We have to ask these questions.” The triage nurse was more salt than sugar, yet there was something about her stoic demeanor that made Scott feel safe, as if his story mattered. Shame and embarrassment aside, his experience with reporting injuries sustained at the hands of his wife was nothing short of offensive. Vapid accusations that were cleverly disguised as questions of concern proved the norm, despite glaringly obvious signs of physical abuse...

This statement overlooks my initial expression of optimism, versus happiness - " my optimism regarding the inclusion of Black writers, producers, directors, etc. is palpable." I am optimistic that the Black producers, directors and writers who DO subscribe to the notion that awards (Grammy, Oscars, etc.) are markers of success will use this REACTIVE strategy as a catalyst. The fact is obvious that Black culture is the nucleus for creativity in America; it's appropriated, borrowed, stolen and bartered. However, if society is demanding change and an organization actually responds in a manner that is conducive, THAT move is one that inspires optimism that we, as a society, are evolving in a more productive direction. TBH, I would like to see more 40+ year old, Black females on-screen who look like, talk like, act like and understand the complexities of being a Black woman. When you're too old for Insecure and How To Get Away With Murder exacerbates your PTSD, there isn't much left to enjoy on streaming services. S/N: Shout out to Nia Long for her performance in The Fatal Affair. So, yes, PLEASE enact mandates for inclusivity... I am here for it, 100%. Per MR Dictionary: Optimism (noun) 1. a doctrine that this world is the best possible world 2. an inclination to put the most favorable construction upon actions and events or to anticipate the best possible outcome Happiness (noun) 1. a state of well-being and contentment 2. a pleasurable or satisfying experience I am rarely content, if ever, thus being "happy" is not a fair description. Also, I have a table that I share with friends, family, peers and the like, to elevate their voices and stories... We eatin' good too! Stop by and order a plate on the house at owshowe.com.

The Academy Establishes Representation and Inclusion Standards for Oscars Eligibility I must admit, this is a move that the industry should have examined long before 2020; regardless, my optimism regarding the inclusion of Black writers, producers, directors, etc. is palpable. Does this feel like Hollywood's stab at affirmative action to you? I've included the film eligibility standards per the Academy; source docs are located on the official website, Oscars.org.

Error.

During the pandemic, I began writing about everything in my environment, as well as the things that we don't see. The initial goal of E.A./2020 was an engaging period piece, yet it metamorphosed into dystopia. Butler's synopsis definitely caught my eye... Thank you for the guidance, per use. - O.W. Showe owshowe.com

@Troy I read the synopsis of Ms Butler's book, and was thoroughly impressed; how I ended up with an inclination towards the dystopian genre is beyond me. Regardless, in an attempt to begin migrating from the "big" book seller, I was wondering if you had a few suggestions as to where fans of e-book publications may be able to direct their purchases to support Black owned publishers/distros? After reading hardcovers, we typically share the books in little free libraries thoughout the area, which is well intentioned, yet doesn't align with our goals for Mother Many thanks! - O.W.

We've been on the hunt to locate her since 06 August. The energy and drive to find her alive resonates during the production process. Have you ever been ravenous for something, to the point where you look down (at your feet, legs, keyboard, etc.) and wonder, "who the hell is doing all this?" I've been "in the zone," athletically, professionally and even personally with friendships and the like. This is different. By far the most viewed, anticipated series on owshowe.com; I was floored by the response. If you knew how many people asked, "is this real?" during a time in which I was asking myself the same question, it would prove startling. Thank you for the kind words, I was a huge fan of "Snap Judgement" until Glenn and crew passively disbanded, or at least, began to rehash old episodes. Now, we've not only thrown our hat into the ring, but we got the stories, muscle and time to back it up! I see your hustle and respect the grind, Mr. D. Now, if I can only find a way to parody the back-and-forth between you, Troy and Pio on the other boards. SMH. Y'all are hilarious!! Stay safe, and share the enthusiasm with ONE friend. - O.W.

You misunderstood, I don't ask permission nor opinion for ANYTHING in the way of creativity after conducting business hours with God; it was employed as a colloquialism.

I would pay to hear the opinion of the author, Chancellor Williams, regarding the surcharge. Obviously, price gouging hits the most underserved communities hardest; the cities where “little free libraries” are nowhere to be found. We have this convo each week; the message is clear and abhorrent. However, if the author saw fit to sign the contract with price point surge projections, all hands involved are a bit soiled. The only way that this will cease is if the author intervenes or wishes to change course. This is the same author who wants to entertain readers and receive financial compensation. My stance isn’t placing the onus on the creator, rather teaching people to build their own platforms for complete creative control. If I give my basketball to a bully and they take over the court and start charging people to play pickup games, can I really be mad? Well, yes, because they have my ball, but no, because the culture just shifted and new rims, courts, etc are in the making. The problem arises when the bully exploits the community, fails to beautify the courts/city and just leaves everyone dusty, thirsty and agitated. This position can be countered with Amz employment data; yet, this is a literature sight, so, in Rome. Interestingly enough, I initially wished to produce EA as a free ebook, due to the fact that the stories were from the people in my environment. However, a bug got into my ear and said “no one respects free,” a sentiment that I’ve heard for decades. To this, I say... Capitalism is what it is, however, if the community, as a whole does not benefit, how can that possibly be advantageous to anyone other than the invisible bully, aka ‘The Gooch’? *show ya age
