Lwa, A Chorus of Voices

I do love a good KickStarter project! Daye Rogers is a filmmaker in training here in Los Angeles. Her film, Lwa, A Chorus of Voices, tells the story of young Odessa, a Haitian in diaspora, negotiating the space after her mothers death, before her womanhood all underneath the memory and aftermath of Haiti’s 2010 earthquake.

It’s kind of amazing.

I’m art directing this film – the first time I’ve ever done something like this. I’m excited Daye brought me on to the project! Stories like these are crucial to our idea that Brown Is Beautiful. One more line to our proof.

We’re Back!

Several weeks ago, I took the site down because I wanted to do a quick update of some wonky pages over a couple of hours.

Those few hours turned into days and weeks after I basically crashed the site.

As bad as it was, I made it a point not to panic. Things you can’t control happen when they’re supposed to. Also, I’m a computer programmer. Crashing is my game.

But I couldn’t leave y’all without a dope beat to step to!

So here we are, heading towards the middle of Black History month. Our digital hair and nails are all done and we’re ready to rock.

Thank you for supporting the movement. Brown Is Beautiful!

Always,
Ann D!
