We. Are. Native Son! This movement of Black gay men is my divine purpose and fills my spirit with pure #BlackBoyJoy Last night 20 of us went to see the critically acclaimed Off-Broadway play #AintNoMo @publictheaterny created by our brilliant Brother @jordanecooper and produced by Hollywood maverick @theoriginalbigdaddy Celebrating this masterpiece on the same day @octarell_again received four @thetonyawards nominations for #ChoirBoy made the experience even more magical. And @therealgeorgefaison and @theebillyporter were in the house so it was historic. I’m grateful to bring us together and elevate our presence and visibility in this world! #Purpose #Live #Love #Serve #WorldOfWilbekin #WOW #NativeSon (at The Public Theater) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw7J8PCJy1S/?igshid=fqig2fd30b4w
I love when people use their platform to make a powerful statement for the marginalized and disenfranchised. @octarell_again so eloquently did this last night @thetonyawards as he introduced his critically acclaimed #Broadway play #ChoirBoy He spoke out about the importance of Black queer bodies who often “uphold the great legacy of spirituals” but aren’t always loved or affirmed. From @moonlightmov to Choir Boy, thank you Tarell for reminding the world that our narratives matter, that our contributions matter, that we matter! #BlackExcellence #Freedom #Pride #WorldofWilbekin #WOW #NativeSon https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjlRHagv5s/?igshid=ulm7pjo0tgem
