Artificial Intelligence

Good morning! Happy New Year! Happy Black History Month! Happy Self-awareness Year! I wanted to share some reflections on how I am approaching this year. I am making a conscious effort to speak, move, and step into things differently. Reflecting on last year, I realize I allowed certain people and distractions to affect my joy and focus. This year, I am being much more intentional about the company I keep and the environments I inhabit. I believe that my growth and blessings require a specific environment to thrive, and I am committed to avoiding self-sabotage.

If you know then you know how I gets down with books and theater, but to see some come to film means that I get to enjoy them as many times as I want at home- from the comfort of my couch!!! Much like, "The Color Purple," "Wicked" is a moment... no, it's a MOVEMENT for me! "... and if I'm flying solo/ At least I'm flying FREE" I felt those lyrics!!
