"the truth remains under the bridge of lies it takes a lifetime to construct.."

- a note from my journal that dates back to high school, but still proves relevant. There are times that I feel I knew so much more about life and what it truly meant to live when I was younger... before the textbooks and media began to cloud the mind.

 

It is up to us to unlearn and reeducate ourselves. Question everything... research, and seek out the answers for ourselves. Don't become a slave to the machine.

The Unmasked Effect: Legacies Unveiled

Growth.
Impactful.
Survivor.
Birth.
Relentless.
Good.
Present.
Freedom.

This is powerful. Watch.

Saturday is MY day.

Just so you know...

in case you forgot.

I Stand Alone x Robert Glasper x Common

The interlude at the end, greater than.

 

"The irresistible appeal of Black individuality - where has all of that gone?"

"The trends of the times be damned...

 

"We should all be unsatisfied with mimicking the popular, rather than mining the fertile veins of creativity that God placed deep inside each of us."

Recap: The B- Word Screening

1. Celeste and the "Creole Sour Patch Kid" aka moi. Her words, not mine.

2, 3. Wanted to take this bucket hat home. I didn't.. I should have.

4, 5. The best sushi and tacos are on the West Coast.

6 - 12. Amoeba Music with my cousin and West Coast transplant Stee,

my new favorite hoodie and Grey Ant.

13. When in LA I drink Thai iced tea at least once a day. So good. My addiction.

14. Coachellaaaaa..

15 - 18. Pre- "The B-Word" screening selfies.

16. The B-Word played on six screens in RAIN nightclub in Studio City, CA. There was a good turnout and everyone seemed to enjoy the three films that were played.

17 - 18. The producing duo behind "The B-Word," The Celistan twins!

19 - 21. Post- screening fun. This wasn't the dress that I originally planned to wear.. but it was the first I tried on and I fell in love with the simplicity of it. It gave me a Carrie vibe. My sister Tamika was my date and she proved to be a true team player when the party moved from the screening to Sardo's karaoke bar! There's footage, but it will never get out.. lol. We performed Outkast "Ms. Jackson" in honor of their Coachella performance and Brandy "I Wanna Be Down."

 

( SIDE NOTE: The B- Word screening was so nice! From the film to the venue - I am so proud of my cousins for pulling off such a major feat. I can't wait for it to come to DC and to see what else these amazing girls have in store. Congrats ladies! )

Empty Suitcases and The Henna Hand Tat

Spent my lunch break getting a henna hand tattoo. I had no idea that the place where I get my eyebrows done even offered such a service. I'm one day away from my trip to LA and have yet to pack. The weather has warmed up there so I'm hoping to spend the days leading up to the premiere laid out on the beach catching the sun rays that we've been missing here on the east coast.

I'll do my best to keep the blog updated with pictures while I'm away.. if not, follow me on Instagram @Shari_Renee.
