Watching this film was a spiritual experience. What a beautiful way to introduce Alice Walker’s the color purple to a new generation. Cinematography heaven… the music… and the incredible cast in this film. Please watch it in theaters 12/25/23

I think about my grandmother and how her life would have been different had she been given the opportunities that I have. Whenever I try to define the term ‘grace’, I think of her. And grace always felt simply, an invitation to depth, peace, refinement, effortlessness, & respect.

What a privilege it is to create something, anything! Artists often make/create to heal our own wounds and let the poison out. Through this process, we learn It’s also about libration when an artist creates following one’s imagination & makes something of oneself. Maxine’s Baby!

A little rain shower from Bali :) Happy New Year & Melkam Gena ye hagere lijoch, Rhus Be’al Ledet, Baga Guyyaa Dhaloota Yasuus Geesse. Despite the superficial boundaries differences we label between us, people are all equal in praying, meditating, kneeling fo peace & happiness.

…to learn and be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible…….Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them — wherever you go.” Bali thank you for welcoming us with open hearts ♥️ & teaching us the Balinese way of life. Matur suksma!
