I will forever remember my professor in graduate school, at Johns Hopkins University, a Black woman, telling me that I better get into the practice of tooting my own horn because no one else is going to do it for me. Wisdom.

Don’t be mad at me, but this You People feels less like a movie, more like a series of vignettes. That feel like a bunch of pop culture references and awkward stereotypical bits played to spark conversation.

There are so many people creating “success” with low quality storytelling. This is your reminder to ignore “imposter syndrome.” Create the art you want out in the world. Don’t fear imperfection, you don’t know how much time you have left. Just make it and share it with the world.
