Thank you NYC! @theebonycanal was experienced in one of the most iconic theaters in New York City, the @ifccenter and the energy in that room was nothing short of powerful.

Gratitude to @levelforward for curating such an intentional and impactful Movies & Movements event in honor of Black Maternal Health Week. The panel featured industry icons,
@AndreaAmbam
@Lady_whitehead
@_iiritu_
@ReginaDavisMoss that followed was filled with truth, insight, and a shared commitment to pushing this conversation forward.

A special salute to @aftershockdoc‘s @Tonyalewislee and the many icons, advocates, and leaders like @pizelt
@itsseanc @catmac29 @iamksealsallers who showed up, poured in, and reminded us why this work matters. Be a vessel.

Join us for "Building Maternal Futures," a celebration of reproductive justice and motherhood with law professor and author Khiara M. Bridges, doctor and author Mary Fariba Afsari, and Pregnancy Justice President Lourdes A. Rivera.

30 years ago some very brave people listened to V (formerly Eve Ensler) talk about vaginas in a basement. They thought they would be arrested, or worse. At that time, however, women had more bodily autonomy than they do today.

From the basement to the biggest stages, it’s time to celebrate and reclaim all things vagina - including every person who came into the world through one.

Level Forward and Roundabout Theater Company are collaborating to bring this festival of funny, poignant, and personal stories to life, presenting THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES for a 30th Anniversary run next year. Under the direction of the incomparable Noma Dumezweni, we will celebrate in the loudest, largest, boldest way.

We can’t wait to enter the womb with you! ❤️‍🔥

GIRL, INTERRUPTED begins performances on May 13 at @publictheaterny, and Level Forward is so very psyched to support this work - obsessed actually - alongside the inspiring @eonproductionsltd and @smugglersite 💜

If you haven’t read the book by Susanna Kaysen, or seen the film with Angelnia Jolie’s Oscar-winning shock-to-the-system performance, now’s the time to lock in.

Led by a dream creative team - @martyna_majok so excited to repeat with you, @realaimeemann, @sonyatayeh, and Jo Bonney - let the obsession begin again, or get ready for your first dose. Huge congratulations to a cast for the record books, including @julianakdc (a great time to re-watch The Assistant) and the inimitable @kingprincess69 ✨

Tickets. Now. Link. Bio.

DECIDIDAS was pure magic! From the incredible conversations to the moments of laughter and reflection, it reminded us of the power of coming together as a community. We celebrated bold ideas, shared visions for change, and connected with people who are making a difference every single day.

Being in space together makes us even more excited for what comes next. This is just the beginning. 💙

#LevelForward #DECIDIDAS

“What is it you are searching for?”

Mexico City — you are easily one of my favorite places to travel. For work. For play. For becoming.

Edgy. Raw. Elegant. Ancient. Sexy. Cool.
And yes — the food scene is 💥💥💥.

To @somosdecididas — what an honor to stand with you this week. 🇲🇽✊🏽

To the women I didn’t know who waited to hug me as I walked off that stage — wow. 🥹
I see you. Your tears. Your courage.
As I remind myself on the regular: keep going.

To Adrienne at @levelforward — thank you for saying YES ✨ and producing something beautiful in just two days.

To my sisters in soul, humanity, and joy — @mslatoshabrown and @dominiquecrenn — our journey is only just beginning. 💜

THIS is the journalism…
The storytelling…
The humanity-connecting work…
I want to be part of.
