we are excited to share her prayer, my journey with the world. this film is a call to remember ourselves, our ancestors, our stories, our creation. it is a meditation on the ways we return to ourselves through spirit, land, and tradition. at the river’s edge, aya bathes in prayer, unaware that six divine guides watch over her. sent to earth to heal and remember, she stands at the threshold of her own awakening. as the guides reveal themselves, aya must embrace her divinity and purpose, learning that to heal the world, she must first reclaim herself. we hope people will relate with her journey and enjoy this body of work put together by an amazing cast and wonderful crew. credits: directors: laze, inayah bashir @lazy.mondays @happily.unpercieved creative director: laze @lazy.mondays producers: laze, inayah bashir @lazy.mondays @happily.unpercieved cast: bentiwaah addison (jan) @bentiwaa_addison sedem dussey-bebli (crystal) @dussey.ss ayas (lush) @the.ayy marjorie alimoh (fay) @_amor.marj charles taylor (jay) @doppytaylorlamar sikiaeli don-arthur (mariela) inanna b.

A look inside 👁️📡 AMA’S SALON 📡👁️ In today’s world, black hair salons function as spaces of personal transformation. But what does the future *actually* hold for our sacred community spaces? Socially, the salon is a sanctuary, a site of therapy and storytelling in our communities. Economically, black hair salons act as both transformation centers and micro-economies — essential spaces led mostly by black women. Technologically/Politically, digital surveillance and data control (especially our bio-data!) are major points of tension in our collective futures. Through this project I invite people to question: how does the role of women leaders change given complex future trends? What happens when our most intimate data — even emotional data collected at our safe havens — becomes commodified? And what can we as community leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives of the global Afro-diaspora do about it? Come discuss this and more at the upcoming ✨COLLECTIVE FUTURES LAB✨ on 30.12.1025 presented by @woodxwatta & @wild_moon in collaboration with @edanghana & @blackfemarc 🌀 RSVP link in bio! Big shout to @g.sarkodee @nicole_coffie @judahsmakeover_ @smallcrowdd for translating the vision for @amassalon.2056 to another level!!

community, vibes, and a little ‘ginseng & lime.’ behind the scenes, the work stays intentional but there’s always room for laughter, mistakes, resets, and real moments. here’s a closer look at the energy, the process, and the little things the camera usually hides. cc @smallcrowdd ⭐️

she prayed, she journeyed — and the world keeps listening. 🕊️ after winning the audience choice award at @liftoffglobalnetwork ’s first-time filmmaker sessions, we were invited to submit “her prayer, my journey” to london lift-off 2025 — and we’ve now been officially selected. ✨ deep gratitude to everyone who believed in this film from day one. london, we’re on the way. 🌍 #herprayermyjourney #liftofffilmfestival #londonliftoff2025 #smallcrowdd #africandiaspora #indiefilm #filmmakingjourney

it’s chaos. it’s community. it’s creating something bigger than ourselves. staying sharp and still remaining true to ourselves. from casting within our community, styling with our ever-growing closet, joint creative conceptualization and teamwork we have birthed new ideas. this is an introduction into our world of test shoots filled with on spot brainstorming, collaboration and unbridled creativity. a glimpse into our lives working @smallcrowdd ⭐️
