🌟 Choosing Your Path: Lessons from Nicole Kidman 🎬 I recently came across a fascinating video where Reese Witherspoon talks about Nicole Kidman's early career decisions, particularly in choosing directors who shaped her journey for the better. It's a powerful reminder that we, especially as #femalebreeders in our fields, have the ability to choose where we #investourtalents and who we entrust our #careers to. Just like Nicole, we can strive for #fruitfuloutcomes and #rewardingexperiences by carefully selecting the #companies and #leaders we align ourselves with. While it may not always be easy, pushing boundaries and being proactive in our career choices can lead to promotions, better mental health, and ultimately finding our place of #truefulfillment. Let's empower each other to detect early when a workplace isn't right for us and continue seeking environments that support our growth and aspirations. Here's to making bold choices and reaping the best fruits of our labor! #Leadership #CareerDevelopment #WomenInLeadership #Empowerment #CareerAdvice #womenbreeders #womenplantbreeders #femalebreeders

I love Jerry Seinfeld. Again, he has shown us the power of wit and wisdom when faced with ignorance. During his Melbourne show last night, an anti-Israel idiot tried to disrupt the performance. But Seinfeld, ever the master of comedy, turned the situation on its head once more! Seinfeld’s brilliant response highlights just how absurd these tactics are. If your grand strategy involves shouting at comedians, you might want to rethink your approach. And the truth is I am sure most rational and fair minded people have had enough of the empty slogans and pointless disruptions. If you want to make a real difference, put down the placard and pick up a book. Understand the history, the people, and the real issues at play. Protest by making informed arguments, not by heckling entertainers. Let’s elevate the conversation, rise above ignorance, and strive for real solutions. Because at the end of the day, it's not the loudest voice that changes the world, but the wisest.

BLACK HOLLYWOOD Lately all I’ve been hearing about, reading about is the unhappy, unsatisfied black actor that isn’t getting the role that they’re acting talent commands or the paycheck with seven or eight digits. It’s so obvious this is still happening in Hollywood. That glass ceiling still exists for some that isn’t classified a (A) lister in Hollywood. By the way, what’s a (A) lister? It’s certainly not a struggling actor trying to find work just to pay the bills and keep a roof over their heads. The few that’s Hollywood’s (A) lister that has a (NAME) that rings dollar signs for the movie producer isn’t extending the olive branch. I certainly don’t see it, except for nepotism. That’s fair? They all do it in some form or fashion. It’s a Hollywood standard for making it in Hollywood. I’m a screenwriter, so I wouldn’t know anything about that. How Hollywood decides on who makes it and who doesn’t. When I write a screenplay, I include more than one race of characters. So it is written. The pay scale is uneven in Hollywood along with opportunities for black actors to showcase their talent, unless you’re on that list of money makers. They goes that dam letter again. How many black actors get a starring role, that when the credits roll at the beginning of movie his or her name is seen first. We can count them on our fingers. A very short list. The chosen few. I say that not to discredit their god even talent. You’d have to be blind not to see it. WHY? Hollywood isn’t the only game in Tinseltown. Black Hollywood is coming sooner than later. The independent film maker has shown this. That’s the word, INDEPENDENT, that means you’re NOT NEEDED ANYMORE. TURNER MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT
