The Conceptual Artist Travels Back in Time For Her Surreal New Film
Artist Lorna Simpson conjures a childhood memory for today’s pirouette-filled film, currently on view at Salon 94 gallery. Coated in gold body paint and accessorized with matching [...]
A new promo we’ve just released for upcoming film, RasTa.
This, first in a series of clips from the film ”Quantum Communication” by Producer, David Sereda, looks at how we manifest what we experience individually and collectively.
“Scientist and filmmaker Sereda discussed his latest research on how communication works at the quantum level, and how information about this remarkable human ability has been suppressed by the government. “What’s [...]
Give thanks! I was profiled today, the first day of business of 2011, in Who’s Who in Black Canada. As I said to a friend it’s too bad we still have to differentiate but indeed in Canada, great as it is, for the support of many still do. Many people are still marginalized for their [...]
I was sent this pic today by our RasTa location photographer. It immediately evoked in me a solid feeling of groundedness – a memory. On our visit to the Taj Mahal we were required to cover our street shoes with sanitary booties which they supplied. I chose to enter barefooted. It just felt right. The [...]
I returned recently from a trod to London, UK and Varanasi, India, the final two shoot locations for the upcoming film RasTa. London, for me, held no more than its usual thrills as I have been there numerous times before for visits with family and friends. I stayed with my best friend, O’Neil, to catch up [...]
On Nov. 7th, I had the pleasure of directing a very special event for Ve’ahavta, a Canadian humanitarian and relief organization, motivated by the Jewish value of Tzedakah (Justice). Ve’Ahavta assists the needy at home and abroad, through volunteerism, education, and acts of kindness, while building bridges between Jews and other peoples. The event presented [...]
Renee Thompson is trying to make it as a top fashion model in New York. She’s got the looks, the walk and the drive. But she’s a black model in a world where white women represent the standard of beauty. Agencies rarely hire black models. And when they do, they want them to look “like [...]
It was a neon bright camaraderie where happy, fresh, faces were laughing, jostling, joyously alive. We were giddily toasting and celebrating that we had complete our prep for a fabulous fashion show that would happen the next day. Bright bold florescent colors played together under the harsh overhead neon white. A friend and I split [...]
I’ve lost the use of my heart
But I’m still alive
Still looking for the life
The endless pool on the other side
It’s a wild wild west
I’m doing my best
I’m at the borderline of my faith,
I’m at the hinterland of my devotion
In the frontline of this battle of mine
But I’m still alive
I’m a soldier of love.
Every day and [...]

When you’re busy as a bee doing what you are privileged and love to do, who’d think there’d be even more thrilling things you could also be doing. I’m a producer to the core. I’m fully aware that this is my gift. And it wasn’t until a friend/colleague of mine, Patricia Scarlett piped up that [...]
I’m penning a book – my memoirs, in gratitude and awe of my big beautiful life; to share it with others so they too can appreciate the gifts that abound in their own. I dedicate this to all of those who have played a part, large and small, in my becoming me. I thank my glorious [...]
Love this shot of Grace Jones, echoes of her on the classic stairs. I remember first seeing her back in the 80′s on the top floor of a little club in Montréal, Canada, called the limelight. I was young, full of curiosity and living my life. This fiery force of a woman took to the stage, [...]

A little profile that ran in the National Post.
I’ve laid out my book and decided to string the dreams I had the clarity to jot down at the time. I’ve been gifting with running into an old friend whom, as a writer, was able to share with me that what I’ve laid out, my book’s plan is actually my memoir. I initially rebuffed [...]
Our deepest fear is not that we are adequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves: Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are we not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t [...]
