I had a blast in Nashville, I spent quality time with family and my bestie and I attended a book signing and gleaned from the Billionaire Robert F. Smith . Check out his new book on Amazon. It’s powerful.

If you haven’t watched Kings of Jo’Burg on Netflix then you’re missing out. I just finished season 3 and I was on the Edge of my seat. I never knew what was coming next. I felt like I was right there with the characters experiencing everything . Shout out to the cast and crew and @samaddavis for directing and executive producing such an amazing show!!
My boy the Director, Filmmaker, Writer, Producer, and Actor put on one of the most epic parties. A #metgala themed birthday party. I was dressed as one of the characters from @shondarhimes Rhimes critically acclaimed show The Residence on Netflix; Det. Cordelia Cupp; adorned with birds, binoculars, and a tweed styled top. The birthday honoree just so happened to have both of his wardrobe changes to correlate with last night’s met gala. I think he’s destined to attend next year!!! Happy birthday friend

Wade Hampton Marshall thanks again for for connecting me to the wonderful filmmakers of Shreveport and being so encouraging and welcoming. Here are 10 reasons why you should apply and /or attend this film festival next year.
