Greetings Venusian! Welcome to my world.

Can you believe it’s already October? It’s a new season…
FESTIVAL SEASON! 

Are you seeing RED too?
Last month, I told you how my first-ever animated short film, Lil Red is Riding the Wrong Way in the Hood, has been selected for several film festivals. If you’re in the San Francisco Bay or Los Angeles areas, you can join me at either of the two festivals below!
Saturday, October 14
Lil Red will screen at 3pm at the Silicon Valley African Film Festival in San Jose. Learn more at svaff.org and get your tickets here! (Use code “FILM20” for a discount!)
Sunday, October 22
Lil Red will screen at 10 am at the La Femme Film Festival in Los Angeles. Learn more at lafemme.org and get tickets here!
Lil Red tackles the serious problem of human trafficking in a safe way for children, parents/guardians, teachers, and other members of the community. Thanks to tireless advocates and the recent blockbuster success of the feature film Sound of Freedom, there’s more attention to this important issue than ever before.

Learn more about Lil Red at lilredmovie.com. And if you missed my interview on the “Love Never Fails” podcast, check it out here. Together, let’s #endhumantrafficking!

Let’s keep looking up and keep looking out.
When we do there’s a lot less fear and a lot less doubt.

Love Always…
