The Series

“Surviving” is a sci-fi webseries that follows Shayla. Shayla is a nurse who’s working in a hospital when a mysterious “flu” takes over the city. Shayla is forced to flee the city with her younger sister Lucy. They soon discover that the virus, is a lot more serious than anyone could have ever imagined. Not only is their father somehow involved with the virus, Shayla and Lucy are now being hunted by the Government. Shayla and Lucy are in a race against time to not only find their father, but save the fate of mankind.

The Impact

Having been an actress in the business for over 20 years, I have a platform and I feel as though it’s my responsibility and the responsibility of others with bigger platforms than mine to help actors of color coming behind us. I also think it’s our responsibility to inspire up and coming film makers and let them know that you don’t need Hollywood gatekeepers to determine what films/shows or content you produce and create. Create your own and use the web.

It’s our responsibility to let up and coming actors/directors/film makers know that you don’t have to wait for the approval of traditional Hollywood gatekeepers. They’ve made billions NOT telling our stories. There’s no incentive or rush for them. I want to inspire folks and let them know that they don’t have to wait. You control your destiny. Produce, Shoot and Post.

This will be my THIRD webseries, including both seasons 1 and 2 of my first Webseries Almost Home (I also raised money for both of those seasons on IndieGoGo) and we hope we’ve proven ourselves, creatively and professionally. This show will be a total 180 from Almost Home and we’re SO excited about it! You can’t put film makers of color into a box. We love ALL genre’s. We support All genre’s. It’s time for us to be represented also. And live longer than the first scene. lol!

Roasted Red Pepper & Squash Curry

Food Heaven Made Easy writes:

The winter is approaching, which for me translates into warm comfort meals. This curry totally hits the spot, and is the perfect balance of creamy goodness (thanks to the butternut squash and red pepper puree.) You can enjoy this with a side of rice, greens or pita bread.  Note that you can also throw the butternut squash in the oven along with the red peppers, if you prefer to roast vs boil them. Enjoy!

I went to the farmers market, and came home with a gigantic bag of Brussel sprouts. On Insta, I asked ya’ll to throw some recipe ideas my way, and cooking inspiration came raining from the heavens! I was inspired to create not 1, but 4 different variations. These all came out absolutely amazing, and I literally have my vegetable intake covered for the week.

Here’s the complete set of my Pixar quote posters! It took me over a month to finish the entire poster series so it feels SO good to finally compile them into a single post. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed making them! (If you want the individual rebloggable posts, you can check here)
