UPCROWN FUNK - Naptural 85

HILARIOUS

Love on your curls gurls!!!

DON'T BELIEVE ME JUST WATCH!

I didn't really get the mask thing, but I'm totally into the original video. I wanna say I saw I knew it was a hit first! Before anybody on the planet. Go BRUNO MARS!

If you haven't heard of Natural85, you're missing something. She does tons of natural hair care videos. I can't totally do every single thing she does, but I wouldn't have been gotten as far as I have on hair journey. My hair likes damp styling and a little heat from an overhead dryer. (The flax seed gel isn't working for me so far.)

AVA DUVERNAY TO DIRECT BLACK PANTHER MOVIE FOR MARVEL COMICS?

Marvel has been courting Director Ava Duvernay ("Selma") to do a Black Panther Movie fo! a little while  now. Apparently, Duvernay has been stoking the rumors on twitter.  Rumors are solid enough to mention a 2018 release date. Duvernay is also rumored to be participating on an earlier Captain American film

It looks like this PANTHER movie is really happening.

It's about time.

The rumors are so solid, I think we should start picking out the star.

Hmmm...I wonder if Lupita Nyong'o could be a co-hero or at least a love interest?  That would be quite a coup after her upcoming STAR WARS role.  Let's start another rumor!

NATE PARKER PROJECT NAT TURNER REBELLION To Begin Filming

Nate Parker

"August 21st, 1831, in Virginia, Nat Turner led a slave rebellion,
hoping to inspire a slave uprising in the south. Several dozen whites
were killed before the revolt was defeated. Turner was later captured,
tried and hanged...





Nearly 184 years later, many of us are still waiting for a definitive film
based on Nat Turner's historic revolt (and not necessarily a Nat Turner
biopic) to be produced..."
