’t imagine how you did this when he was a toddler”.) This post is not meant to shame anyone - we have a loving community that has supported us through cancer more than once and they did an amazing job - me and my family are grateful! I truly believe people are doing the best that they can. I am still doing my work to stop myself from being the “wanna sandwich” person with those that I know and love. (Side note: My wife and I say “wanna sandwich” to each other when we have an empathy fail moment or we witness those types of statements from others. In the moment it makes us mindful and it provides a moment of laughter - which is nice, especially in hard times.) My goal of this post is to recognize the gift of life changing messages like this that help give us the words at a time when we can’t come up with them on our own. Empathy is hard to do and sitting with someone while they are hurting and not “fixing it” or “at leasting it” is extremely hard for many - including me. This short video on empathy has the power to educate many and helps us all do the best that we can for those that we know and love. 💜 #empathy #empathyfail #brenebrown #doingthebestwecan

Positive leaders show sympathy. Eeeh - wrong. Sympathy drives disconnect, as words alone don’t fix problems. Positive leaders live empathy. Eeeh - rather wrong. Strong empathy wears you out at work. Spare this for your loved ones at home! Instead, positive leaders should lead with compassion. It’s like Brené’s hugging bear helping depressed foxy climbing up the ladder, back to sunlight without leaving any words. Positive leaders engage with empathy. Actions count. Words just sound.
