✨Globally there are less than 2% black female directors in the business. We are a niche in a niche. But, that also means we come at a premium. It’s all about perspective!✨ @clareanyiamo

This week I’m watching Black Molasses on @bohemiaeuphoria ✨Black Molasses✨Directed by: Nathan Shadrach, Scarlett Fae ✨Written by and starring Scarlett Fae, ’Black Molasses’ is a short film which follows a regular Sunday in the life of G, a 20-something and explores a correlation between her experiences and those of Mother Earth. Created with Nathan Shadrach (co-director), Fae’s directorial debut was filmed in mid 2021 with the help of a small, close-knit crew & cast as a visual accompaniment to her new single ‘Black Molasses’. Produced by Tim Bidwell, the track was written and performed by Scarlett and features lyrics and musical composition which focus on the large issues surrounding the health of planet earth. A poignant message delivered through a beautiful and cinematic ballad.✨
✨As writers, we must read, write and in most cases wait. The wait period is long, hard and arduous. But this period of gestation helps us to grow, so by the time the work is received we are mature enough to handle the responsibility of recognition, production and distribution 💗✨🙏🏾
✨I feel blessed that I was born just before the millennial technological age, where there was less programming of the mind and free thinking was still largely achievable. Mixed with childhood adversity and being quite a loner, this gives me an unshakeable edge – my brain is excited by the fact that I could fail, my superego knows that I’ve already won from simply trying and the ego fears failure but knows that it is inevitable occasionally as check points and lessons for development. ✨ @clareanyiamo
✨Great writers read! ✨ @clareanyiamo ✨ I’ve been reading 1-4 self help/ wealth creation 1-4 books per month since I was 18 (2003) ✨ I read 1 fiction book, 1 mindset book 📚 ✨I interpret what I’ve read in a journal as I’m reading 📖 ✍🏾
