What an honor to have been included on the Native Son 101 List Class of 2024 for my contributions to the Black gay/queer community, my profession, and the world. It’s nice to be seen, heard, and respected especially by so many of my peers and contemporaries. Illustration @adrianarmstrongart  @nativesonnow #NativeSon101

The family that votes together….. @kingcyru5 first time voting and @gradynyc_ first vote for President. Big moves for these two. Vote early and use your voice. #vote #fightthepower

Spent the weekend celebrating Homecoming at Michigan State University. Go Spartans! I graduated in 1992 & have never returned for Homecoming. If I would have known it was going to be as amazing as it was, I would have made the journey much sooner. Met up with a former professor who I also served as teacher’s assistant (TA) to who informed me that Gretchen Whitmer was our student. Toured the campus and East Lansing with Tim as we basked in the perfect fall weather. Tailgated with old friends, met new friends and watched the Spartans kick some butt. So happy to be back, celebrate old times and new and live like a kid again. Green & White never felt so right. #michiganstateuniversity #gospartans

Happy National Sons Day. To be your Dad @why_so_cyriouss makes my heart melt. You fill the room with your spirit & keep everyone on their toes. I can’t wait to see what you do in this world. Make wise choices, dig deep and never forget who you are. I love you more than you can ever imagine. Love, Dad ❤️

Happy National Daughter’s Day to @gradynyc_ You are the most special young lady in the world and you mean everything to me. You are the joy in my life (along with Papi & Cyrus). What an honor to be your Dad. I love you more than ice cream and cake. Love, Dad ❤️❤️

Help me wish my BFF @emilwilbekin a very happy birthday. I do not use that term BFF lightly. Emil and I have had the pleasure of being best friends for nearly 30 years. We’ve seen the good, bad and ugly but always remain tight and committed to our friendship. What a blessing to have someone so dear in your life. Have the best day ever friend. You deserve everything your heart desires. Love you ❤️❤️

55 & ALIVE!! As a child, in and out of foster care, I’m so happy to be able to have made it to the other side. Life has been a journey filled with both good and bad times, all of which I’m grateful for. I’m so thankful to have the support of friends & family who love me without question. I look forward to another year of growth & plenty of joy. Happy Birthday, kiddo. You’ve done well ❤️

Happy 20th Birthday, Grady. No longer a kid or teenager but a whole 20 year old. Every day since becoming your Dad has been better because of you. You’re the OG and have been such a blessing in our lives. You are all of the things this world needs to be better. Enjoy your day and know that you are loved and very special. Love, Dad ❤️

Who would’ve thought? What a wonderful ride it’s been living, loving and learning with you. We grew up, raised a family and even some hell along the way. No one else I’d rather do this with than you @timmy2ty Love Love Love ❤️
