Movie of the day: La noire de : Black Girl 1966 Director: Ousmane Sembene

I never heard of this film, was snooping around Netflix and Bumped into this one
A must see!!!! I felt her passion to want a better life for herself>> to see the world in a new place> Tragic it was to watch the end> Working for a selfish family> that needed hired help> kept her in a prison state of mind>>>

Support & Love

I received this email from my old roommate that was an actress on set with me the other day>>

Givethanks for the Love




Miyako!
I hope my words find you well. Firstly, it was great bumping
into you on the Broadstreet project recently. It's amazing how
small NYC is and how fast time flies. :-) I had a blast on the
Broadstreet project and hope you did, as well. It's great to
see that they've hired a "sister" and you were definitely doing
your thing!!! congratulations and keep up the good work!
If there is an opportunity for us to reconnect, I look forward to
it. So, take care and enjoy the journey.

Peace -

"Breathe Life Live Beauty"

A moment in time,

My daily ritual giving morning praise to the father above for guiding me in the right direction, Thanking him for all his wondrous works he does in my life. The beautiful ray of a Monday sun, shines on my face as I dress for the day. Kit ready I head out the door. Music in my mind cause my ipod earphones are M.I.A. I don't let that bother me as the birds sing my playlist> I move forward and look ahead to only meet a figure of a mother caressing her child giving her Love as she heads for school, I pass and feel the love as the woman dressed in African garb, looks back at me with a look of proud, I felt a flash back of another time as the little girl yell's back I Love You Mommy, I smile with joy as I know time will come for me to be a mother and I will embrace it and cherish it as she did>>> Love>>


My work day was long, but a blessed one. I prep my area, took a bite and started work. A woman taps me and says is that you?>> one of my roomies I had when I first started this craft years ago. She said wow you are still at it, She was very proud of me>>> Love> Give Thanks

12 hours later> after my shoot> Thinking> will I make it thru the night> Movements were in play to attend the Fela event. I am to tired to even think about it> I head towards the train> Looking ahead & in the sky as I always do and see 2 Monks, I thought how beautiful and peaceful they look> not even a second passes from thought someone asks can I help you> THE MONKS> I just mentally greeted take my heavy kit and walk me to the train, as his fellow brother takes photos.... so strange( I have a photo with A Monk and a Monk took the photo That is a blessed Photo>> LOL To say all that Love, Love , Love Is all around >>>

If you Ask You Shall Receive>>>>>>
