The Apollo Theater, last night.

To stand a few feet from Gloria Steinem and perform a poem for a packed Apollo Theater – last night was one of those moments I needed to pinch myself. What an incredible launch event for UN Women‘s#Beijing20.

a magical night in Brooklyn

What an honor to finally perform at BAM in BK.

I’ve rocked the The Apollo, Joe’s Pub, Town Hall on Broadway, the Nuyorican…but this stage might be the most beautiful of them all.

Best BBQ in the world

A lifetime of searching…and I found it: Franklin BBQ in Austin, TX.

I arrived just before 7am and was the first person in line.  I only had to wait a little over 4 hours for the best BBQ of my life.

Worth. Every. Second.
