Now, you don’t know. You’ve got to find out tonight. Now, how are you doing tomorrow?How you doing, girl? I’m singing. You know, I’ve been watching keep living for a while. I’ve been waiting for my chance, my opportunity to be show. But I’m so pleased. I’m here with you with the hopes.I know. That’s right. Wait a minute. You mean to tell me you know how to work the Internet? Come on.I’ve been around the block and this year, the year two of three hundred right now, I just don’t surpass all that we have seen as planets. Mama Earth only as human.And I call on the world. Yeah. And you’re looking good. You’re looking good, baby. Oh, you know, you know the same girl. I know more of my family than going there, but you get you got it.Now, I’ll talk a little bit about your short film that’s coming out. And could you give us a little more history on what that means? Yeah, futuristic, of course. Of course.So first of all, this is not just the film. This is actually a choreopoem, a short film, in fact, maybe about 50 minutes or less. Now, for those that aren’t clear about what I mean by choreopoem, I am I am harkening to the playwright, poet, essayist, novelist and physically Sungai. He created the choreopoem. I know you probably heard of Fugo for Colored Girls who considered suicide when the rainbow was enough. Yes, that is her first choreopoem. And in that clip she gives us dance. She gives us poetry. She gives us a message answering black woman. Right, Michelle is hoping to do that same thing with Mama Rose is making sure that you have dance poetry, that we are buying techs, we are embodying our messages because this is the way that black feminists learn. This is the way that we teach, we teach and know through our embodiment. So Mama Rose is about healing. It’s for generationally. And when we say that, we mean that we’re looking at a grandmother, a mother and a child and their relationship and how they are circle the story, how they repeat, how they find ways of changing the future by understanding the past. We have so many family secrets. We all, but especially in our black communities in this Coyer point, we are revealing these secrets so that we can properly address them and have pathways to healing our pathways to liberation, liberation all our ancestors want for us.So Mom, Rose, before we get moving on with the show, I have one last question for you. Really? Come on, man.How do you mean story where I’ve met story in a dream and I have many ways of communicating now. Oh, wow. This is through VHS cassette tape and we’ll get into that later. That’s the way I communicate it. That’s throwback to a throwback right there. You know, that was back in the 80s when I learned how to put myself, you know, but I also in my spiritual realm have learned how to communicate via dreams. And I thought her out. I wanted to make sure that she was ready to rise to the occasion. She listened to me as she slowly began to write my story. Oh, she’s been writing for over two years. I know that they’re very excited to share it.Oh, yeah, I just got chills listening to that. So thank you so much for just having the time to be he...
