"Pack for 2 months but you may be sent home in 2 days." That was what I was told when I got asked to audition for I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT in London.Little did I know when I did get the part, was what this film would become to so many. When I read the script, I was pulled in by this incredible tale of love and honesty. And then I met the ladies that the film was truly about and they became instant family. And then I met the incomparable Lisa Ray. 'The rest is history.'We made this movie before gay marriage was legal, before brown was cool, and way before 'being yourself' was lauded. There was no fancy budget or intimacy coordinators. In fact, one of the investors was as slimy and as corrupt as they come. This piece of garbage not only harassed many of us, he also deliberately didn’t pay our hotel room bill so one night after a long shoot day, we came home to find ourselves locked out and our stuff removed. I even had to sneak out of London in the middle of night to catch a flight back to the US that I booked on my own as this same investor didn’t want me to leave...this same person 'lost' our sound so we had to dub THE WHOLE MOVIE. I could go on and on about the challenges with this film. But what prevailed was our spirit and passion.Many international awards and over 100 million views and countless fan videos later…this film is celebrated as one of the most iconic films featuring LGBTQ+ themes and characters in a way never seen before. Before it was hip to do so.Happy Pride, friends. Keep doing you, no matter what the world is telling you.We love and see you. 🌈😘 ... See MoreSee Less

YES! Making Happy is all about finding pockets of happiness."A beautifully rendered story about courage in the face of turmoil."“Exploring the complexities that children grapple with when faced with illness in the family, this picture book is ultimately about finding little pockets of happiness.

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of spending a week with the Everett community. I visited seven different schools and met with kids of all ages, from pre-k to high school. The community I witnessed in teachers and parents and the families was heartening and inspiring. Regardless of what you might see in the news, families really do want to come together to do right by our children. Especially when you have leaders like Priya Tahiliani. She is the first woman of color to lead Everett. She encourages students to use their voices and stand up for what they believe in. She is by far one of the most impressive leaders in education I have ever met and I feel better knowing she is part of our kids' futures. No wonder the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents recognized her for her excellence. More of this please.and since I will never stop saying it, #GunReformNow. Don't ask our teachers to do something even our police won't. ... See MoreSee Less

***COVER REVEAL!!***I am so honored that The Conscious Kid is hosting our cover reveal for MAKING HAPPY, my new book out this September. This book is my most personal to date and I am equally excited and terrified to put it into the world. Working with my amazing editor at Barefoot Books and the insanely talented Khoa Le for the last couple years has been a dream and now we share it with you. I hope you'll pre-order it and share with your family and friends. 🙏🏽❤️ #mentalhealth #fuckcancerHere is part of my author's note:This book is a love letter to anyone struggling. I wrote this book when I was looking for a little happy for me and my family. Our children have more to deal with than ever and need to know that it's ok to have big feelings - to be sad, scared, and angry. We expect our kids to be resilient and strong, yet we don't talk about how. Mental health should be at the forefront of what we teach our kids. I hope this book allows for conversations that are as honest and raw as we each need. And ultimately that it leaves you with a little hope, a little peace, and a whole lot of love.Summary:When Leila's mother gets sick, lots of things change for her family, but one important thing stays the same--they still have each other, and they know how to find joy and laughter when they need it most.The book will be released September 20 wherever books are sold.Pre-order here:www.barefootbooks.com/making-happy?utm_source=ConsciousKid&utm_medium=OrganicSocial&utm_campaign=... ...
