7 Richest Actresses in Nigeria (Photos).
That Nollywood money. For so many, becoming a Nollywood star is a dream. They look up to their favorite actors and actresses and say to themselves "I can do that" but when they get to those sets, they see that 1.) The act of acting itself especially in front of a camera and on a professional set is difficult, and 2.) Acting by itself especially for an up and coming actor or actress doesn't pay as much as they think.

‘Pocahontas’: Historical Fact or Disney Myth?
Since the beginning of history, writers have looked to the past to inspire them. The problem with this perspective is that when history fades into myth, the real person and the real story are often forgotten. While this allows for a certain amount of creative license, it also gives authors leeway to re-write that particular story based on their own values and point of view.

Happy Birthday Hattie McDaniel
Hattie McDaniel was born on June 10, 1893 in Wichita, Kansas. Hattie began her career in 1914 when she and her sister, Etta Goff, launched a variety show. In 1920 she joined the Melody Hounds, a black touring group. By the mid 1920s the group was singing on the radio. During this time Hattie was writing her own songs and by late 1927 to 1929 she had begun to record many of her own songs in Chicago.

My Review of "Into The Wild"
Into The Wild came out back in 2007 and at the time I guess I was a little too immature to appreciate such a film. I never got to see until now. With all of the craziness happening in 2020 it would be interesting to see someone deliberately setting out to live by themselves in the wild. So I thought it would be an interesting film to watch and I wasn't wrong.

20 Books of 2020 (Pt.30)
Now that we've reached a milestone in these lists, I just want to say how happy I am that you've all come on this journey with me so far. I managed to get more reading done because of the international lockdown situation that's been going on but slowly, I want to ease away from reading four or five books a day purely out of the fact that I'm not really going anywhere or doing anything. I want to get back to normal, my two to three books a day are more than enough to see me through. I'm starting a bunch of new projects as you've seen and more will be on the way hopefully.

ICYMI: Netflix is Part of the Revolution
ICYMI, the revolution is here, y’all. The flames have been lit. So, now more than ever, Netflix binges are a necessary way to vegetate back into the pre-2020 world when we, as a society, ignored our problems. But, if you’re anything like me, the revolution is in your soul. So, turning it off by turning the TV on isn’t really possible. The three Netflix series highlighted below offer two much-needed options: Netflix & Chill or Netflix & Critically Question.

Diversify your queue. Second Place in ICYMI Challenge.
1. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power Not the cartoon from the 80’s, the reboot created by Noelle Stevenson. Gone are the clunky predictable He-Man spin-off cookie cutter stories. Instead, we get a full ensemble of women. Not since Orange is the New Black have I seen this many female characters that all feel and look DIFFERENT from each other. The show does not rely on stereotypes, in fact shattering so many. For a show that has a lot of fun transforming Adora into She-ra, it has equal parts depth of story and character arc. Add to that, a precisely planned 5 seasons that fit together like puzzle pieces and build off each other. If only Noelle Stevenson could build a time machine and sit down with the writers of Lost.
