This has been a year of wins and lost but this week we focus on the Best of 2011.  Here we feature the best efforts and intentions that inspired us to bring forth our A game.

Artists gift us with wonderful stories through their music, dance and writing. Here Nora Chipamaurie tells the story of her youth in dance; from the young to the old she enlists dancers of all ages to tell her compelling story in this short featured in the third season of AfroPoP: The Ultimate Cultural Exchange. Her story will inspire you to move your dancing feet.

Best of 2011 - "The Medium is the Message?"


This has been a year of wins and lost but this week we focus on the Best of 2011.  Here we feature the best efforts and intentions that inspired us to bring forth our A game.


“Anything can be beautiful when you look at it with love”  What a wonderful message for the new year.  Thanks to the Gibbs sisters of Adopted by Aliens who discovered this gem of a mural created by German graffiti artists, Herakut and Case on the corner of 42nd and Vermont, in the heart of South Central Los Angeles.  “The beauty and message of the mural beckoned us to round the corner and lavish it with photographs.”

Best of 2011- SULE AND THE CASE OF THE TINY SPARKS (U.S.)



This has been a year of wins and lost but this week we focus on the Best of 2011.  Here we feature the best efforts and intentions that inspired us to bring forth our A game.

Congratulations to the Gibbs sisters, Shawnee and Shawnelle for winning the Best Animated Short Film in 2011 at the Montreal International Black Film Festival for SULE AND THE CASE OF THE TINY SPARKS (U.S.).  Sule is based on a proverb with a humanitarian message inspired by Nelson Mandela.  In the opinion of the jury: “The story of this film is as magnificent as it is inspiring. Proof that a small short can depict huge and beautiful moments.” Earlier the sisters created a mini series called Adopted by Aliens, see their blog.  Now they are working on a graphic novel for young girls. So planning on seeing more of them in 2112.
