Rap†ure
Through seven sins we claim this land Through four horsemen we purge the damned Let stars and stripes serve shadow's might Let liberty bow to chosen's right For this nation was meant for few The worthy ones, the darkly true Each pledge becomes a curse divine Each freedom lost to judgment's shrine Let patriot's pride serve darker needs Let sacred soil feed shadow's seeds Until America itself Becomes what Morning Star decreed: A kingdom built on righteous greed
A Curator’s Journey of Advocacy and Change
A 4-Part Documentary Series with Magdelene, D.D., Public Relations Advisor for SimukaAfrica.org and Co-creator/Curator of The 34 Gallery Initiative. Part I - Art, Awareness, and Action In this 4-part interview series, I had the profound honor of speaking with Magdelene, D.D., an extraordinary leader whose life’s work exemplifies integrity, acceptance, awareness, and action. As the Public Relations Advisor for SimukaAfrica.org and Co-creator and Curator of The 34 Gallery Initiative, Magdelene D.D., has devoted her career to addressing critical global issues with a deep sense of purpose and creativity. SimukaAfrica.org created The 34 Gallery under the auspices of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.4 Mental Health Initiative. Its mission is as profound as it is urgent: to highlight the importance of global mental health, particularly in underserved and underrepresented communities. By leveraging the transformative power of art, The 34 Gallery Initiative fosters self-care, self-esteem, and self-awareness, with the ultimate goal of reducing the suicide rate among the 85% of the global population that lacks access to mental health care. This documentary series is not just a conversation—it is a call to action. It is an opportunity to spark dialogue, inspire empathy, and galvanize artists and advocates worldwide to lend their voices and talents to this vital cause. My personal mission as an artist and creator deeply aligns with the values at the core of SimukaAfrica.org’s work. Together, we explore the intersection of art and mental health, seeking to illuminate how creativity can be a powerful tool for healing, connection, and change. The Vision Behind The 34 Gallery Initiative... In the first episode, we delve into the origins of The 34 Gallery and its role in advancing mental health awareness. Magdelene, D.D., shares the story of how she and her collaborators conceptualized a space that would harness the universal language of art to bridge cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic divides. We explore the gallery’s central aim of cultivating self-awareness and self-esteem in individuals who face systemic barriers to mental health care. Through powerful anecdotes and insights, Magdelene paints a vivid picture of how The 34 Gallery Initiative operates on both a local and global scale, touching lives in profound and measurable ways. A Mission Beyond Monetization... This documentary series was created with one goal in mind: to bring awareness to the vital work of SimukaAfrica.org and The 34 Gallery Initiative. It was not made for monetization or personal gain, but rather to amplify a mission that aligns deeply with my own values and aspirations. As artists and creators, we have the power to shine a light on the issues that matter most. By joining forces with initiatives like The 34 Gallery, we can use our talents to cultivate understanding, empathy, and action. If this series resonates with you, I encourage you to explore how you can contribute to this cause.

BE WATER, MY FRIEND: The Story of Bruce Lee
“Be Water, My Friend: The Story of Bruce Lee” is the film on Bruce Lee’s life that’s the exciting biographical film his fans have been waiting for. Drawing from over 12 books written by or on Bruce Lee, 22 documentaries and Bruce Lee movies, as well as countless independent interviews and “lost footage,” this short film tribute not only fills the cinematic void for a movie that’s a faithful adaptation of Bruce Lee’s life story, but it entertains audiences along the way. Follow young Jun Fan, (Bruce’s Cantonese name), from his childhood days as a street fighter in Hong Kong beimos and outcast gung fu student in Ip Man’s Wing Chun school, to “The Little Dragon’s” boat-rocking arrival on the US martial arts scene. Discover the insurmountable obstacles Bruce Lee faced as a Hollywood actor that required him to apply everything he learned in martial arts to defeat a system that was rigged against him. And unearth the legendary power Bruce Lee was able to harness that made him the influential icon he is today when he finally learned how to become 100% of what he was determined to be: like water. Oh, and, naturally, this film was made in The Year of the Dragon. *Note: Western martial arts uniforms are sometimes used in place of traditional Wing Chun uniforms as a “creative device.” This is for educational (and, for some, entertainment) purposes only.
