Mod Post: Hiatus.

Hi, followers. Just a note on the recent radio silence. 

Things have been noticeably quiet around here. The reason? Basically, life. When I started FYKW, it was at a time when I had much more free time to devote to it. AKA, I was younger. And now, despite the fact that I'd love to continue on that way forever, that's not the way it goes. It takes a good chunk of time to keep anything updated and current, and with all of KW's recent projects and appearances, I couldn't keep up at the beginning of the year while also focusing on the real world priorities in my personal life and career. So, I took a break. 

I'm indecisive about where to go from here; some days I want to make this pause permanent and others I want to figure out how to keep posting in a new way that works for me. 

...all while realizing that I'm talking about a tumblr dedicated to a celebrity that I run anonymously as a hobby, lol. 

And though perspective matters, I also know why I created FYKW in the first place and while it might seem a bit frivolous and silly to most, this is my contribution to the celebration of pop culture, fandom, entertainment and a talented, amazing black woman (minus the gossip, tea and nonsense). I see the engagement with the blog and at the end of the day, I didn't want to just leave followers hanging and disappear into oblivion.

So, as of right now, I'm not sure what lies ahead. I'll let you know when I know! Until then, hiatus continues. That post last week of audio from SXSW was because I loved it and couldn't help posting more validation of all the reasons I admire Kerry so much. Definitely listen if you haven't yet! 

Thanks to those who sent messages wondering where I was and if I was ok! I'm fine, just off adulting. 

No matter what I decide to do, FYKW's past posts and tags page will stay live. 

(And no, I'm not interested in handing it over to anyone. 😊 )

I ran into Ellen at an event in New York before we started our first season of Scandal, and Ellen pulled me aside and said, ‘I want you to think like an athlete.’ I was like, 'What do you mean?' She talked to me for hours (about) the rigour of it. You need to eat like an athlete. You need to sleep like an athlete. You need to take care of your body. This is an instrument. I have to be in tune (like a piano) to do this — because if I’m sick, it’s an insurance day. That’s the physical part of it. And the emotional, psychological thing is to look at these stories we get to tell.

A one-on-one discussion with Emmy and Golden Globe nominated actor, producer, philanthropist, and role model Kerry Washington about the new rules of modern personal branding. Kerry will be chatting with InStyle's Editorial Director Ariel Foxman about how she has successfully harnessed the power of social media to promote not only her career and hit TV Show, Scandal, but also positivity and social good. How has social media impacted traditional media's representation of diversity and beauty? How does one remain in dialogue with fans, yet maintain privacy? What lessons has she learned about filtering reactions on social media and staying confident and true to her voice?
