A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family.

The first two POCs were just the beginning. ✨
After the feedback, FrankHeart is moving toward producing the pilot for the series.
If you missed the POCs, I’ll drop the link in the comments.
We’re also looking for sponsors and partners to help bring this next chapter to life.
Your soul has been watching your love choices… and she has notes 😅
Soul World is a dramedy anthology series about love, connection, and what our souls might say if they could speak.
Proof of concept is out now 💜
Comment “Souls” to follow the journey.
Somewhere between the world we see… and the one we feel… something is trying to get through.
But in "Soul World", not every sign is gentle.
This is only the beginning.
If you want to go on the journey, comment “Souls”

British actor Idris Elba was knighted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle on Tuesday in recognition of both his acting career and philanthropic work supporting young people.
At just 13 years old, Alena Analeigh McQuarter made history as the youngest Black student ever accepted into a U.S. medical school.
Now 17, this brilliant young queen has already graduated high school at 12, earned a Master’s degree, interned at NASA, founded The Brown STEM Girl to inspire other girls of color, and continues blazing trails in medicine and science.
Her journey is living proof that when purpose, discipline, and brilliance collide, nothing can hold you back not even age.
The future is in incredible hands! 👏🏽
One thing the Soul World POC reminded me:
Energy is contagious on set.
The moment I regrounded myself, the whole energy shifted. Really powerful to witness as a director. 🎬
Zendaya once gave her entire film crew at least 1% equity in her film 'Malcolm and Marie' so they would earn a bonus after the film sold.
The movie was sold to Netflix for an estimated $30M.
Each crew member made at least $300k+
That feeling you can’t explain…
The one you almost ignore.
Yeah… that.
“Here we go again.” 😅

I honestly think one of the biggest problems in the world is that we don’t love ourselves enough.
That’s a big part of why I created FrankHeart.
Even when things get hard, I always come back to the mission and why I started.
#FrankHeart#SelfLove#Purpose#Filmmaking
Trying something different…
Instead of guessing what to create next, I’m using real audience feedback to guide what FrankHeart produces.
Started with Soul World — more previews coming soon.
What resonates? What doesn’t?
I’m listening.
“I think I’m finally healed.”
Life: Season 2.
