I believe in the power of storytelling and come-unity as an action to drive change. As the founder of Humanity Ova Vanity (HOV) and an executive producer/producer on the RAGE film project, this collaboration with @northlovearts goes beyond the lens of production and deeper into the layers and themes of the story where the social impact lives. RAGE is more than just a film; it’s a conversation starter on topics like childhood PTSD, men’s mental health and social justice. Visit www.northlovearts.com to learn more about how you can get involved! Shout out @thedon.arts for creating a safe space for us to host our audition process.✨ #DonishaPrendergast #RAGEFilm #ExecutiveProducer #SimmerDownSundaze #HumanityOverVanity #MensMentalHealth #SocialJustice #Community #Engagement #Change
It is not said enough. You are Great. Tell them. ✨ Jahmby KoiKai @jahmbykoikai was a foundation Reggae selector in Kenya and #endowarrior When @mykalcushnie @iamdonisha @kelissamcdonald landed in Kenya on our documentary/research journey @50daysinafrika Jahmby was one of the names that kept coming up as a voice for Reggae in Africa. Her love for Reggae made her into a house hold name in Kenya and many other countries. As a DJ and sound system selector, she helped to preserve and spread the positive vibrations, the mission and the music. A strong voice advocate for the people and the culture that helped the people to heal, build community and dance together. Queen Jahmby had a different kind of love for Reggae music and Jamaican culture, more than words could describe. Love you sis. May your light continue to shine bright and defiant for the people. We remember your spirit and will continue sharing your stories with the world. Get to know the Fyah Mummah from Kenya! Mary KoiKai 1986-2024 💜 from #50daysinafrika …. The journey continues

In preserving our culture, we Rebel. We Rebel against systems of thinking and ways of being that exclude our history and identity. In honour of Haitian Independence Day, I got a chance to make Soup Joumou with the guidance of my Sistren @gogreenfashionista who also gave us a quick history lesson to shine some light on this tradition. Feed the body, mind and soul. The fight isn’t over yet. #preserveheritage #africanliberation #eachoneteachone 😘
