Womanhood! Vivica A. Fox compliments Aleshea Harris on her courage bringing together all the female cast of ‘Is God Is’:
“I'm an independent filmmaker myself, you know, first-time director. I know what it's like to want to go after people that you have on your wish list. When I did my directorial debut, I paid my lead actress out of my own pocket because I wanted her. And it was called ‘Through Her Eyes’. Tressa Azarel, she gave me my directorial debut.
So for Aleshea, for her to get the stellar cast that she got, everyone showed up with no ego. And I believe that's because they believed in the script, they believed in the project, they believed in the director, and also one of our producers was Tessa Thompson.
[...] Tessa was involved, so everyone, it was almost kind of like, why not? Why not do it? And we filmed in New Orleans. Yes. It was hot. [...] But no one was tripping because a lot of us had never worked together or hadn't worked together for a long time or for the first time.”

When Peabo Bryson came to town back in April, I almost didn’t go because of the hectic month that I had, but I pushed myself to go and see him. I was honored to have him talk to me for a solid 2 hours after the show.
To my dad’s FAVORITE male singer:
Rest in perfect peace.🕊️
