Kai Soremekun Inspiring, Empowering, Innovative CHICK! 

I was the tender age of 9 and in the 5th grade when I first met Kai.  She was a "Big Sister of America" to a childhood friend of mine and allowed us to have a slumber party at her house.  I remembered thinking, WOW she's so pretty I would love to have a big sister like her!  Kai cooked for us, which was delicious by the way, yummy ;) We played Beautyshop, I mean it was all-around "GOOD TIMES" for a bunch of young girls.  I especially had a good time having always wanted a big sister myself.  Throughout the years I would remember that night and how she also came to speak to our group G.E.M.S. (which stood for Girls in Entertainment, Mathematics, and Sciences) genuinely wondering how she was doing. 

Fast forward years and years later to 2010 and I decided to look her up. I could only go off of her first name Kai because it was all I had to go on along with an autographed picture.  Well that's not a lot of help but then it struck me as my eyes scrolled down.  This was a cast photo for the show she was on called Medicine Ball!  All I had to do was IMDB the show!  I went to IMDB and typed in Medicine Ball----FAIL.  She was on this show however, the information was not fully updated.  Something in me still wanted to see what she was up to so from what I could remember of her last name, I typed in all the possibilities I could configure paired with her first name and the word actress. VOILA!!!!! I found her full name which then led me to her web series CHICK and her blog.  She is such a dynamic WOMAN!(Writer, Producer, Actor, and Director)  She would have to be pretty AMAZING for a 5th grader to remember her for years and years to come.  She made quite an impression on me then and she is still doing BIG BIG THINGS today!  Kai has posted her perils, challenges and triumphs in her blog and multiple web-series on Youtube.  I have posted a link to her blog below as well as the link to her latest entry.  If you have time please check out her web series CHICK on Youtube which has resonated deeply in my heart.  I have watched this series multiple X multiple times and I luv every single moment of it.  I will also post a link to the web-series below.  I am looking forward to working with Kai in the very near future and so appreciate her reaching out to me and offering help on my projects!!!

Evolution is like a spiral mountain...You keep facing the same view but you see it completely different, at a different angle each time you look-Unknown

Courage...take a dose full with a meal every day!!!!!!!

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." -Anais Nin (1903-1977)

This quote was given to me via Peter Bergman.  As a production assistant on the show "The Young and The Restless," I was constantly delivering scripts to various actors.  Every time I went into Peter's room I would read the inspirational quotes he has on his wall.  Well this quote happened to be one of them and I have since decided to live my life as best as possible in accordance to it.

One day in class, an Executive Producer came to speak.  This particular Executive Producer has worked with Oprah, Mark Burnett, Tyra, and has recently began overseeing a new production.  My internship was ending and I had since sacrificed most of my savings and reduced my hours to part time at my job in order to put my best foot forward during my internship.  When the class was almost over and my teacher asked if there were any more questions, I raised my hand.  Although I was nervous, I proceeded to let the executive producer know that my internship was ending and I would love the opportunity to give her my resume in hopes of getting an interview.  The Producer stopped for a moment and laughed to herself.  She thought I had guts to ask in front of the whole class.  It's like they say, "you always miss 100% of the shots you don't take" Right!  Well guess what?  I got an interview to be a production assistant to the under an Associate Producer and Senior Producer.  Now if you know me, you know that becoming an Executive Producer is one of my missions in life.  As a production assistant working so closely with these producers, I would be groomed and developed to also become a Producer.  It was one of the best moves I have made in my college career and all it took was a little bit of courage.

This particular Executive Producer was the last guest speaker of the semester and not once had any one of my classmates ever asked ANY guest speaker for an interview or to even give them their resume.  Of course when I did there were many hisses and dirty looks but who cares!  My life will expand because of my courage to be better!  I may or may not get this job but I have what it takes to make things happen in my life.  I hope that everyone reading this will also take more chances in getting what they want out of life.  I implore you to take a dose full of courage everyday!

The waiting game: Production doesn't start up until the end of July so I have quite a while to wait for an official answer but I am trusting God for favor.  AMEN!

Ooops I totally forgot to update this!  The Producer got me a job! I started in July...Sorry about that LOL
