Stephen Hill Instagram – Aloha on the purple carpet If you notice, the beautiful Christina Lei is missing from this first photo. I had the intention of gifting it to someone in particular, and when she walked right past me at the after-party I gently tapped her on the shoulder, pointed to the button I was wearing, and told her the history of the Christina lei. I took off the lei and proudly placed it around her neck. It was a beautiful moment between @successful_writer and I, and one of my favorite memories of the night. It was so inspiring to bear witness to and partipate in the magnificence of the newest addition to @thecolorpurple canon. I stood on that carpet with Oprah, Spielberg, and Tyler Perry, and the list just goes on and on. To know that it all started with a thought and the stroke of Alice Walker’s pen… Incredible. To top it all off… I brought my aunt Pat with me. She’s given me a roof over my head, put food in my belly, and given me a car to get around in for so many years whenever I was in LA. I love you, Aunty❤️. She loved the lei I gave her too! Go see The Color Purple! 💜💜💜 @wbpictures @oprah @tylerperry @amblin @blitzambassador @daniebb3 @tasiasword @kingofbingo @coreyhawkins @hermusicofficial @tiffanyelleburgess @destinycasting #thecolorpurple #intheaterschristmasday #bringerofthelight
