Happy Friday!

Keeping this note short and sweet. My parents are in town this week so I've been juggling the hustle with also carving out time to spend with them. 

Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the Cannes film festival and market is well underway! Anyone chillin in France and want to share a pic so I can live vicariously through you?

Holla at me! It's such a glitzy event and I live for the red carpet. Here are some of my favorite lewks.If you are there OR dream of going one day, here's a nifty guide on navigating the festival. 

Thanks for doing this life thing with me!

HIGHLIGHT EPISODE

Attica and Tembi Locke are the dynamic sister duo behind the Netflix limited series, FROM SCRATCH, starring Zoe Saldana.  Alongside Hello Sunshine, they adapted Tembi's memoir into a beautiful show that legit dried up my tear ducts. The hit show trended in the top 10 globally in 84 countries for weeks on end following its October 2022 release.

Also! Recording another solo episode soon. Email me your questions!

Quality time with my parents. We mini golfed, ate too much ice cream, and visited blooming flower fields. 

WOMPS

Pulled an all nighter to redo a script breakdown due to a corrupt file.  Such a pain!

We often think about grief and grieving as it pertains to the death of a loved one. However, there's much to be said about grieving the loss of jobs,  relationships, and more.Thanks to producer and incredible human Laverne McKinnon for the recommend as I navigate this challenging time. 

Nifty video on how A24 transformed from an independent film distributor into a major player in the entertainment industry in such a short time.
