….and it’s a wrapp! - the first-ever screening of an African Film Series at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures comes to an end! 🌟

Hello beautiful people! ❤️❤️❤️

Last night marked the 3rd night of introducing Los Angeles to the magic of ‘ECHOES OF AFRICA.’ We made HISTORY - the first-ever screening of an African Film Series at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures! 🌟

The excitement of building an audience for African cinema is palpable, and the Academy shares in that enthusiasm! We must be seen, heard, and continue to shape the global conversation in the world of film, telling our own powerful stories.

Over the past 3 days, we’ve showcased a stellar lineup of films, including ‘The Girl Who Sold the Sun,’ ‘Atlantiques,’ ‘Le Franc,’ ‘Monagambe,’ ‘Sambizanga,’ and last night, the award-winning ‘It’s Not a Burial, It’s a Resurrection!’

My heartfelt thanks to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the NAACP, and the incredible EbonyLife team for their hard work in making this happen.

On a lighter note, I got to sit in the Ted Mann Theater and carry a real live Oscar! It’s no joke - those things are heavy 😃💪🏿😃, but as they say, practice makes perfect! So, I got lots of practice yesterday! 💃🏽😃💃🏽. Remember, ‘if you think it, you can do it.’ 🏆✨

Day 2 of the Launch of Echoes of Africa, covering
At the Academy Museum - LA

Hello, beautiful people 🩷🩷🩷

I am so excited about this historic moment in our journey with African cinema. As you know from my recent posts, “ECHOES OF AFRICA,” our limited series on African film launched yesterday at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures . Today is day 2, and we had another great screening of films from our continent.

From programming success to laying the foundation for a dedicated African cinema audience, this film series is not just a collection of stories; it’s a celebration of our culture, dreams, aspirations, and the challenges we overcome 🥰

As the curator and guest programmer, I personally introduce the films to the audience every evening. It’s an incredible honor to bring African cinema to the heart of Los Angeles! 💪🏿❤️💪🏿

Walking around the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and seeing all these OSCARS made me dizzy with excitement about what is to come 💃🏽😁💃🏽

Let’s all remember, “IF YOU CAN THINK IT, YOU CAN DO IT” 🚀🚀🚀”
