A Letter to Martin Scorsese

Letter to the DIRECTOR...

Hey! Today is February 23rd, and I've been up all night. In the wee hours, I prayed and read my Bible, as it's believed that these times of the day or night are when God can speak more clearly to you due to the lack of daily obligations and distractions.

Anyway, I'm about to try and update my car, even though I'm broke (as a joke ha!). So, I was going through my documents to make sure that I had my title readily available. While doing so, I found one of the papers I wrote during my time in undergrad.

It was for an elective film class I took in the Fall of 2019 when I was still a freshman. It's funny because every now and then, I think about how fun that class was and how much it sparked my interest in cinema and writing about things that matter to me. At that time, I even considered trying to get into film school to learn more about the craft, but you know, practicality and life got in the way.

Anyway, I read one of my papers, and it was about the usage of lighting in film. I remember my instructor loved showing Scorsese films, and a few of our assignments revolved around them (and Dinero, of course).

Not for nothing, I know no one will give a shit - but I thought I'd share my essay here. I thought it was pretty kick-ass, and I want to hear your thoughts. So, feel free to leave comments and talk pretty much about me *Kiss Kiss*.

F****** "A", am I right?! 😂

I Launched a WordPress Website & Deleted It Within 3 Days

I Launched a WordPress Website & Deleted It Within 3 Days WordPress.com is Pissing On Our World: Hidden Costs, Frustrating Issues, and Lack of Support. Photo by Fikret tozak on Unsplash On August 3rd, I created a WordPress website to drive traffic to my content. The content writing and freelance gurus tell us to do that, right? Those people are a conversation for another day, but the “I made $10,000 from my website in 6 months” headlines are provocative and get people interested. Besides the fact that I consider myself intelligent enough to know that all of that is nonsense, I wanted to conduct a test since that is the key to success for so many “pioneers” in the industry. I mapped out a plan: Create a homepage with a strong headline and call to action. Develop an “About Me” page that showcases my core values and personal journey. Create a “Contact” page. Showcase my blog and social media posts from different publications and media platforms. Easy enough? Not reall...

Welcome!

Hey there, and welcome to the Divine Development blog! All over the world, we are either blessed or forced (for lack of better words) to consume the thoughts and points of view of people we have never met. In creating this blog, I even acknowledge this idea as it pertains to myself. Who cares what I have to say? No one knows who I am, and seemingly I am no one of importance. Be that as it may, I realized that the purpose of this development is truly a way of accepting and releasing the challenges, and hardships I have endured in my life. As a young black woman, I am sure others can relate to experiences I have had, and am having! I want to take this journey together! I want to talk about things that not only come to my mind but things that my followers will like to discuss as well. We will talk about life, love, loss, forgiveness and so much more. I implore you to stay tuned and to join in. I want to make clear that all are welcome, but this is a safe space for women m...

Let’s Take a Trip Down Memory Lane: A Tale of “Human Nature”

Forrestchump44 - Reddit “…the world assumes white people are naturally good. So when something bad happens, it’s a good person doing a bad thing. They assume black people are naturally bad, so when something good happens, it’s only a matter of time before that animal’s true nature rears its ugly head.” — Mr. Nancy, American Gods
