Wrote a review of Ella Mai’s latest album for @mic . Link in bio.

“At its core, Heart on My Sleeve is a wonderful, carefully curated collection of beautiful R&B songs that play around with proclamations of love and make leaps of faith in a time when people are less secure than ever…Weighed down by current sequencing, however, the purity of Mai’s sentiments gets overshadowed by the directionless bloat, allowing listeners to let the melodies blend into each other and relegate the lyrics to the background.”

The 29th New York African Film Festival kicks off

The 29th New York African Film Festival kicks off this week under the banner Visions of Freedom: tuning into diverse and interconnected notions of freedom pertinent to Africa, the diaspora, and the world at large. This year’s festival presents programs that recall activisms past and usher in new anthems of the future to embrace a united front for liberation and expression.

The festival takes place with Film at Lincoln Center (FLC) from Thursday, May 12 to Tuesday, May 17. From FLC, the festival will continue at Maysles Cinema in Harlem from Thursday, May 19 to Sunday, May 22, and will conclude at Brooklyn Academy of Music’s (BAM) Rose Cinemas from Friday, May 27 to Thursday, June 2, in conjunction with the annual DanceAfrica celebration. It all kicks off with a Town Hall at Lincoln Center’s David Rubenstein Atrium on Wednesday, May 11 at 7:30 p.m., featuring African and diaspora artists displaying and discussing work that explores the festival’s theme. There will also be a master class with legendary Ethiopian filmmaker, Haile Gerima.

I will have the distinct honor of hosting a Q&A with Jean-Pascal Zadi about his film, Tout Simplement Noir, or Simply Black, on Saturday, May 14, in Lincoln Center after a screening.
