Make 'Herstory'

Had the pleasure of watching one of the best movies I have seen in a long while.  I’d heard mixed reviews, some talks about the actors, some talks about the script, and some talks about the directing.  All in all, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, not only because of my race, but because of the appreciation for the message both in front of and behind the film, respectively,  two different perspectives.

The fond appreciation for the film, stems from both being an entrepreneur and a black woman. In my seven year stint of entrepreneurism, I have found the key ingredient for  growth and success is  having the courage to stand against all odds  firmly, patiently  and consistently and to be  committed to the cause, especially, when surrounded by doubt and disbelief. The absence of the above are the catalysts to lost dreams and empty vision, but when executed properly, they are the keys to making history, your story. Calculated risks, developing and sustaining the ability to forecast your own future, are what create legends, like the Tuskegee Airmen.

 The message must prevail over the numerous amounts of times folks give up after a few tries of an idea and the desired acclaim or fortune are not immediate.  Quite often jumping off of one thing and on to the next! All throughout history, the noted legendaries are those who defy the odds, those who smelled the doubt and disbelief brewing, yet still went for the kill,   continuously in pursuit of the goal despite the naysayers and the economic forecast.  In the making of The Red Tails, the filmmaker, the plot, as well as the story of the journey to create the film, screamed this kind of success.

It should be a message for all of us to replay.  Against all odds, live fearlessly, effectively and purposefully, make 'herstory' by being committed  and driven without being fearful of taking risks!  soooooooooooo......Suit up, buckle up and get ready for take off!!!!! 

Food for thought:  five frogs were sitting on a log when one of them decided to jump off. Can you guess how many were left sitting on the log? Five frogs— because deciding to jump doesn’t mean jumping!
