Always Fresh....Karyn Parsons Will Tell The Janet Collins Story....

Karyn Parsons is known the world over as the big sister/cousin "Hillary Banks" on the show Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Since her "Fresh Princess" days , Ms. Parsons has been playing the role of "Fresh Producer" creating animated films about Black history for children and families.

Her past projects like The Story Of Henry Box Brown have been little told gems hidden in the history of people of color,  stories that also lend themselves to the wonder of animation. With The Box Brown Story, Mr. Brown literally mailed himself to freedom

The next story Karyn Parsons will be telling is The Story of Janet Collins a dancer that beat the odds to become a world wide and all time great.

This time around Ms. Parsons allowed her friends, family and fans to help produce via kickstarter.

Last Friday, July 11th she reached her fund raising goal of
$77,000.

Very soon we will all be able to sit down with our families thanks to Parsons and friends and enjoy The Janet Collins Story.

This time around because of kickstarter many more people will be able to also explain "we did it."

Editors Note: Karyn Parsons has been a guest on Raymond Tyler's radio show. She has been a great guest and we at The Little Wellness Arts Center congratulate Ms. Parsons on a job well done.

Five Things I love Right Now...

Okay so as always I ask you to share things that YOU love.

There are many artists that are making great work because it is important...not because they want to be famous or rich.

So here are the five things I am loving RIGHT NOW.

1. The Kid President

Before he was a muffler spokes person I was following Kid President thanks to actress Kim Coles.

2. Sweet Black Berry

http://www.sweetblackberry.com/shop.html

You all remember "Hillary" from Fresh Prince Of Bel Aire?

Well since her Bel Aire days actress Karyn Parson has moved to New York and she has started Sweet Blackberry.com. Sweet Blackberry is a movement to keep little known stories of Black History Alive.

You can visit the site and learn, teach some things to your kids and even help support.

We love Karyn Parsons, Sweet Blackberry and Hillary Banks...and we can not suggest strongly enough that you support this movement.

Number 3. Blaq Mel

Four years ago when I started spinning Blaq Mel's song SITUATION on my radio show,  I thought that I would be attending his GRAMMY PARTIES by now.

Blaq Mel flies in the face of today's watered down R&B.

Mel is dripping with HOT BUTTERED SOUL.

In 2014....I am getting back on my campaign to make sure you all have some Blaq Mel in your music collection.

Number 4. KT BORDERLINE's single FRESH IN THE CLUB

Finally some fresh new indie hip hop.

A must have for your Friday /Saturday Night.

Or for those of you that turn your mirror to "the club."

KT Bordeline I hope is the future of hip hop...can you say fun, fresh and exciting.

No one is shot during the filming of this video.

Number 5. The Goldberg's

I tuned into ABC for Marvel's Agents Of SHIELD and decided to give The Goldberg's a try.

Think The Wonder Year's in the 80's.

The Goldberg's successfully merges to angst of family life presented by Married With Children with the golden parts of family life shared with The Cosby Show.

For me that was the 1980's. 

Not as mean as Married With Children and not as perfect as The Cosby Show.

The Goldberg's also reminds me of two great shows featuring Fred Savage, The Wonder Years and his brother Ben Savage's show Boy Meets World.

Check out the pilot episode

6. Would Be Arsenio.

But I am going to write about The New Arsenio Hall Show Next Week.
