"Folks MUST realize that artists x activists who have been telling, stitching, painting and inspiring Black narratives for generations are the vanguards of SUSTAINABILITY! Faith Ringgold not only created pathways for Black women in the art world… the beauty of her artistic expression opened portals to share our realities, resistance and reimagining! I know she’s a mixed media artist… but it was always the QUILTING for me - quilting is one of the most important Black sustainable fashion traditions that AIN’T celebrated enough in the discourse! SO MUCH LOVE FOR OUR BLACK WOMEN SUSTAINABILITY MATRIARCHS🖤 " - via 👑

Check out an exclusive clip from FOUND on YouTube and be sure to catch tonight's episode "Missing While Addicted" on NBC at 10pm EST.
What are your thoughts on FOUND so far? We think the premise is so important to our community. In any given year, more than 600,000 people are reported missing in the U.S. More than half that number are people of color that the country seems to forget about.
In FOUND, Public relations specialist Gabi Mosely (series star and producer Shanola Hampton) — who was once herself one of those forgotten ones — and her crisis management team now make sure there is always someone looking out for the forgotten missing people. But unbeknownst to anyone, this everyday hero is hiding a chilling secret of her own.
The cast includes , Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Kelli Williams, Brett Dalton, Gabrielle Walsh, Arlen Escarpeta and Karan Oberoi.

The Tyler Perry documentary, Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story was announced yesterday. It will be helmed by directors Gelila Bekele and Armani Ortiz. The film will be available to stream on Prime Video beginning November 17 in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. -
Details: A nod to the love from his mother, this film presents a poignant and personal portrayal of the visionary and innovator, Tyler Perry. It showcases his challenging yet faithful journey to the pinnacle of an industry that once overlooked him. Over the course of nearly a decade, with unrestricted access, directors Gelila Bekele and Armani Ortiz take us into the inner world of a man whose story remains untold, as he assumes the roles of both a father and a media mogul, driven by the mission to carve his own path to success. The result is a profound reminder to never forget one's roots in order to decipher the desired destination.

Trigger warning: #BlackPanther Director #RyanCoogler recently experienced a scary situation with Atlanta Police officers while trying to withdrawal money from his bank account. In January, Coogler wrote a note on the back of his withdrawal slip asking a bank teller for $12,000 of his own money. The note asked her to count discreetly, given the amount. The teller notified her manager that Coogler was attempting to rob the bank and the police were called. When the police arrived, the situation intensified when guns were drawn and Coogler was handcuffed. After verifying Coogler’s identity and his account with the bank, he was released. via @theqgentleman 📹 @EPerryTV / @Fox5Atlanta
