I have a show about a 13-ft tall Black man who lives in Oakland. It’s called I’m A Virgo. Jharrel Jerome is playing the lead. I’m doing this w Michael Ellenberg’s Media Res. We haven’t figured out the network/streamer. It’ll be dark, absurd, hilarious, and important. (This amazing artwork is by @folklaurel)
