Another year of partnership with Dream Garden, Inc. is in the books! Words can't describe the honor and privilege it was to have spent the past seven weeks capturing the growth, energy, and wonder of these young, beautiful souls. As always, I have compiled some of my footage taken to produce their annual highlight video...well, this year, it's more of a "short film." It was my original intent to create another 1-to-2 minute highlight, but after doing some "experimenting" with the parachute on this past Tuesday, my creative concept was sent into an entirely new direction. So sit back, relax (don't forget to turn up the sound), and enjoy this "3-day" edit. I promise it will be TOTALLY worth the 8 minutes!!! WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS REPTILES. For more information about Dream Garden, Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit organization serving the children of Birmingham, please visit their website at www.DreamGardenInc.com.

How do you squeeze seven weeks of video footage into a 1-minute highlight video? Here's how! It is always my desire to utilize the remaining footage in some form, so to all of my clients: Do not be surprised if bonus edits are gifted to your inbox in seasons where my bookings and workflow are a little slow!

Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (SHAAD) is the day we rewrite our narrative! SHAAD gives us all an opportunity to join a national movement to raise awareness, erase HIV/AIDS related stigma and discrimination and to advocate for new and necessary resources and solutions to stem the tide of HIV/AIDS in the South. There is an HIV/AIDS crisis in the South. This reality requires all of us to be engaged in collective, bold, and innovative strategies to reduce these disparities. The success of the Federal Ending the HIV Epidemic Plan requires coordinated and cross-sector responses. These responses must be data-driven, relevant and culturally appropriate to each geographic region of the country. Ultimately, to end the HIV epidemic in the South, we must look to the South for the solutions. Goals of Southern Solutions: 1. To organize Southern cross-sectorial stakeholders identified in the federal Ending the HIV Epidemic Plan. 2. To increase interests and access to public policy for community stakeholders. 3. To discuss the challenges and solutions needed to reduce HIV disparities in the South.

Here is a [countdown] bumper I created from submitted photos/videos for Restoration UMC Mission, located in Birmingham, Alabama.

To combat what the media portrayed regarding the peaceful protests—which could potentially result in doubt and a sense of hopelessness in our nation, I decided to attend these protests myself to see what was really going on, and to capture a very different, and more “true-to-life” perspective. And here's what I found at these protests…I found HOPE. UNITY. MERCY. And LOVE....in BIRMINGHAM.

The Amazing Mom TV has tons of new family content in store! Check out my newest trailer!

Hello, Amazing Moms!…I am BACK!!! And today I am here with a life update, a channel update, and the premiere my new trailer! You can now join me "Live" on my socials every Monday night @7pm CST, where we will discuss a parenting topic that I will present either that Monday morning, or I’ll rehash a hot topic from the previous week… so be sure to set aside this time to tune in, because I want to hear from YOU! I will also be adding “Teen Talk” Tuesdays, where my oldest daughter and I will have open, candid conversations surrounding teen subject matter and issues. I haven’t yet decided if this will be live or prerecorded, or if it will be aired weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. So I’ll put out the first episode and you all can let me know how often you'd like to see it! You can also join us for “Family Fun" Fridays, where my family and I share with you activities that YOU can do in order to “keep the fun in family” because we know that oftentimes, motherhood can feel a lot like work, and I want to help you keep this parenting journey FUN, keep it FRESH, and keep it FRUSTRATION-FREE! In addition to this channel, I have created an online FB community for moms called The Amazing Mom Community. It’s kind of a “one-stop shop” for all of the content that I will post across platforms, it’s a place where we can build community with other moms worldwide, plus, it will feature recommended mom resources and ”daily mom deals” that I find on Amazon!
