Thank you to all of our "Willow" Supporters!

Let's take the time out for gratitude: Thanks to our supporters' contributions over the last three years, we were able to produce "Willow: State of Emergency,” which premiered at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, won the Best Short Film Award at Chicago's Black Film Fest, and screened on Juneteenth weekend at the Black-Owned Stuart Cinema Theater.

That continued support also enabled us to develop a TV series “Willow: House of Griots” that expands upon the film, and to host a stage reading of episodes 1-4 at Here Performing Arts Center.

And now, as we're fundraising to produce the one-hour pilot episode of "House of Griots," I can't help but feel incredibly grateful.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. This has been a tremendous journey, and I'm ecstatic to not only be at the helm of a talented and dedicated production team, but to also be a part of a community of supporters of the work itself.

If you'd like to join our community of supporters, follow the link in the photo, or just come to our inaugural Afrofuturist Vampire Dance Party, Dec 8th, 8:30pm at First Live (219 Central Ave., BK).

More announcements coming soon!

Today is the release day! Please follow the link in my bio to Seven Kitchens Press where you can order a copy of my new chapbook, Angels & Adultery, selected by Nickole Brown for the Robin Becker Series. It's a thrill and an honor to have had this manuscript selected by a judge whose work moves me the way hers does. I hope you enjoy the poems. . . . #poetry #chapbook #poems #publiahing #books #bookstagram #sevenkitchenspress #robinbecker #lgbtq #comingout #tellingourstories #gay #queer

don't ask someone if they're telling the truth. a liar will just keep lying and an honest person will be offended

“Harmonia Rosales @honeiee, Afro-Cuban, Artist Who Painted God As A Black Person, Faces Severe Backlash For Her Art! She painted Michelangelo’s work in 2017 reimagining God and the First Man as Black women. As the painting was made public, she faced a lot of backlash for her work....according to Face2Face Africa "I wanted to take a significant painting, a widely recognized painting that subconsciously or consciously conditions us to see white male figures as powerful and authoritative and flip the script, establish a counter-narrative.” She continued, “White figures are a staple in classic art featured in major museums. They are the “masters” of the masterpieces. Why should that continue?” “When you consider that all human life came out of Africa, the Garden of Eden and all, then it only makes sense to paint God as a black woman, sparking life in her own image,” she added.” Report by GED #dismantlewhitesupremacy #disruptthepatriarchy #artactivist #antiracist #racialjustice #socialjustice #indigenouspeople #tellingourstories #blackisbeautiful #originalpeople #dominicanslovehaitiansmovement #afrolibre #afrolatina #afrocuban #afroartist #loveconsciousness #face2face https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4ByhFlT7M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ruu3g5sswozl

Shoutouts to Brandon Kazen-Maddox, Katina White, Adrienne Gravish Brown, Maleni Chaitoo, and Yakira Dorera Tikvah for their support promoting and handling our business brand at the booth while I interview people for a documentary film and coordinate my round table panel discussion! It's unfortunate that I was not able to attend at least one workshop. 😫 A sister gotta handle her business. I'm also very pleased we broke even and gained some, after conference/booth expenses, etc! Shoutouts to those who have supported my work! You know who you are. #nbda2017 #tellingourstories #resistthroughoureyes #blackdeafculturalcapital #documentary #series #filmmaker #producer
