Yesterday was absolutely AMAZING I ended up on the guest list at a private charity event hosted by Dallas Austin. It was so private that no one knew the location until we were dropped off. Yep, dropped off. We had to park at a different location and get picked up by a shuttle and dropped off at the mansion. It was huge! We walked the rep carpet and had dozens of photographers taking our pictures. There was a black and white Rolls Royce parked in front and several in the back. There were free drinks being served all night long and a variety of food being served. Overall I had a great time and it was a great start to my birthday.
So, this past weekend I was invited to see a documentary entitled I am a Dream Chaser. It's a film produced by Darrick Patterson of Dapa productions about 4 individuals who moved to Atlanta to chase their dreams and are really successful the 5th person documented in the film is an Atlanta native. Famed photographer Derek Blanks (pictured above), fashion stylist and boutique owner Adrene Ashford, Tattoo Artist Miya Bailey, Dancer/Choreographer CiCi Kelly and Movie Producer Rob Hardy share their stories on how they following their dreams led to ultimate success.
Thanks to Erica for sharing her ticket with me!
I cannot tell you how much this movie inspired me. For me fashion is my truest passion and the reason I moved here. Most don't know that I'd LOVE to be a casting director for not only fashion shows but also movies and television. I know what I want, and now I need to figure out how to get there because I am surely chasing this dream. What about you? What are your dreams and what are you doing to make them your reality?
