So...I’ve been SO nervous to share this, but a friend at this past weekend’s #mastHERclass encouraged me to do it. So here‘s a snippet! You can watch the full version via the link in my bio.
This project is SO close to my heart. It took a lot of blood, sweat, tears and love to make it happen. It's my baby. It encapsulates everything I want to gift to the world as far as creating films and content. The purpose of everything I do is to affirm, heal, and uplift black women and girls, empowering them to become their best selves and live their best lives! This journey, just like anything else in life, has not been without its challenges.
A FEW things went wrong while filming, lol - the camera battery died TWICE, I had to change memory cards TWICE, then the audio recorder's battery died. Some of the footage I originally shot didn't fit with my vision nor what I wanted the piece to be, so I reshot it. Therefore, 99% of the b-roll (footage where the subject isn't speaking) was shot with my iPhone.
@Dean_Diaries, thank you SO much for your generosity, transparency, grace, patience and willingness to sit with me and tell me your story. I do not take it lightly when someone opens their heart and life to my exploration, mind, heart, and camera. Here's the beginning of my journey to create with all that is in my heart, soul, and being. I hope you all enjoy it and I thank you SO much for watching. Love ya! 🎬💖🎥💫
Here’s my Top 9 for 2018, and all I have to say is that I am beyond blessed, grateful, humbled, loved, and motivated. This year, so many dreams have come true, from traveling for filmmaking, visiting my favorite place - the beach - multiple times, going to LA for work and play, having my first complete short film accepted and screened at festivals, working on several major, dope projects, and receiving funding to support my creative vision. This year was everything that I could have dreamed of, and 2019 is going to be even better! I laid my foundation, and planted my seeds, so now it’s time for them to flourish, blossom, and bloom. I’m coming for my blessings, breakthroughs, and victories all year long! And to get ready for this overflow, I’m taking a hiatus from the digital world so I can return full of energy, joy and wisdom to execute my vision. I thank God for who I am created to be and what is being done through me. My Creator, our creator, is so so good! Happy New Year to you all! May love, peace, hope, and joy abound! 💖💫🙏🏾
