As a screenwriter and film critic, I have a love/hate relationship with Tyler Perry Productions. No, I will not elaborate any further in this blog (lol). However, Why Did I Get Married and Why Did I Get Married Too have a special place in my heart. Again, no, I will not elaborate any further in this blog (lol). With the third installment of this storyline coming to Netflix soon, I thought this was a great time for me to fully analyze these films and share my unpopular opinion

Pride is not bigger than the program, although it thinks it is. Jonah 1-4 We often tease that we do not want to be on God’s tough soldiers list anymore. How tired and depleted we are while being obedient to God’s commands and will. However, let's talk about our pride and how it likes to interfere with God’s affairs. I’ve said it before that most of the time God will send us places and give us orders that almost always go against the culture (ways of the world

The “Manna” Season Scriptures: Exodus 16, Joshua 5 The manna season: The season of lack while lacking nothing. The wilderness season is often cited. The season where you have to rely on God and endure unflattering and uncomfortable situations and living conditions. The season where you are being delivered from distractions, despair, or devastation. The transitional season where you are aspiring to your promise. Your promised land. The flow of milk and honey.

The year is 1997, and Soul Food has hit theaters. Personally, I remember when this movie was released. I remember the talk and excitement that came with this film. I specifically remember being in the hair salon and hearing all the adults share their plans and intentions of going to the movies that weekend. Then I remember the soundtrack. There is no way I can hear any Boys II Men song without thinking of Soul Food. So, I will give credit when credit is due. This film is a cu

If you follow my TikTok or keep up with my blogs, then you should know that I am the biggest Girlfriends fan. I am still disappointed that we did not get a proper series finale and equally disappointed that we didn’t get to see Toni again (even if just for one episode). However, as a dedicated fan and screenwriter, I’ve decided to put the pen to paper and draft an outline of how I think or wished the final season would have been for one of the best Black sitcoms. The unansw

Why Just Wright Got a Pass on Being a Love Story The beauty of revisiting a film decade later is to view it matured eyes. When Just Wright was released in 2010, I was an underdeveloped twenty-one-year-old. Today, I am thirty-six, so my perspective has wildly evolved. I remember leaving the theater with my then-boyfriend after watching this movie and thinking this was a really great love story. I was so impressed by Common and Queen Latifah’s performance and truly thought th

How does a paperback consumer survive in a society where everything is converted into digital content? I remember my first marketing strategy meeting with one of my book publishers and how they insisted on pushing the Kindle version of my book. I remember feeling as though they were out of touch with my targeted demographic. I wanted to scream, "My girls buy the physical book," but I remained silent and nodded in agreement. When my first sales report was released, as I predic
