What you do in your slow season is often what determines your success. The time spent sharpening your axe is actually more important than the time spent chopping down the tree.

The African American urge to ask “Who all over there?” when you know it doesn’t matter because you’re not going to the party anyway. 🥱 #alreadyinbed #africanamericanurge

Yeah... I pulled up with @klovethepoet and @awthentikpoetry to the virtual poetry set... we just kinda had to rep our city real quick. We love everybody though. Thanks @MsIngridB for hosting...

Shout out to @NBCChicagoPD and the #onechicago family for all of the safety precautions in place around COVID. They are really protecting us actors, cast and crew during the pandemic! #actor #actorslife #chicagopd #success #goals #backtowork #TheTotalGent

Up early today for a series of COVID tests. I’M TOTALLY FINE! I’m finally getting back to TV work, and we have to take several tests before going on set to film. #actor #actorslife #COVID19 #SafetyFirst #Quarantine #TheTotalGent

I haven’t been that active on Twitter. I need to be... I guess. What are the pros and cons? Please help me understand.

Time is more valuable than money.

I haven’t really been active in here. I do more on FB and IG. I need to get my Twitter game up.

So you’re watching a movie (most movies)... and everything is going horribly wrong. The bad guys are winning. The hero is injured. It looks like there is no hope at all. Suddenly, things turn around! It gets better. The hero is injured but not dead. You’re the hero! Get up!

Life can be short... give it your maximum effort.

The clerk at Sam’e Club said “Have a ‘blessed day.’” As she handed me back my change. I naturally said “Under His eye.” without thinking. Lol #HandmaidsTale

Another speaking engagement in the books. Speaking to kids does more for me than corporate gigs. These aren’t about the money, they are about the future #speaker #author #motivation #inspiration #noexcuses #goforit #youcandoit

Life is what you make it...

The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking as when we created them...
