Home Actor Platon HD Instagram Photos and Wallpapers May 2019 Platon Instagram - quincy jones. “I have been thinking a lot lately about Quincy Jones. I spent the day with him at his LA home back in the late 90’s. John Kennedy Jr. asked me to photograph the most generous philanthropists in Hollywood, and Quincy was on the list. His home was a temple of cultural history - evidence that this legendary game changer had consistently defied musical and racial categorization. The list of his collaborators is extraordinary - Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Ray Charles, Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Herbie Hancock, Frank Sinatra and Michael Jackson. Just think - it was a Quincy Jones recording with Sinatra and Basie that became the first piece of music ever to be played on the moon. Just think - it was a Quincy Jones recording with Michael Jackson that became the best selling album of all time. All my heroes broke social barriers but did so with artistic merit, love, and optimism. I call it, GREATNESS OF HEART. But honestly, it takes faith and unremitting zeal to step out and fight for racial fairness and dignity. So I asked for some advice: “What did you say to the old guard, the outdated power brokers who were unwilling to give your talent a chance?” Quincy’s glowing smile morphed into the face of determination. He replied, “Not one drop of my self worth depends on your acceptance of me.” I had tapped into this man’s FORCE FACTOR. This close up picture was taken one second later. Eventually, it was time to hug this legend goodbye - I couldn’t help feeling emotional. Quincy put his hand on my shoulder and said, “man, you must be a musician.” It doesn’t get better than that. Quincy Jones, I salute you.”

Platon Instagram – (1/2) alina diaz. “This is a picture about exploitation, perception, and above all, courage. THESE WOMEN are all farm workers in the USA. The lady on the left has her hand on her heart – she is my friend, my hero, and her name is Alina Diaz. Alina has dedicated her life to fighting for the rights of women who are undocumented farm workers in the United States. At the time this picture was taken, it was estimated that 50% of all farm workers in the US were undocumented. Colleagues of mine, in the human rights community, have urged me not to show this picture when campaigning for immigration reform. They claim, that the two masked women on the right look menacing, and play into the perception that undocumented immigrants are bandits and criminals. I AM HORRIFIED BY THIS NOTION. I know THESE WOMEN and nothing could be further from the truth – they are not in America to threaten or steal – NO – they are in fact the most vulnerable members of society, living in the shadows of injustice. If you work in the fields you are supposed to wear projective clothing to guard against poisonous pesticides – THESE WOMEN are given nothing – they cover their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs and cotton bandanas. Their clothes are disheveled – baggy and masculine – THESE WOMEN have learnt from experience not to wear fitted, attractive, and feminine garb – it sexually arouses male predators in the field. THESE WOMEN face sexual harassment and sexual violence on a daily basis. Should we allow the architects of intolerance to shape our human rights narrative? – No my leaders – we must dare to challenge tribal perception first – only then, can we confidently humanize the data. I am a man who lives and thrives in a great city called THE BIG APPPLE. A city nicknamed after a fruit that abundantly grows in it’s surrounding farms and fields. To the courageous women who pick our apples, I salute you. Standby for Alina’s story….”
Platon Instagram – dr. denis mukwege. I am so proud of my friend and hero, Dr. Denis Mukwege. The Nobel Peace Peace Prize Committee have named him the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, along with Yezidi Activist and Survivor Nadia Murad. In 1998, Dr. Mukwege built Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, South Kivu province, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was set up to help women give safe, natural child births in a poor region, one of the doctor’s first patients was a woman who had been raped with extreme violence. He treated her successfully hoping this was a horrific isolated case – tragically it was not. To date, the Panzi Hospital has treated over 52,000 survivors of rape as a weapon of war. In 2016, I stood at the gates of Panzi Hospital with my friend. We made a promise to each other that we would give the heroic women and girls he has treated an enhanced platform of leadership. I was compelled to amplify their voices to the world. With this post, I present to you the trailer for my first film, “My Body is Not a Weapon.” How honored I am to be of service to the doctor and his mission. Dr. Denis Mukwege, I salute you.”
