Hi everyone! Iโm thrilled to share that my family and I have created a brand called DONNMARIE (inspired by my motherโs beautiful name). The purpose of our brand is to inspire and enrich women to actively live a more fulfilled life. As times are evolving, we thought how much we
Zendaya on how she knew Tom Holland was โher personโ:
โThereโs a certain feeling that I was able to experience when I knew that this is my person because I never feel nervous around them. I feel really peaceful and I feel really calm, and I feel like โOh, I actually feel more nervous when Iโm away from you than when Iโm with you.โ And that was when I was like โOh, thatโs a good sign!โโ
โPractice any artโฆ no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.โ
- McKellen reciting Vonnegut
Acting on your creative ideas is a form of self-love. Itโs how you prove to yourself that your vision has value, and your inner world deserves a place in reality. It says: โI see something inside me worth bringing into the world.โ Not someday. Not when itโs perfect. Now.
Ryan Coogler saying that a major inspiration for Sinners was the movie Puss In Boots: The Last Wish AND (one of my favorites) The Luck of the Irish made me holler.
Art is art. ANYTHING can be an inspiration for genius.
The thing I love most about Sinners is that itโs an artistโs dream. Imagine creating out of such pure & original energy & then having everything align to bring it into reality. Coogler is experiencing the epitome of what it means to create.
Biggest take away from the Oscars for me is that finding people you love and making art with them is a worthy, integral and noble human pursuit, no matter the odds or outcomes.

Oscar winner Viola Davis says she writes extensive biographies for every character she plays โ sometimes more than 100 pages, like for her role in "Doubt," where she only appeared on screen for just minutes.
Davis tells @thattracysmith the process helps her understand a characterโs entire life, because audiences are only seeing a small slice of who they are. https://t.co/3b7174t3Yu
The next time someone is condescending to you about (pursuing) the arts, just remember how everybody resorts to it in times of crisis and relaxation. People need it to consume just as much as itโs needed to be made
