HAPPY JUNETEENTH!

I’m so grateful to stand amongst this multi-generational gathering of some of my fellow Animation Industry Colleagues as we recreated the legendary A GREAT DAY IN HARLEM photograph (1958). Look for me in the red shoes! https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/great-day-in-harlem-black-animation-nickelodeon-paramount-1235294723/

BLACK-N-ANIMATED PODCAST INTERVIEW

Hi

It’s been ages 😉

Want to share an interview I did with the fabulous team at Black-N-Animated. It explores my career in animation as an editor, producer, and director. Bre and Way are so easy to chat with, and our conversation touches on the past, present, and future of POC in the animation space. I hope you enjoy…

READING IN A DIVERSE SOCIETY

A friend sent me this article about one woman’s challenge to spend a year reading non-white authors. It is worthy of your time and consideration.

A Forgotten Life part one the Domino Effect

This is a wonderful 3 part piece about losing memory. It beautifully weaves a fictionalized story with facts about dementia and Alzheimers. Fabulous. So happy to share it with you.

PSSST: THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS IS IN YOUR HANDS

Positive-Thinking

I am reposting this article from Positive Writer which is worthy of your time and consideration. It lays out the importance of being healthy in Mind, Body, and Spirit to achieve the success you want with your writing (and your life for that matter), and is appropriately titled, THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT DETERMINE YOUR WRITING SUCCESS.

This is the journey I’ve been on for the past 7 years and I can attest to how it has strengthened my connection to The Muse.

Enjoy and Happy writing!

I love this blog post.

5 Ways to Give off Positive Energy

YOU control your energy. Whether it be positive or negative, your energy affects everyone you come in contact with.
