Spending the week locked away in Selma writing a new TV show where two young black men discover a body that leads them down a rabbit hole of history through Jim Crow, lynching and slavery til they end with a present day truth that makes them advocates for reparations.
Soaking in the town, the history, and mostly reconnecting back to an important time of my life when I lived in Alabama for 7 years. #Blessed.
