whitfield lovell -- "missoura" (2001)

"ne me quitte pas il faut oublier tout peut s'oublier qui s'enfuit déjà oublier le temps des malentendus et le temps perdu a savoir comment oublier ces heures qui tuaient parfois a coups de pourquoi le coeur du bonheur ne me quitte pas ne me quitte pas ne me quitte pas ne me quitte pas" … jacques brel

"in the creative hands of the artist whitfield lovell, vintage pictures of african americans who lived during the emancipation proclamation through the civil rights movement are transformed into drawings that capture personal memories, ancestral connections and the collective american past" … delaina dixon

Boy, I had some thoughts on Broadway’s Aladdin.

I started writing for DivaGalsDaily, a site run by a wonderful WOC crew. My pieces are edited by Delaina Dixon, who formats my writing to fit the sassy tone of the blog.

Writing short pieces for DivaGalsDaily has been my entry point into some sweet connections and press openings, so the more (unpaid) content I create for them, the more I can find ways to apply for opportunities.

If I can build a readership with DivaGalsDaily (which is currently 10,000 readers per month for the blog itself), I can build myself credentials to have press credentials for Star Wars Celebration and other cons.

So help me. And it will also help my DivaGalsDaily crew if you were to share, read, comment their works.

Last week I attended the launch party (at Hakkasan, NYC) for VH1's The Gossip Table which has 5 of the industry's most in the know personalities sharing the best gossip. Delaina Dixon in the gold colored dress is one of the co-hosts of this show which airs every morning live at 9:30am! We will be Shoe Styling her thanks to one of the many things we do as Shoe Week! I popped onto the red carpet with her and members of Diva Gals Daily rocking Swarovski Pink heels from SCHEE Shoes which are the perfect conversation making peep toe shoes! Congrats to Delaina and the rest of The Gossip Table!
