Congratulations to Keith David! NAACP Image Awards

Being part of From Scratch has been a blessing from the beginning. To be in the presence of actors the caliber of Zoe Saldaña, Danielle Deadwyler, Judith Scott, and Eugenio Mastrandrea - it simply doesn't get better than this. And yet another blessing...the Locke sisters, Tembi and Attica - two wonderful writers in the same room! The star of the series is the story, and it starts on the page; we were fortunate enough to start w/something beautiful on👏🏿the👏🏿page👏🏿 To crown the blessing, you are helmed by a great director. Nzingha Stewart was just brilliant! Extraordinary! So to be acknowledged by the NAACP Image Awards for my work in From Scratch is all the more reason to thank my good God for His many blessings.

If you enjoyed the series and my performance in it, the 🔗 to vote is in the comments. Thank you for another opportunity to do what I love!🙏🏿
