When they say you gotta lotta nerve. Respond: plenty. Running through my body, like #wildfire . 👽🍁🍂🍁🍂 📷 @jcsomerville #impromptu #fall #bk #heartofthematter #freestyle #facts

Fire will attract more attention than any other cry for help. #basquiat #fuego #tbt

I’ll be your mirror Reflect what you are ✨ Instinct—>flow—>magic making with 📸 @shotbymcmanus @tashinyc 💋 Laughing with these talents was my favorite part but this was alright too! #mutable #geminiseason #summeroflove #mirrormirror

I had the opportunity to watch @jesposito ’s electric directorial debut #FreshKills at @hamptonsfilm 🙌🏽 The amount of art, craft, empathy, power and style was explosive. I’m still replaying scenes throughout my day. It’s so rare to see a talent do it all with such humor, grace, grit, beauty and conviction. Your work is a salve in an industry that is well versed in devaluing women’s stories and voices. Thank you for the devotion to your vision and uplifting and supporting future storytellers. You deserve all the love and props coming to you as the film flourishes on the festival scene to a global release. More #womenfilmmakers please 👏🏽🙏🏽 #hamptons #filmisalive #womeninfilm #newyorkstateofmind #newyorkers

Love language speak with my angel @tobyfromtheblock . I’m feeling the warm blanket of hard earned #peace this month. Grateful for the strength and inspiration to move forward. Guided and open to receive. 🙏🏽🤍 #wellnesswednesday #seniordogs #showmelove #september #massage #peaceful #godbless

Healing doesn’t ask you to be something else but it requires you to see who you really are. 🌊 ✌🏽🤍 #venusdirect

So let me get this straight. I’m just trying to understand where we’re all at right now —- Millions of people flew to threads to be more connected to each other all the while what this means is that we are all just more disconnected while giving meta a corporate wedding day/feast with sprinkles on top WHILE our skies are being polluted (possibly purposefully) by the very billionaires you never fail to express you hate. And we are graciously handing over even more of our privacy [rights]. Help me understand.

My love is so good. My blood flows with possibility, tenderness. I am grass and gravel. I am rich. I have to remind myself of this when they want to peel back my skin and question my worth. When the arms of men who aim to ambush our dreams come around sniffing to grab all that they envy and cannot be. They want me to diminish from within. After hard days, I used to look into my dog’s eyes and he’d dissolve all the fists I have to hold. He knew me as pure softness and summer rain. When people don’t understand my grief, they don’t know that our little soulmates had the only lens to our complete souls. Masks off. They buffered the cruelty in men’s eyes. They gave us strength to put our hearts on the line. These days I’m strengthened by these memories. I remember what’s inside me reaches the beyond. And what’s inside us can burn their houses down. ✌🏽⚔️

That’s a wrap on #geminiseason 💫🥂🪬💃🏽💎 Inner excavations + parasympathetic mastery with a side of toast ✅ Thank you to the universal forces and sentient beings who showed me love, reflections, grace and the will to breathe. Happy #summersolstice ☀️

Toby lesson #1 : Real ones heal you. They calm your nervous system. They are beautifully flawed and commit to their expansion. They mirror love. #geminiseason #whileyouweresleeping #peacedog #soulmates

NYC was reppin’ hard at @latinotheaterco in #FlacoNavaja’s solo show #EvolutionofaSonero . I’ve been watching Flaco from Def Poetry Jam to the Nuyorican Poets Cafe to film. His consummate passion for PR/NY culture and music vibrated high through song (s/o to the musicians The Razor Blades) and storytelling filled with humor and dignity. Props x 3 for a solid show 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 closes May 28 so gooo gooo gooo! 🇵🇷 #openingnight #losangelesart #theater #soloshow #realones

Over the course of the past decade as streaming quickly became popular and more convenient to distribute, it was at the expense of living wages, no residuals and plain old lack of respect for the creative minds that help make #Hollywood a global powerhouse. Writers are the foundation of this business. They create the alchemy of our experiences. To think AI can produce equal (or better) work is fundamentally obliterating the value of human imagination. This is a pivotal moment for us union workers to unite and step out of the tired tales that were created for us to remain silent and compliant to labor injustice. I stand in solidarity with #wga as a #sag actor but most of all, I stand with those who are discovering their worth in the middle of very challenging times. S/O to @socialrosy @deadline for her commitment to supporting artists of color and for always showing up with humor and passion. My heart was full bumping into some favorite humans at #Paramount . Thank you to the @wgawest captains for your persistence and hard work. ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 #wgastrong #sagaftra #wgastrike
