Issa Rae Presents #ShortFilmSunday
daya e dodson

I have always been a lover of films. Anything for the arts I totally love. All this viewing is from the works of Netflix of course. One of my favorite writers/directors is an extremely talented woman named Issa Rae. She is best known as being the creator of a Youtube series called Awkward Black Girl and going on the create, write, and star in her HBO hit Insecure ( which is one of my favorite shows).

She also works on many other projects one of them being Short Film Sunday. Short Film Sundays is content Issa Rae has on her channel where she invites filmmakers to submit and be featured on the channel. So if you are into film making I would check that out by the way.

Some of my honorable mentions as followed are:

Dream

Sinking Ships by Marian Mereba.

Issa Rae also has a section within Short Film Sundays Called "We Are-"

The "we are" parts changes for each film being

We Are - Artists

and

We Are - Friends

Both are pretty interesting films. But furthermore, if you just explore the Short Film Sundays in the world of Youtube you will find all sorts of content. The films may not be super active like a action pack motion picture but they are deep and meaningful. They just display the everyday life of people of color in different scenarios.

So if you are just looking for deep content to explore on Youtube I highly recommend checking Issa Rae's Short Film Sunday out. It is well worth it!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
