Ava DeVernay<br />
“Live the<br />
Dream, We are<br />
the dream!”<br />
Ava DeVernay NAACP image awards speech accented an amazing night. What makes<br />
her award so interesting is that she is a director and not your typical in front of the<br />
camera entertainer. She was named entertainer of the year and during her acceptance<br />
speech, took a moment to speak to the black community about using our<br />
creativity to create change.<br />
DeVernay indicated that entertainment black power players are on the rise. As Du-<br />
Vernay accepted her award, she lauded other black artists from the stage naming writers<br />
and directors such as Shonda Rhimes, Gina Prince-Bythewood, Kenya Barris, Lena<br />
Waithe, Black Panther’s Ryan Coogler, and more! She touts that "We can say we were<br />
here when all this gorgeous creative art is happening, and that we support it. We are<br />
lifting each up that as Dr. Martin Luther King has “Live the Dream, We are the Dream!”<br />
In the last several years black media creativity has exploded. From accolades for academy<br />
awards, to hit TV shows, to blockbuster movies, black creativity has gone mainstream<br />
and Ava DeVernay is one of those mavericks on the cusp of making a major<br />
difference in the entertainment field. Now movie studios, television content providers<br />
are now seeking out black talent and creatives to deliver compelling cinema and content<br />
with great fan fair.<br />

Never Get Discouraged,<br />
Think positive!<br />
<strong>Glamour</strong> <strong>Life</strong><br />
There isn’t a single person who<br />
doesn’t experience hardship and<br />
even trauma in their. <strong>Life</strong> can be<br />
hard, from growing up in poverty to<br />
hunger, to violence to maintaining a<br />
job and there are a litany of things<br />
that cause stress. The good thing is<br />
even if supposed “bad” things are always<br />
happening you can “choose”<br />
how you respond to them. There will<br />
always be challenges because that is<br />
what life is about, but keep in mind<br />
with the challenges there comes<br />
times of happiness.<br />
You got to believe that the times of<br />
happiness will continue and deliver<br />
what you want. It all comes down to<br />
having a positive attitude. Not letting<br />
things that cause stress to take over<br />
your mind. Be determined to make<br />
negative circumstances and events a<br />
learning moment. And then put them<br />
behind you and focus on being positive<br />
and what’s the next amazing adventure.<br />
Never get discouraged because if you are diligently focusing on the positives they will eventually<br />
return and be at the front of your life. Always look at bad circumstances as temporary<br />
and believe that God will always deliver happiness no matter where you are in life. Make a<br />
commitment to be positive and happy all the time even in hard times.<br />
