. @ava& #39;s heart is in the right place. She cares deeply. Her life& #39;s work is about creating spaces and stories for Black people & POC to be seen with depth and complexity. I adore her fierceness & tenderness. She& #39;s a woman, trying her best to share her art & activism...

I understand the rage against that horrible man. His presence in the highest office of our country is truly a tragedy, with real impact-- people have literally died because of his negligence. I wish those people, those souls, were still on this Earth. He did that.

I& #39;ve been seeing a bunch of mean-spirited, and downright hateful tweets toward Ava. Her words definitely have power, influence. But she& #39;s a person, and it& #39;s gotta hurt reading those things. One definitely has to has to develop a thick skin to move confidently in this industry...

I appreciate Ava& #39;s light, and hard work, and her passion to keep going and empowering others. Speaking up, sharing your truth, isn& #39;t always an easy thing. And it& #39;s human nature to stumble at times.

I& #39;m not sure how to end this thread, but @ava keep being you. You art & activism matters. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎥" title="Filmkamera" aria-label="Emoji: Filmkamera">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💙" title="Blaues Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Blaues Herz">
