Back in 2019, Pastor Barry Taimani, alongside our good friend Erica, poured into our students through a powerful cultural workshop centered on identity, perspective, and purpose 🙏
Their words and leadership left a lasting impact, and we’re excited to welcome Pastor Barry back to the stage at R.O.O.T.S FEST to continue sharing wisdom with our community 🏝️🔥
Moments like these are what R.O.O.T.S FEST is all about — reconnecting through culture, uplifting our people, and investing in the next generation 🤝
We’re less than 20 days away from May 23rd 👀 Don’t miss your chance to be part of something meaningful.

Let’s take a closer look at the work of Erica Villanueva in this little gem WALTZING WITH BRANDO. The film may have snuck past you, but the Hair and Makeup work is extraordinary. Erica was the head of the hair department for the enchanting film. Listen to how she worked with the challenging (though stunningly beautiful) elements and the local Tunisian crew on this project:
Find your pockets of joy in this life. In a world hellbent on trying to steal it from us. Joy is resistance. Laughter is resistance. Inner peace is resistance.
