Thanks for this.
Have a story about the late Mother Winslow. Rest In Peace.
My cousin once drove her in a cab from MSG to Harlem somewhere. Said he couldn't believe how gracious she was, telling him stories about old Black theater community in NYC. She gave him a life changing tip, also. And a glossy picture, autograph.
Now, he was a straight immigrant at the time, so he didn't really know who she was. Said she was a beautiful older actress.
We told/showed him that it was Mother Winslow.
To this day, you can't say anything bad about Family Matters or anybody on that show in front of him.
*Never had the heart to tell him that despite " LeNoire" being her last name, that she was not Haitian. or Guad. or from Martinique. hehehehe
======================
Thanks again for the heads up about the Haitian set production of Macbeth.
(tweet has pictures of Pearl Bailey mixed with LeNoire)

‘Insecure’ Alums Jean Elie and Mike Gauyo Score ‘Send Help’ Series at AMC’s Allblk
Courtesy of Allblk
Allblk, AMC Networks’ streamer for Black content, has greenlit “Send Help,” a coming-of-age dark comedy created by “Insecure” recurring star Jean Elie and writer and story editor Mike Gauyo.
“Send Help” will follow Fritz (Elie), a young first generation Haitian American struggling to overcome the challenges of “making it” in Hollywood, while coming to terms with a recent family tragedy. He relocates to L.A. from Brockton, Mass., all while trying to be the new man of the family and exploring the Southern California dating scene. Throughout the series, Fritz fights to conquer his feelings of imposter syndrome, the Hollywood community and his family issues. Rather than address his shortcomings head on, he chooses to deny and avoid the issues that everyone else can see.
In “Insecure,” Elie played Issa’s (Issa Rae) younger brother Ahmal. He has also appeared in episodes of “The Eric Andre Show” and “American Crime.” Most recently, he played Reggie in the Netflix limited series “Colin in Black & White” and Taz in Carey Williams’ film “R#J.”
Gauyo was a writer and story editor on “Insecure’s” fifth season. He has also written for Netflix’s “Ginny and Georgia” and the webseries “BSU: Black Student Union.”
The seven-episode first season of “Send Help” will be directed by Stewart Yost. Matt Hoklotubbe, Michael J. McGarry and Francesca Smith will produce in association with Whistle Studios. Allblk general manager Brett Dismuke and senior vice president of development and production Nikki Love executive produce for the streamer. Production is set to begin early next year with the series slated for premiere in the fall.
“‘Send Help’ is a love letter to my family and others living with tragedy,” said Elie. “It’s also a shoutout to first generation Americans daring to step into creative fields despite being discouraged by their immigrant families. I hope young people will see what’s possible when you step out of your own way and defy society’s limits.”
“This is a series about Haitian people just existing,” said Gauyo. “Not as caricatures or stereotypes, but as fully formed, normalized human beings sharing the same space as everyone else, while sharing unique experiences that feel universal. I’m incredibly proud of this series and can’t wait to see it on air.”

Ok, thanks
The new series speaks about an interesting topic. Immigrant kids heading towards the arts, when parents are trying to steer you towards a more stable profession. Garcelle Beauvais(Fancy) addressed this on DL Hughley show recently.
Mentioned before that Clef is from an accomplished group of siblings, and people wrote him off as a vagabon for pursuing music and not going to college.
This show could be interesting, if done right.

Mike Gauyo is my cousin. His grandfather and my grandfather are brothers. As kids our parents use to send us from Boston to Kenscoff, Haiti every summer. Good times. Proud to see his Hollywood dreams come to fruition.

Congrats to your cousin. Looking forward to the series even more now.
Now, from what you recall, how much backlash did he get by pursuing a non traditional career path?
A lot. He went to Cambridge Rindge & Latin School. Which is a really good school. So they expected him to become a Engineer or Lawyer.
But that pales in comparison to the family backlash he received when he came out as gay. Till this day his pops refuses to communicate with him at all. It’s sad man.

Our families migrate because we have such limited opportunities back home, so I get the backlash towards children with potential not pursuing the professions. Don't agree, but 100% understand.
Not surprised one bit by the second part of the story.
