In this interview with Milford Edwards Sr. (Ras Imel), I share some of my journey of why I wrote All Mind: The Influencers, a short screenplay that received semi-finalist status at the 2022 Bridgeport Film Festival! I share about Why Beyond the Story?

“Now once I stop looking outside to give me strength
Inside I became my own battery
Super charge anatomy
You would think I’m moving for the calories
Every day they try to pick mind for the strategy
How on earth do I have capacity..” Call Me Ace
I was asked the following question during a presentation I did earlier this year. I put together this clip to share a little of how learning history, gaining awareness, letting go of the story of childhood misfortune helps me to move forward.
“I have also been called one thing and then another while no one really wished to hear what I called myself.” - Ralph Ellison The Invisible Man
“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” ― Viktor E. Frankl
Getting to know myself, not words or stories that people provide to me, but learning and relearning for myself. These life lessons validates my spirit from what I experience. It is a continuous journey. I am not unique; we are all able to get to know ourselves well. There are myriads of ways to get that done. I am sharing my story because many other people shared their stories with me, and we keep on moving forward doing this life thing together. Still, we are more than what happened to us!
MOVEMENT IS NECESSARY
I've been constantly learning this lesson of how necessary movement is for overall health and wellbeing. I started and stopped so many times. I stayed focus even though sporadically over the years. In 2019 I feel like I found my groove with movement. I've moved into the new year with a positive attitude and energy to keep moving forward with movement.
"When you learn late pass it on to others so they could learn early, it's a step process." Russel Simmons
Learning it's about the Presence not about the Pretty. Learning from many teachers and getting to understand stillness and being, it could be driving in the car or laying on the grass, just staying aware of what is happening inside and around me. The best thing is getting to "know thyself."
In This Moment is sharing my story in spoken word. It is about moving forward, learning about myself, family history and life sometimes very difficult circumstances. Consciously unlearning the things that I unconsciously learned that defeated me from having my best human experience what that means for me. Holding on to hope and possibilities.
