Staring Gabourey Sidib, Mo’Nique & Mariah Carey, “Precious” tells the story of 16 year old Clarireece “Previous” Jones, a 16 year old African-American girl born into an abusive and treacherous life. Pregnant for the second time by her absent father, abused by physically and mentally by her mother – she lives a life no one would want. Unable to read or write, school too is a place with little solace. However, despite these pit falls she remains strong and aware of the possibilities her future still holds – despite her current situation. This story shows the journey of Precious, from the “darkness, pain and powerlessness to light, love and self-determination”

…Now, I’ll be damned! This looks like a serious movie! Oprah & Tyler Perry are involved, so that’s a good thing. And boy, even Mariah looks like she’s good in it! They do say ‘getting ugly’ in the movies brings out the best in you – she clearly has used that to her advantage! Sorry, back to the film – I’m very curious and interested in catching this movie when it’s released – it looks like a really well made film!

Peace, Love & Precious

Tanya Morgan Feat Carlita Durand‏ - ”Never Enough”

Tanya Morgan has just moved to Brooklynati and they’re already head over heels in love. Whether it’s loving two women equally or jonesin’ over a new crush, in their new song “Never Enough,” each side of the game is represented, from the pimp (Von Pea), to the simp (Donwill), and even to the family man (Ilyas). Donwill describes “Never Enough” as “the song about unconditional love and how it can seem crazy to love something THAT much, but when it’s a person sometimes it’s not as crazy as it seems.”

Peace, Love & Tanya Morgan
