“Countless black boys fly around, celebrating, in the jubilee. They are

celebrating their blackness. They are celebrating their humanity. They are
celebrating life. A beautiful site: breathtaking, awe-inspiring. A crowd of black
boys, one of every kind, flying around boundless bliss: it's magical. And, every

boy is named. Every boy is honored. Every boy is free.”

You never know why certain people come into your life. It is categorized a

reason, a season and a lifetime. Doing this interview with TaNisha Fordham
writer, director and content creator of the short film My Nephew Emmett.

She was so excited because she was here the weekend of the Oscars to

achieve what every great Producer wants to achieve and that is to win an
Oscar. I have to say that is definitely like the ultimate goal for TaNisha but it

is apparent that it would be nice to be acknowledged for the work that she

and her staff have done on this project.
