Tonight is gonna be hard. But join me as I watch the premiere of the final season of #PartsUnknown. Me & Tony went to Kenya. We spent time in Nairobi & on safari at Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. Watch w/ me as I livetweet. Let's celebrate him & his amazing life's work. #UnitedShades
I'll be livetweeting #PartsUnknown w/ me & Tony here. If you have any thoughts or questions I'll try to respond. It's a stunning episode. #UnitedShades #ShadesUnknown
Producer @diamondmofallon told me that part of the reason that the #LGBT segment was included in the show was because we cover those issues in #UnitedShades. #PartsUnknown #ShadesUnknown
This gym was simple and amazing. Analo Anjere doesn't charge the boxers to train and he started @Boxgirlskenya to train women. Check them out here. boxgirlskenya.com #PartsUnknown #UnitedShades #ShadesUnknown
You're welcome. #PartsUnknown #UnitedShades #ShadesUnknown #ChewingGoatEyeball
In a weird bit of awesomeness, the safari was planned by @NextSafari that happens to be run by my friends in Berkeley. They hooked us up w/ @lewa_wildlife. nextadventure.com #PartsUnknown #UnitedShades #ShadesUnknown
I did it for Kenya. I did it for the Massai. I did it for Tony. Thank you!#PartsUnknown #UnitedShades #ShadesUnknown
The #UnitedShades crew watched tonight's #PartsUnknown. We have always been inspired by Tony & his crew. Tonight was no different. I know Tony would never have invited me w/o the work of the people pictured (& many others not pictured) to make #UnitedShades what it is. Thank you!
Maasai.

As a kid I heard, "Think Global. Act local." The older I get the more I think of that. So while the news overwhelms us everyday w/ massive problems, I've begun to focus on smaller things I can help. & @DonorsChoose helps me support my local teachers. donorschoose.org/kamau?active=t…
A few months ago, @DonorsChoose noticed me tweeting out their projects & gave me a spot on their National Advisory Council. & now that's it #BackToSchool time they made me a page w/ my local schools in the East Bay whose teachers need support. Here it is! donorschoose.org/kamau?active=t…
There are over $200,00 worth of needs on @DonorsChoose among Oakand, Berkeley, Richmond, Richmond, & El Cerrito. That's a lot, but the East Bay is birthplace & home to some heavy hitters. I'm hoping some of you can help by spreading the word &/or donating. donorschoose.org/kamau?active=t…

I find giving school kids the supplies they need to succeed is the perfect antidote for the awful news. Try it yourself.

These kids need $182 for pens, paper, pencils... YOU KNOW THE STUFF ALL STUDENTS NEED AND DESERVE!!! donorschoose.org/project/suppli…
You all knocked that one out quick! Here's another @DonorsChoose. Kids. Need. Books. donorschoose.org/project/bringi…
That was quick! Anybody got any parts of $170 to help these kids get BASIC SCHOOL SUPPLIES??? donorschoose.org/project/supply…

This is about to begin... again. #UnitedShades
That white guy next to me works on #UnitedShades. Tommy is THE BEST!!!!
This book was over 30 years overdue from the Mobile public library. (I'm sorry.) Once I knew I had had it out more than 10 years, I dreamed of returning it - & filming it. Dreams come true. I felt compelled to give a donation. Most expensive book I don't own. 🤣🤣🤣#UnitedShades

This is the official #UnitedShades Sikhs in America thread. Respond here if you want to make sure I see your tweet. #SikhsOnTV
I love the opening of this show. It makes a bigger point overall about America and "religious freedom". #UnitedShades
SOOOOO MANY MISPRONUNCIATIONS IN THIS SIKH 101 SEGEMENT!!!

To my Sikh sisters & brothers, I'm sorry. Thanks to @Angadgsingh, these will be fixed for the re-airings. #UnitedShades

As a Black man who was kicked out of a coffee shop in 2015 (not Starbucks but The Elmwood Cafe in Berkeley, CA) I have some thoughts. When I was kicked out, I was nervous they might call the cops. But they didn't. Probably because I was with my wife & her white skin. 1/
(If you don't know the story of my getting kicked out of The Elmwood Cafe in Berkeley California, I told the story on @ThisAmerLife a couple months later. You can listen here.) But here I sit 3 years later & NOTHING has changed... 1/2 thisamericanlife.org/557/birds-bees…
After it happened, me, the owner & some activists had a community meeting. The owner promised to end implicit bias in his cafe, the stores on his block, the neighborhood, the city then I guess the galaxy. Here's the website he built for it laying fallow. implicitbiastraining.com

The Simpsons, 1989 - 2018 #RIP 😢
I think the fact that they put this "argument" in the mouth of Lisa's character, the character who usually champions the underdogs and is supposed to be the most thoughtful and liberal, is what makes this the most ridiculous (as in worthy of ridicule) and toothless response.
My friend @harikondabolu made a beautiful & powerful film. It took guts to do it. He knew he was going after a sacred cow. (Pun intended.) He knew many people would just watch the trailer or see the poster or just hear the title & immediately just hate on it & him.
