I grew up loving storytelling — books, magazines, TV, films, and conversations in my family homes from St. Croix to Des Moines, Iowa. But moving images — Mahogany, Roots, The Wiz, Fame and, most importantly Looking For Langston, moved my spirit and touched my soul. When @misscortes called me and asked me to work my on a documentary about the history of hip hop and fashion through the lens of women, I said: Yes! Yes! To sit at the seat of this profound storyteller and learn the art of documentary filmmaking was a blessing. I used my foundational experience of marrying hip hop and fashion during my tenure as Fashion Director and Editor in Chief of @vibemagazine and my love for storytelling to help this all womxn crew to tell the important story The Remix: Hip Hop X Fashion which opened @tribeca Film Festival this week. @misahylton was the perfect subject for the main character. I then reached out to my friends — @mimivaldes @bevysmith @dapperdanharlem @kerbito @joanmorgan @museummammy @nikkiogun @clairesulmers — to speak truth to power. Thank you Lisa and @farahx for giving me the opportunity to learn and grow as a creative. Misa thank you for trusting me and for sharing our Christian journey together through this process. I am humbled to be a Co-Producer and Writer of a doc premiering at Tribeca out the gate. This is the beginning of a new chapter for me and I am grateful to be able to tell stories of the marginalized and the muted. This is our time! #TheRemix #ThankYouGod #Vision #Storytelling #DreamBig #LightsCameraAction #NativeSon #WorldOfWilbekin #WOW
