#Message ‼️🗣 “How about we stop playing NOT TO LOSE, & start playing TO WIN?!" ~Swagger Today @appletvplus launched its FIRST & ONLY ALL BLACK original series‼️ ✊🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👊🏽 I am SO proud to have worked for the entire season of this show! Not only is it SUPER Black, but it was filmed in my #hometown 🥰🥰 #RVA stand up! ✊🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👊🏽 @Netflix has several all Black shows. @Hulu has ONE, with the AMAZING Wu-Tang series. @AmazonPrimeVideo has…🧐🤔well, I can’t think of any all Black original series on that streaming service🤨 (putting y’all on notice😒). But this is Apple’s first!! ✊🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👊🏽 Through one of the most tumultuous times in our history & every hiccup that can arise during production, this cast & crew rose to the occasion, pushed thru and created something historical. ✊🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👊🏽 With @rockthefilm at the helm, fresh new Black American talent was given a chance to shine in front of AND behind the🎥, which RARELY happens in this scary a$$ industry🙄. One of those talents…was me🎭🎬🙏🏽💛 #gratitude This innovative show-runner/creator requested "no straight hairstyles" even for the BG actors! He wanted as much raw, authentic, NATURAL BLACK beautiful aesthetic as possible!! I got my LIFE watching @shinelleazoroh come out of HMU w/a poppin new natural lewk consistently!🔥😍👍🏽 ✊🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👊🏽 If you’re gonna binge something this weekend, make it THIS show! It’s not enough to just support Black businesses, support Black MEDIA too!! Then maybe we won’t be able to count on one hand the number of Black shows streaming at any given moment🙄😑 ✊🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👊🏽 I’m SO proud of the family that came together to make this happen! And I’m beyond grateful to @EricaArvold & Reggie Rock Bythewood for believing in me enough to allow me to book my first official #coStar in my HOMETOWN, in the middle of a pandemic!! What are the chances?!!😆🙌🏽#AnythingisPossible #Swagger #Play2Win #RepresentationMatters #ADOSactors #ZakiyaRoberts #appletvplus #2ndTeam but #FirstTeam too!😜 #warmingjackets #horrorhill #handwarmers #2ndteamTheater #iRise #lettttsROLLPLEASE #onthestrength #checkingthegate REAL LIFE #setlife

Where are you being lazy in your life?? I listen to ET every morning, he gets me UP and into the gym and into whatever my task is for the day! When I feel like I wanna be lazy, just the sound of his VOICE gets me off the couch! Find you a mentor that lights a fire underneath you! We ALL need a push from time to time!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 @etthehiphoppreacher

A little over 4 years ago, I decided that I would quit my "survival job" and commit to following my dreams FULL TIME and RECORD THE JOURNEY!! I said I didn’t care if I had to sleep in my car, on someone’s couch, or start getting food stamps! I MEANT I was going to keep working at being an #actor until I could live off of creative work ONLY! It was a rough road with lots of bumps...and to be honest I’m still on it! But I’ve never been more proud of myself for COMMITTING to following my dreams! Check out aIl 9 eps on YT!

Apparently this is the first time that we’ve held down all 3 crowns....well it SHAN’T be the last!💅🏿👑💫👑💋👑 #BlackGirlMagic #Queendom #Sisterhood 👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾

One of my FAVORITE episodes of the classic BET show "Hell Date"! "SINGS-A-LOT" Even though I’m totally NOT a singer...I got to pretend like singing was my LIFE!😂😂😂 Lord, bless this young man’s heart! He dealt with a lot that day!😂😂😂😂

It's my own version of #WCW ! There are just too many amazingly talented women in the world, who don't get enough shine...especially in my industry! Shout out to my sis @tiffanyBlacknes , a ridiculously gifted actor who "wowed" me in ONE scene alongside Loretta Devine! She was so DROPPED IN, she had me talking about her for a month straight!! Usually the best acting doesn't LOOK like acting at all!! She makes it look eeeassssy! I'm a fan sis! #beastmode #TiffanyBlack #BlackFemaleActors #SceneStealers #AngryBlackWoman #stereotypes #perspectiveshift #BreakdownLive #KiyaRoberts Check out her

Kiya takes to the streets of her favorite borough to ask New Yorkers to start some sh@$! with everyone from MTA to Donald Trump‼️ New Yorkers are THEEEEE BEST😂😫👊🏿

Question: DO ALL MEN CHEAT?!! I’m serious, I want to know. Are there men who have NEVER been in a relationship and stepped out even a “little bit”?? 🤔🤨🧐 COMMENT ON THIS TOPIC PUH-LEASE‼️

Kiya and Vince tryna get it poppington! 😳😍🤣Buuuttttt, serious question: what are people REALLY thinking about when it goes down? Is it allllllll sexy thoughts? OR are we worrying about what the other person is thinking or doing?!🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣😂🤦🏾‍♀️ #thePressure COMMENT‼️

Kiya and Cedric the Entertainer are a great comedic pair in this #50CentralBet sketch! Starring also 50 Cent & Tristen J. Winger!
