“Be” 

(Acoustic Performance)

It’s been so long

Meet me at the station

We can take a taxi home 

Maybe

It’s time for conversation

Catch up on some things

I don’t know

You say we’ve done it all

The flame went out

The spark is gone 

But what if you’re wrong?

It’s been so long since you’ve seen me

How can you know how you really feel?

If we run out of things to say

I promise I won’t make you feel bad

We’ll just roll the windows down

We’ll drive around this town

And be

Be

Will you sleep tonight

Or will you lie awake like me?

Pillow to pillow

Back to back

Pulling the sheets and all that

Waiting for our eyes to meet

Wake me when you wake up

Miss me when we break up

Kiss me when we make up

I know it’s not the same but

Don’t wanna say we gave

Please don’t give the game up

‘Cause if you don’t know what to say 

I promise I won’t make you feel bad

‘Cause you’re not the only one

Who’s scared to say you’re in love

If we run out of things to say

I promise I won’t make you feel bad

We’ll just roll the windows down

We’ll drive around this town

And be

So, when the right words won’t come out

As the city lights pass us by

Let the silence be the only sound

And I’ll hear everything I need to hear…

We’ve been through it all

And if you don’t know what to say

I promise I won’t make you feel bad

We’ll just roll the windows down

Drive around this town 

And be

Be…

Hollywood is a business. And I don’t fault it for that. It’s a business about money and advertising, and we don’t translate in the foreign market. And a lot of people want to indict Hollywood for that, but I don’t think it’s just an indictment on Hollywood; it may be more of an indictment on people who go to the theatre to put their money down – to see what? You see a film with a predominantly black cast and you don’t see it as inclusive, but you see a film with a predominantly white cast and it is. Why?

I want to be a pioneer; I want to take on the responsibility and the weight of something bigger than myself, which is more diverse storylines, especially for African-American actresses. But I can only do what I do. I certainly can’t change Hollywood’s complete perception of black actresses – I need help.

My sister’s graduation

Receiving the Pickering fellowship that gives me the future I always dreamed about. Sharing that moment with close friends and family that has seen me work tirelessly to achieve my goals was priceless

The Kennedy center rooftop. I felt like I was yours and you were mine

Arriving in China #dreamcometrue

Sleeping in your arms for the first time
