EMMY-NOMINATED. STILL STANDING. 🎬✨

Wow, I'm still pinching myself! When we started this journey with 'Still Standing,' it was truly a leap of faith, born from a simple prayer and a burning purpose. To see it now, officially an Emmy nominee for the Pacific Southwest region, feels nothing short of miraculous. This isn't just a win for us; it's a testament to the idea that 'we, too, can' achieve incredible things against all odds. This documentary, 'Still Standing,' is more than just a film; it's a narrative woven with resilience, hope, and the unwavering belief in one's path. We poured our hearts into telling a story that we hoped would resonate, and now, knowing it's recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, feels like validation for every late night and every challenge overcome. It’s a powerful message, especially for those who might feel overlooked or discouraged – if we can do it, then 'we, too, can' stand tall and make our voices heard. The entire process, from conceptualization to production, was a labor of love. Working with the incredible team at Power Speaks Louder, alongside talents like B. Hunter, Jordan Lyles, and Dorian Armstead, has been an unforgettable experience. Each person brought their unique vision and dedication, making 'Still Standing' the impactful piece it is. I am just immensely proud to be a part of a project that champions such vital stories. When you watch it, you'll see the passion and truth behind every frame. We really aimed to create something that not only entertains but also genuinely moves and inspires. This 2025 Emmy nomination for the Pacific Southwest Emmys shines a light on the power of independent storytelling and the diverse voices that are shaping the film landscape. It’s particularly meaningful for Black filmmakers, showing that our stories have a place on prestigious stages. This recognition isn't just about a statuette; it's about the broader impact – encouraging more people to chase their dreams, no matter how big they seem. It's about proving that through faith, hard work, and collaboration, 'we, too, can' turn our prayers into purpose and our purpose into celebrated achievements. If you haven't had a chance to experience 'Still Standing,' I truly encourage you to watch the full documentary on YouTube. The soundtrack is also available everywhere, and it's fantastic! It’s a story that will leave you feeling empowered and believing in the strength of the human spirit.
