We talk about manifesting things into existence and how our dreams are valid. Twitter asked us to stop talking and “Tweet it into Existence”!
A “@Twitter” and “@TwitterMusic” thread recently highlighted celebrities who had tweeted their dreams in the past as a reminder that those dreams have now become reality. We compiled some of our favourites.
Issa Rae; Actress, Writer and Producer
