an excuse to let loose.

Description

hi, i'm nuri. analog+digital girl, un-mainstream to the nth degree, budding creative, in the gap, audiophile, dreamer, atlanta native, ny transplant. this is a place where i let my fangirl flag fly a bit and decompress. a collection of the stuff i watch, read, listen to and soak in. which is too much to list here, so if you're nosy (and not lazy), click 'the details' below.

"Of course I had trepidations. Why do I have to play the mammy? But what do you do as an actor if one of the most multifaceted and rich roles you’ve ever been given is a maid in 1962 Mississippi? Do you not take the role because you feel like in some ways it’s not a good message to send to Black people? No. The message is the quality of the work. That is the greater message… As Black women, we’re always given these seemingly devastating experiences - experiences that could absolutely break us. But what the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls the butterfly. What we do as Black women is take the worst situations and create from that point."
