TARDY REVIEWER: MOVIE: The Hate You Give

The Hate You Give
Release Date: 19th October 2018
This movie started for me when Khalil walked into that party. Not only because I love fine boys but because I knew he would stand for an entire community even before he reached for that hairbrush and ended on the ashphalt, bathed in his own blood. Tupac's gospel was preached through out the movie. If you teach your kids to hate other kids or be wary of them because of the color of their skin you will have police officers ready to shoot at the slightest sign of danger or illusion of danger. Another strength I noticed is the storytelling prowess. Each character was developed individually. Khalil's character may have been shot but he lived throughout the movie. His death shook Starr out of her mundane, mind numbing routine of been two versions of herself and she lives up to her name when she could finally speak up. She stops been the safe black girl and becomes confident in her heritage. She finally becomes one with her community without compromising her education, sanity and everything she holds dear. My heart bled when the police officer walked, I felt like smashing something and had to keep reminding themself that the protest wasn't real to stop myself from joining the march. But it is an awareness of who is valued and who should thread carefully. If you are reading this and expecting constructive criticism or something clinically delivered I am sorry to disappoint you. Because I write from a place. a sad place. Nobody should be placed in a certain box and judged continually. Racial discrimination is a global problem and needs to be dealt with not with a sympathetic sigh, a double tap on a touching post and brilliant arguments. We should ask the question "we have a problem, what's the solution?"
If you haven't seen this great movie you should. As far as adaptations go this delivered.

LIFE AS IT IS- VOWS

Vow's When he approached home, he was full of remorse. All he felt within him was sadness. And apologies, all he had constructed on his way back home. He was going to start with the gift he had bought and then go down on his knees. He would plead until she forgave him and this time he promised himself, this time things would be alright. He opened the door with care. Moving quietly, not doing anything that would disturb her. When he entered, it was silent. Their house had never been silent. It was either she was cooking while humming to herself or listening to her favorite artists. Songs of Lana Del Rey and Halsey. Most times she would sing along and one couldn't help but feel the longing in her voice. Those times, he had felt sobered. Not knowing how to help, not matter how much he had tried. This time it was not what he expected, and even though he didn't want to admit it to himself, it felt peaceful. Once upon a time, their life had been like a fairy tale. N...

FASHION TABLE WITH STEPHANIE: HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASIC MEASUREMENTS

 HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE BASIC MEASUREMENTS  So last week when talking on how to get the perfect fit, the first thing on our list was "taking accurate measurements". Being the nice and helpful person I am, I've taken the time out to list the basic measurements we need for a simple dress and how to take these measurements accurately. Ideally, you should be measured wearing only your undergarments.  However, a close-fitting clothing will be fine.  Do NOT measure yourself or a client that's wearing jeans, sweats, or other bulky clothing.  It DOES make a difference fam. The body is made of soft tissue, so it can be a bit difficult to know exactly how tight to pull the tape around the body. The tape should be a bit snug, but not tight - it should not "dig in" or make an indentation in the body.  It should not be loose, either!  Just wrap the tape around the area of the body being measured and hold it in place.  You should be able to put a finger behind th...
