You couldn't make up that people were going to storm the Capitol. You couldn't make up some of the things that our former president said. So pop culture has had to be a balance and a distraction. But I also think that pop culture is a mirror into our soul, and it is the thing that keeps us healthy. It's just like a good friendship. You begin to have relationships with these stars that you watchm and you follow them over the years.
And so I think that's the beauty of pop culture. I watch a really wide array of things; on one end, it'll be Vice News , and on the other end, a great movie. I loved the movie Sylvie's Love that came out in December.
I loved that movie because it felt like a movie that was showing my family in the 50s and 60s, and you don't see these movies about the African American experience that show the elegance that is part of our everyday life. When you normally see Black folks, you see them in the South, you see them as slaves, you see them as poor sharecroppers or something like that, but in this film there were also people who, regardless of their station in life, were dressed with dignity and elegance, and were beautiful.
So for the first time in a long time, I saw that, and it made me so happy. It was just a love story about regular ol' Black folk.
This job is one of the best jobs on the planet, and I love it and I'm into it. But in the past, I've seen the inequities that are around in the world. And when it comes to travel, I've noticed that I go to these places, and I've never known the history that is so important to not only African Americans, but everybody.
I've been to London on Westminster Bridge at least 30 times. I didn't know until my last trip that if I turned around and looked the other direction, away from Big Ben, there was a statue of Mary Seacole, the most famous Black person in U.
Her story is fascinating, because she is what Florence Nightingale was to nursing, and her story has been lost. I'm so glad there's a movie coming out about her. But there are places like that all over the world. So it's amazing to learn these stories, and it makes me feel whole when I get to learn about these things and share them with others. It's the same thing with HipHollywood. And while the mainstream folks didn't cover it, it was important for our community.
That is why there is HipHollywood. A post shared by Travel Coterie travelcoterie. I come from a place where you can be angry and you can argue about things, but I also have to understand that ET has the biggest stories in the world.
And there are only 22 minutes for ET. We can't cover every thing and every story, because we have the biggest stars in the world. That's not a failing by ET , it's just the reality. There are some other things that are smaller that aren't gonna make it to the top of the food chain. But I do think that it's important that as an African American in this position, that I put my money where my mouth is. That's why I think it's important that I don't complain about anything, but I lead the way and am willing to put the time and effort into these other projects, too.
