The Defiant Ones

Music is awesome in more ways than one. It makes people feel, brings people together, and can change the culture. In the documentary The Defiant Ones, Jimmy Iovine mentioned how in order to get something to connect with people you must first remove the ego. I resonated with this statement because I’m a firm believer in that you must serve others selflessly in order to reap any benefits. I think this mentallity plaid a huge part in Jimmy Iovines success. He emphasises the importance of building connections and relationships to build a brand. Those two factors are extremely important because more connections/relationships, equals more support and more support means more exposure of your brand. Conclusively, if success is what you want, don’t chase success, chase connections and selflessness and the rest will flow to you freely.

Here a few of my shots of Sidney Poitier's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star on Hollywood Boulevard honoring legendary actor and movie star Sidney Poitier. I arrived at dusk to see his Star adorned with flowers and tributes arranged around his Star and to the side a foam core mounted image of Sidney with a white floral garland around his photo. It was a lovely tribute a great man who broke racial barriers and opened up the movie industry for greater opportunities for people of color. May his memory be a blessing for us all. Rest In Peace dear Sir. @sidney_poitier_ #sidneypoitier #tosirwithlove @hwdwalkoffame #hollywoodwalkoffame #guesswhoscomingtodinner #thedefiantones #intheheatofthenight #lilliesofthefield #araisininthesun #academyawards @theacademy #academyawardwinner (at Hollywood Walk of Fame) https://www.instagram.com/billybennight/p/CYvNUEqr9xb/?utm_medium=tumblr

First time I ever saw To Sir With Love a rush of electric excitement through my stream of consciousness. He was the first Black man I EVER saw on screen in total command leaving generations behind him with hope of what was possible.

🤳 WELCOME TO THE SELF TAKEOVER! 🤳 Many of you have asked about the origins of @bijules. Who is the 🧙‍♀️ behind the diamond curtain? 💎 I am @juleskim and here’s my story as a storyteller and jewelry creative... Liked mindedness builds community; Strengthens bonds; sells jewelry and upholds culture. One’s personal history can be articulated by their jewelry artifacts. Each piece reflects life’s authentic experiences and choices. The cult of sharing a night(s) out and its resulting memories can take shape in a silver bar ring, gold nail ring or other Bijules jewelry silhouettes. Those single moments live forever in metal and gems; yet have been replicated, copied, imitated, and knocked off. If you’ve ever partied downtown, that’s what launching a jewelry concept into the market is like;) It’s risky but you do it 200% anyways. As a design creative, I relish moments of inspiration and hunger for concepts to apply in original jewelry designs. My night(s) out, childhood nostalgia or collaborative conversations are deeply personal yet humbly universal so for them to ultimately manifest for more likeminded people, it is a profound honor. It is also an honor to fuel sub pop culture with integrity and honesty. For those who have NOT shared a crazy night out or translated Lee Press On nails into modern nail rings, I feel betrayed. That is how it feels when my copyrighted designs are knocked off. When Forever21, H&M, eBay, and all of China could have NEVER designed the #bijulesnailring but somehow they act like they were at the same party? At the same time? That’s so weird, because I didn’t see u there?! Design derivation and copyright infringement are illegal and unethical... and lazy. #bijulesjewelry #selftakeover #callout #imitationisnotflattery #likechanelsaid #respect #risktaker #bijules #communitybuilder #thedefiantones #juleskim #bipocjewelrydesigner #copyright #copyleft #benefactorofideas #ip #defystandards #knucklering #nailring #barring #handlet #nightlifeforever (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKCknX2lfGx/?igshid=kh1djk4dcylv

Award Winning Music Documentary THE DEFIANT ONES Debuts on Netflix on 3/23 • A mini-series about the relationship between music producer Jimmy Iovine and rapper Dr. Dre is coming to Netflix around the globe (excluding the USA and CANADA). “The Defiant Ones”, a 4-episode documentary that previously aired on HBO in America and Canada, examines their surprising partnership and how it has affected modern culture. • Set amid many of the defining events of the past four decades, The Defiant Ones tells the stories of Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre — one the son of a Brooklyn longshoreman, the other straight out of Compton — and their improbable partnership and surprising leading roles in a series of transformative events in contemporary culture. This revealing, compelling and often-gritty story takes place in recording studios, in humble homes and massive mansions, in criminal courts and in the highest corridors of corporate power. • The series includes interviews with such music icons as #Bono, #DavidGeffen, #Eminem, #Nas, #StevieNicks, #IceCube, #GwenStefani, #JonLandau, #TomPetty, #TrentReznor, #SnoopDogg, #BruceSpringsteen, #Diddy and #will.i.am., as well as #Dre and #JimmyIovine themselves, and is essential viewing for anyone interested in the history of hip-hop and modern pop. • Jimmy was pivotal to Stevie’s solo career when she initially went solo producing her first release Bella Donna. • @defiantones #thedefiantones

This is one of those movies I never get tired of no matter how many times I’ve seen it. Cullen and Joker; and who can forget lines like, “And I'll be Charlie Potatoes, coming down the street with a Panama hat and a good-looking gal.” Bowlin' green, sewin' machine! #TheDefiantOnes #1958 #classic #movie #classicmovie #gem #SidneyPoitier #TonyCurtis
