More Great #Fashion from #NYCIFF
This tattoo inspires me to get one..someday…when I’m less terrified of needles. Taken June 15 for the Latin Film Day red carpet.
Awesome #Fashion Sense at NYCIFF
This week, I’m taking some photos for the New York City International Film Festival. Loved this butterfly necklace worn by an Italian actress in attendance at the opening night on June 13.

20 Important African Startups to Watch
Ushandi from #Kenya made the list of African startups to watch. Very important and useful website I found about while I was in Kenya.
Whether ecommerce in Nigera, price comparison in South Africa or mobile advertising in Tanzania, African startups are not only changing their continent, but the world.
The very #blessed hat
I put this up on my instragram but it cut the awesome necklace he was also wearing. On my way to Latin Day atbthe Mist theatre in Harlem for NYCIFF. If you notice, there’s a mix of different religious symbols going on there like the Hamsa Hand and the elephant.
Greetings from Flushing, Queens
Gwendoline Christie is the actress for Brienne of Tarth in Game of Thrones. She stands at 6 feet 3 inches tall and took swordfighting, horseriding, and stagefighting lessons for her part, as well as gaining 14 pounds of muscle, to accurately portray Brienne. (x)
She was also terrified of cutting her hair because she’d spent her life believing it was one of the only things that would make people see her as feminine despite her height. In an interview with TV Guide she said:
I struggled for a long time with [cutting] my hair, but then I’m grateful for the opportunity to realize that femininity doesn’t have to come from hair or any of those traditional female archetypes of appearance, So, that’s been exciting actually. I can’t speak with any kind of authority whatsoever because I’m just an actor and I only have my opinions, but I do think it’s really refreshing to have a woman depicted on a mainstream TV show that doesn’t obey typical aesthetics of females and the way they have been portrayed in the past. And I’m really excited to be portraying one of those women. And I hope that her popularity signals a greater expansion of people’s views about men and women and that gender types can be more flexible.

Make the most of this beautiful Sunday.
