I am still so full from hearing @amandascgorman's poem yesterday. I was reading about Ms. Gorman and I learned that @oprah gave both Ms. Gorman and #MayaAngelou gifts ahead of their appearances at their respective inaugurations, earrings and a birdcage ring for Ms. Gorman and a Chanel coat and gloves for Ms. Angelou. Hearing this legacy of generosity from @oprah made me want to revisit On the Pulse of Morning, the poem Maya Angelou wrote for Bill Clinton’s inauguration, a poem I haven’t read since I was a little girl. I am stunned by the timelessness and prophecy of Maya Angelou’s words.
I feel these two poems are some of the greatest treasures of our, as Ms. Gorman said, “unfinished” America. I believe we must learn these words by heart, pull them in deep until we hear our souls recite them without our brains prompting, remembering with God-fearing humility that we are doomed to repeat what we dare to forget.
I am going to spend this year memorizing these poems, and I hope you will join me.
Congratulations again, Amanda Gorman, for electrifying the souls and helping heal the hearts of a nation’s people that so badly need it, my own included.

Brilliant, @amandascgorman.
I can’t stop thinking about how proud your mother must be...✨

I’m not ugly crying, you’re ugly crying.
Go @kamalaharris, go!!!!

I am so grateful for these powerful words by @MichelleObama this #MLKDay.
God bless you and your family, Dr. King.

I’d thought we’d seen enough of me this week...but then this shot was made with love by people I love. Hope you find some joy this weekend xx

It feels strange to be promoting a movie - a comedy no less - during such unprecedented times...please know I am reeling from the events of the last week just as you are. Just like you, I am trying to process what happened on top trying to find some kind of firm emotional footing in the quicksand of this pandemic...
Interestingly, one theme Chiwetel and I kept coming back to while making our film Locked Down was how it is about two lost and messy humans finding the steel needed to fight for joy in their lives, even in the madness of the current moment. I think we all feel a bit of that right now...
So that said, I hope my posting this is seen in the light of the age-old tradition that “the show must go on.” I also hope this film offers some relief by making you laugh and feel less alone during a time of so much pain and loss. 
#LockedDownFilm begins streaming on @HBOMax #Jan14.
