push: based on the novel by sapphire V1N3

this little independent victory one the grand jury and audience prizes at sundance this weekend. it stars mo'nique, mariah carey (serious!), and newcomer gabourey sidibe (who's getting mad raves). i won't go into a summary of the story, but this is the kind of thing i celebrate; the sometimes hectic and oft tribulated lives of black women. we are built for survival like the ancestors who came before us and that spirit souljahs on. i may cry, but i get on by.

see it + support!

the other day, i cried. i felt stupid. but you know what? fuck that day. that day is gone.
