#IAmWriting about the Public Theater’s 2023 production of “Hamlet in the Park.” I attended the *2-hour and 45 minutes* performance with @jervette.bsky.social! The production was highly anticipated after the racial reckoning of 2020, but did it live up to the hype? Stay tuned to see! #Dissertation

I was just in a Harlem bookstore & 2 ⚪️ women told me to attend their Women’s March
—I politely & firmly said no, that they got it & that Black women have done our part & we support them
—I added that they could focus on their ⚪️ women doing more
—Huffily, one said, “we all need to do more”
No.😑
