Did you know in 2019, The City of Los Angeles officially declared May 21st John Singleton Day?! John Singleton became the youngest and first Black film director nominated for an Academy Award for his movie classic, Boyz n the Hood. Here we are in between takes on the set of #Shaft starring Samuel L. Jackson. John and Sam welcomed me with open arms and always made me feel right at home on my first major studio set! John and I shared a birthday a few weeks apart and although we lost him a few years ago, his legacy lives on! I miss, salute, honour and thank you Sir Singleton! Today and all days!
