Show Me Social Justice Festival

So I know it has been a while but it is again for good reason!!!! As many know I am involved with the film 17 Degrees Ain't Nothing. The Film was accepted into the SHOW ME SOCIAL JUSTICE FESTIVAL , located in Warrensburg, Missouri. Carlton Mackey who wasn't able to attend the festival presented the Opportunity to represent the film for him and Dane Danerson. Of Course I accepted and was highly excited. Alongside with me was Christopher Rhodes Jr. When we arrived to Warrensburg we were greeted by Bruce Greer who worked with the festival. It was hospitality to the fullest!!! Everyone was so nice. That Friday night we got ready to attend the Red Carpet Event. We met great people one being Dee Wallace. She is known for playing Mary the mother in the film E.T. It was a pleasure meeting her along side with Amy Mack, Todd Drezner , Matt Leonard, Ky Dickens http://www.fishoutofwaterfilm.com/. We met great people on the trip and I am blessed to have been apart of something great. I pray that I have more opportunities to be involved in projects that advocates change and provokes the mind to open up and think and not be closed minded. Enjoy the pictures and believe we have more great things around the corner!!!!!!!

Honored and Humbled

Man it's been a minute but for good reason. On the 14th of July I attended another screening of the film 17 Degrees Ain't Nothing.

Where do i began? I will say that this was one of the most eye opening events I have ever been to. Some say when it rains it pours!! Well the people poured in. Face after Face. Person after Person. The Center of Ethics was packed to the Max!!!! I mean it got HOT in the building. It reminded me of a movie premiering for the first time at Plaza Theater.

Carlton Mackey and Dane Jefferson were amazing!!! I was shocked and humbled by the turnout and the whole experience. Carlton called everyone who was involved in the film to come up and he introduced everyone and we spoke. When Tanya Anderson pressed play, everyone was glued to the screen!!! After the film people was inspired, motivated, and moved to do more and fight this cause. It brought tears to a lot of people eyes. The Q&A afterward was amazing, people were very intrigued by the film and asked some great questions. I am very proud and Honored to be apart of something so meaningful. I pray we can take care of this Epidemic of Homelessness some day. One Love to Pops, Jesse, Gino, Red and New York. You guys are in our Prayers!!!!

17 DEGREES AIN'T NOTHING!

It's been a while right? But with good reason!! Well Carlton Mackey as you all know has been working on some big things alongside Extraordinary Artist Dane Jefferson. Dane created this dope poster for the film by the way! Carlton and Dane both worked on a documentary about homelessness and asked me to do a song for the soundtrack. With out seeing the film (only having a conversation with Carlton) I created the title track for the Film "17 Degrees Ain't Nothing". (CLICK HERE TO LISTEN) With the help and Production of Christopher Rhodes Jr, I was able to create this song. I am so excited and Grateful to be blessed to participate in such a great cause!!!

Soooooooooo the film was premiered on May 27th, 2010 at the Plaza Theater. It was the WonderRoot's Generally Local, Most independent Film makers night. I was so excited!!!! The night was warm with just a tad of Breeze. My dad was there, my girl was there, Christopher Rhodes Jr., Dane Jefferson, we were just missing Carlton who along with his wife were off on business. We held it down for them though!!!!!!!! LOL. The night was great; the people was great and the other films were awesome!!!! Some funny,some creative, and some was artistic.

But when our Film came on the whole mood changed. The theater got very quite. Real life hit us in the face. And I had goosebumps and chills when I heard my voice. You could feel the others people energy in the room like what everyone was thinking in the room. It added substance to the list of films being showed. I heard my words from my song and was sweating bullets. It was beautiful to see the individuals from the video speak upon what they were going through. It put life in perspective!!!! I am proud of Carlton Mackey and Dane Jefferson for doing something that others in the world fail to do.......... CARING!!!! I am so grateful to be involved in such a project. Thank you guys!!!! Really I am Speechless.......... But here goes!!!! Stay tuned!!!!
