Black&Sexy BABY!

Ok so technically this will be the third thing that I've posted tonight so sorry for polluting your dashes to the 6 people who actually follow me. But I had no choice I am visiting this blog of mine for the first time in about a year and I had all of these unpublished posts about how lame my life is and I decided that that information is so irrelevant now and such a reflection of how far i've come that I don't mind if you read it! Reading them also made me want to write another post. This is my letter to my college self, you'd be soo proud!

Soo, yes I live in California just like I wanted to. I did CY a ten month program where you slave away for children making posters and spreading joy in boots and in one of the most unnecessarily straining draining and frustrating programs possible, while tutoring and forming relationships with little people. It was terrible and wonderful, and i'm ecstatic its over and completely devastated in the least tragic way possible. Yes,  an orchestra of contradicting feelings. Did I hate it? Did I love it? I don't think anyone knows how they feel about a year like that. I do know that i'm not indifferent there are certainly tons of feelings involved. BUT this is NOT what this post is about or else I would have titled it "WTF just happened?" This post is about Black&Sexy baby!

Yours truly (that's me) works at Blackandsexy TV and even though everyone removed from the black web series world hands you a massive side eye when you tell them where you work...we ADORE it! For like 75 million different reasons that I don't care to go into in much detail. But let me tell you about how sometimes when I'm "at work" I look at myself and say "hey bitch! how tf did you land this bomb ass gig? and why are they keeping you around?" And while I don't know the answer to either of those questions I'm going to ride this ride until the wheels fall off and since this company is very young these wheels ain't coming off anytime soon. Out of fear that someone worth mentioning may one day stumble across this I won't say any names or be too much of B&S groupie, but I thought it was important to note that for the first time in your life you are considering a career in just one field. You are staying in LA for more than just one year, which was what the life plan was, hop all around the globe with no real purpose until someone catches you and gets you pregnant. And as sad as I am to let the globe trotter part of my life plan go, i'm sure I'll find a way to reintroduce it in the future. For now web series production, behind the scenes; that's what we are moving towards. Maybe someday you'll be an executive somebody worth mentioning when Blackandsexy blows up. who knows? For now your hanging with the big dogs of youtube web series and I love it and I love them as people first and for what they do which is merely a reflection of the types of people they are and I am beyond excited to be an active participant in the movement. Broke or rich, they got themselves a ride or die chick in me :)
