In a genre like horror, where issues of race, gender, sexuality, and class have always been part of the framing of the horror—what is the line between Black trauma and Black horror? How much of our history are we allowed to put into these stories, and how do we communicate our different boundaries to each other without trying to harm or judge?

Firstly, I want to say thank you to everyone who liked, viewed and commented on my Gilmore Girls video. I can’t believe how many views it’s gotten (over 20,000 as of the last time I checked), which is shocking to say the least. With that, I wanted to reach out to you guys and let you know what I’m working on and ask what you want me to talk about.
I’m going to go through the next five video scripts I’m working on and I’d ask you to comment and tell me which ones you’d like me to do next and add any other suggestions that you might have.
Thank You so much and I will have a video up tomorrow: RAPE & REDEMPTION ON ONCE UPON A TIME.
