  • (Pt. 2) Of my interview w/ @BigSean from the @fordfoundation @menofcourage__ event which reiterates how #woke he is... On a side note, when I asked who were some of the courageous people in his life that helped to make him the man he his today, he responded with one of my favorite quotes from the article (link in bio) “…When someone would tell me something that wasn’t aligned with my future it felt wrong, so I’m thankful for that…” . .. ... .... ..... ...... ....... ........ ......... #MenOfCourage #ColinKaepernick #BecauseOfThemWeCan #BlackHistory #ChanceTheRapper #Journalist #GoodMusic #KanyeWest #Moderator @SeanAndersonOrg @YourRightsCamp #BigSean #Detroit #Rapper #Producer #HowardUniversity #HBCU #BrownGirlBloggers #DarkSkinWomen #NaturalHair #Inspiration #Motivation
  • (Pt. 1) After this years #RocNation brunch there was a photo with #JayZ, #TI #Diddy, #SwizzBeatz, #YoGotti & #BigSean to name a few that went viral. With an estimate net worth of over $1 billion amongst the group, the photo that was celebrating black excellence was criticized for the artists not doing “enough” to give back. Having recently interviewed @BigSean for the third time, w/ 2 out of 3 occasions being in a community service setting, I was disheartened by the presumptuous bandwagon that many people had gotten on because philanthropy is a major aspect of his brand. I recently spoke with him at the @fordfoundation inaugural @MenOfCourage__ event in LA. With the goal of combating the negative stereotypes that plague African American men (cue the irony of the brunch photo) the #MenOfCourage initiative is designed to allow “community leaders to rise up” said Big Sean. This is one of my most important interviews because representation matters & there artists & athletes like Big Sean, #ChanceTheRapper & of course #ColinKaepernick who are using their platform to literally pay it forward. @seanandersonorg @yourrightscamp
  • In this clip @LarenzTate reminded me that his body of work is longer than a CVS receipt: #LoveJones #MenaceIISociety, #DeadPresidents, #Crash, #WhyDoFoolsFallInLove, #Ray, #Bronzeville #Power...to name a few #bloop! This interview was shot in December, the @BounceTV #TrumpetAwards was filmed in January & it aired tonight so this is somewhat of a throwback but not really! It was such a great way to start off my new year as an #EntertainmentJournalist & #Moderator...I have the full testimony on @ZonDAmour but this interview was a reiteration & confirmation that I'm walking in my purpose even when it doesn't feel like it. I was nervously fluffing my fro & doing my makeup @kanetraking house while tryna show her how to keep my camera in focus. Thank God for quality studio lighting! And thank you to amazing publicists including: @sibleyworld @saptosamfoster @4evervaughn for believing in me and extending such amazing opportunities! .. .... ..... ...... ....... #StoryTime #Director #Producer #Junket #LarenzTate #EricaAsh #BlackHistory #BecauseOfThemWeCan #BlackMenSmiling #BlackBoyJoy @DarkAndLovely #BlackGirlBloggers #BrownGirlBloggers #DarkSkinWomen #NaturalHair #TeamNatural #PAFF #ABFF #DarkAndLovely @TVOne @OWNTV @Starz @Essence
  • Soooo @LarenzTate is one of the most gracious and most humble people I've ever interviewed. I was ready to risk it all! 😩 It was such an honor to speak with the #Power star about his latest role, as the #host of the @BounceTV #TrumpetAwards I asked Larenz would he be taking any cues from #TraceeEllisRoss & #AnthonyAnderson who sing, dance and rap when they host the #BET & NAACP Awards...? What special talent will he be bringing to the stage? Watch for his response. Shout out to my fave publicist @kanetraking for standing in as my videographer .. .... ..... ...... ....... #StoryTime #Director #Producer #Junket #LarenzTate #EricaAsh #BlackHistory #BecauseOfThemWeCan #BlackMenSmiling #BlackBoyJoy @DarkAndLovely #BlackGirlBloggers #BrownGirlBloggers #DarkSkinWomen #NaturalHair #TeamNatural #DarkAndLovely @TVOne @OWNTV @Starz @Essence
  • Thank you to the breathtakingly beautiful #GhanaianModel @doraowusu for so candidly sharing your story with my site ZonDAmour.com which is for the #empowerment of #DarkSkinWomen & #DarkSkinMen. In shooting,editing & transcribing your video, I heard your testimony so many times but it still makes me emotional to know that you experienced so much disrespect for the color of the your skin. I'm elated to know that not only have you persevered but just like the women you admire, #DuckieThot & #LupitaNyongo, you're a phenomenal role model for countless women including myself. I'm so proud of you and @bmg.models is blessed to have you & all of your #melanin! Hit the link in my bio to read more of Dora's story.
