Rest in Peace, Etta James. Your body may be gone but your legacy lives on in the hearts and souls of many generations to come.

New Chapters
Because my nerves are made up of neurons instead of steel, I find it (at times) unsettling to embark on new paths, journeys and/or chapters in life. I’m human if you weren’t aware. The uncertainty of what’s next can make life painfully exciting (or excitingly painful). I’ve recently begun a new chapter in my life that has been in the making for a few months at this point....
Middle of Nowhere
1001 congratulations to director, Ava DuVernay for premiering at Sundance this year. I’ve been waiting some time to see a trailer for “Middle of Nowhere” and I must say it was well worth the wait. ”Middle of Nowhere” is an untold depiction of what many women in urban neighborhoods go through/have gone through when in a relationship with incarcerated men. The life of...

Meet The Artists ‘12: Ava Duvernay
Please take the time to familiarize yourself if you haven’t already. Ava Duvernay is a filmmaker whom I had the pleasure of meeting last year. A friend of mine asked me to film the premiere of the movie, “I Will Follow.” He clearly stated that there was no budget to pay me, but it would be an amazing opportunity to meet the director. Because...

Red Tails
This amalgamation of vets and new talent will make for an amazing piece of cinematography. Not to take away anything or say that the original “Tuskegee Airmen” movie didn’t do a stand up job years back, I’m glad that we’re in an age where we have more advanced technology to further tell the story and go more in-depth, with more explosive effects. I LOVE effects!
