AND MORE MOVIES

Hey you, I’m back again with my top 10 movies of all time that I feel you should see while you have the time. Note, these movies are based on both fiction & some, true-life stories and none of the cast members paid me for this post(Even if they did, I wouldn’t accept it because the did a phenomenal job on them and had an exceptionally beautiful frame as cast members), so if you are ready, then let’s dig in. So, last week was my top 5 fictional movies, this week are the true-life stories (non-fictional) movies of all time. Here goes. 12 Years A Slave Any movie by Brad Pitt or with Brad Pitt in it, please, sign me up. This is the first time Brad got an Academy Award for production/ directing, winning “Best Picture”, at the Oscars in 2014, and from then on, the movie went on to win 31 Awards, from BET, NAACP, BAFTA, Actors Guild and more both for Brad, the director Steve McQueen and our lovely cast members.

My Papa Sleeps! Dan "The Big Dawg" Foster

When you ask my worst day as a presenter?  Its yesterday! I did the hardest thing! I took a breaking news..... 😔💔 It was the  announcement of the death of the Man who mentored me side by side on and off radio. My journey started with him, it hurt so bad I had to break such news on air, I was a mess!💔😔My Papa! Is Gone! But every time you see me, I want you to remember him(Every person Dan mentored is a ball of happiness & humour) Ask around. Dan started my radio career 8 years ago at Inspiration 92.3 Fm.  I went to IFM as a student with a voice & ideas & he took a chance on me like so many other people whom I always mention when I tell my story. Till now, I feel his infectious happy spirit lives in me on and off air, and I share it freely & skillfully as he taught me before handing me over to Big Hommie @oscarinthecity to finish the work he started.  I am forever grateful to have worked closely with Dan " The Big Dawg" Foster.  www.viensmart.c...
