| Braska Jungle Reverie | For the 3 part Braska Oasis prelude reels, I ended up generating nearly 700 images 😅. So best believe I’m going to repurpose some of them. While generating the story pictures, I realized I’d need to create images of the Braska in their past prosperous jungle home, for the first time. A dramatic tragedy forced them to flee their ancestral grounds. The exact reason why is under wraps until later in the story 🤫 but for now we can enjoy some vignettes of their carefree days before the exodus to the desert. #aiart #storytelling #aurenda #soleterra #yabooks #fantasy #worldbuilding #stories #wonderous #grow #chakra #blackwriters #lightening #desert #bloom #glass #mirror #beauty #jungle #story

What does it mean to be beautiful in OUR society? Honestly speaking in 2024 you’ll probably hear more women be referred to as “bad bitches” than “beautiful.” But what exactly is a bad bitch? Is it big breasts? An outstanding ass? Little-to-no-waist? Long hair flowing down your back? Is it always having your nails and feet done? Hair always “on fleek?” Always dressed to impress? Where did these expectations come from? These seemingly impossible expectations. The standards that have women mutilating their bodies and risking their lives to meet them, and feel up to par. - @sistahjazzlyn • • • • #BlackBeauty #BeautyStandards #Women #BlackGirlsCollective #FYP #availablenow #linkinmybio #blackmindsmatter #blackwriters #ablackgirlscollective #followforfollowback

The Excellent Experiment Hey guys. So I don’t have a new drawing right now but I do have a poem-ish I just whipped up. It was based loosely on my thought process during a similar situation at the rehearsal for one of my plays at school. Thankfully, nothing crazy happens like in the poem but I wanted to kind of satirize the feeling of replaying the same moment in your head again and again changing every minut detail. I promise there will be new art but it might take a while with senior year and everything. Anyways introductions aside, I hope you enjoy this poem. Love you guys! #writing #blackwriters

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is based of the graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim. Scott Pilgrim was written by Bryan Lee O Mallet and the film was directed by Edgar Wright. He did a wonderful job adapting the whole series into one film. This film is a romantic, action, comedy that has strong elements of video game and comic culture. This film had amazing visuals for it’s time and the music was also on point. Personally I feel the film shows us how challenging life can be and we can find out who we truly are along the way. #scottpilgrim #scottpilgrimvstheworld #indiefilmmaker #indiefilmmaking #orlandofilm #orlandofilmmaker #independentfilmmaker #independentfilms #independentfilm #blackfilm #blackfilmmakers #blackfilms #blackfilmmaker #blackartist #blackceo #screenwriters #screenwriterslife #blackwriters #filmmakinglife #filmmakingtips #keepfilmalive #filmfestivals #filmfestivallife #filmproduction #movierecommendation #moviebuff #moviestowatch #moviestagram #movieset #movielover

If Beale Street Could Talk, by James Baldwin (African-American), is a story that does not come by often. It is a beautiful novel that I hold closely to my heart. Tish and Fonny share a unique type of bond that can only be defined as “real and irreplicable.” As I read, I could understand why they would sacrifice so much for one another, risk so much for one another, and struggle together—their chemistry is just that good. How it’s told, this is a story that reflects on the past while taking place during the main conflict: Fonny being in prison for something he never did AND they have a baby on the way. This conflict continues for the entire story and it really makes you nervous. What I appreciate most in the story is the love each of the characters have for one another (except three… if you read it, you’ll know who I’m talking about). Everyone is willing to help this couple out—Tish’s parents and sister, Fonny’s dad, the Mexican restaurant staff—it’s just wholesome (of course, if you’re not thinking about what’s at stake). Regardless, I was rooting for these two. Their love is so real, I love Tish so much as a narrator, I love the way her pregnancy is described—specifically, how the baby develops—I love how Baldwin isn’t scared to be controversial (especially for the time of release: Themes of intersectionality, language etc..) Baldwin’s prose is excellent, the conflicts have you flipping the page, said conflicts actually hold weight in the later parts of the story. What’s more is that Baldwin writes women characters really well. I was pleased. If you ask me my favorite novel, I will tell you, “If Beale Street Could Talk.” I’ve seen the movie, I loved it (Barry Jenkins is a fabulous director). I really hope you get the chance to read this. It really sets a standard for romance novels. I haven’t read it in a year and I still think about it. This book changed me, I love it so much. A masterpiece. Q: After all of that, will you be reading this?

Is wife-only submission a part of God’s unknown?  Some people believe it is. A while back, a reader left a comment under a blog post, saying that  “husband leadership” and wife-only submission are part of God’s  “upside-down Kingdom." New on the blog, I'm exploring why I don't believe submission going one way is some type of God's mysterious will and our responsibility once we know the truth.

At night Bambi is kept awake by the baby’s cries, and during the days he is disturbed by a cockerel that stalks the garden. There is sand in the rice.

Yes, the shock is palpable this was the look on my face on the Teams call: "Did he really say that?" This was taken from a larger piece on the Workplace that I published and discussed on Season 2 of my Podcast #AsIncenseBurns Episode 20 How much is your Soul Worth? This stood out as one of the most shameful corporate experiences that I ever had as a Black man and Human Being. Bar None. So much that I don't reference that corporate stop in my professional lexicon due to its toxicity. It was a trial of the spirit. What happened? I was told... to get over it! . . #storytelling #workplace #narratives #mentalhealth #selfcare #writingprompts #authornotes #mindfulness #blackwriters #ignorance #inspiration #poetryforthesoul #authorquotes #blkcreatives #bekind #corporateidentity #humanity

Something I wrote and shared last year in a video for our mothers, entitled "Good Job." Sometimes -I'm finding as a parent- it feels like a thankless job, but this #poem was a reminder that your effect, especially as a #mom never goes unnoticed, even if it's unsaid (same for fathers)...Though it doesn't always get communicated to you, your children see you and if you're doing a good job...they really do appreciate it... So just a little excerpt to remind you all of your exceptional impact and that...you're doing a good job mom...will share some of the video again soon... #authorlife #poetlife #poetry #rhymes #scribes #poetscorner #writerscommunity #poetscafe #writelife #poetrysnotdead #blackwriters
