About the Film:
In the film, Ladybug's identity begins to deteriorate due to early-onset Alzheimer's Disease; which has a profound effect on the middle-aged artist's life with her family. 

The film stars Meki Mac, Wes Lee, Amber Reign, and Semaj Cottle; supported by a strong ensemble cast that includes Kenisha Johnson, Tarik Garrett, Amy Christine, and Kimberly Raven. Niya Davis, Angel L. Henderson, Nathan Rothwell, and Tisa Key round out the cast.

This dramatic short is written and directed by Anthony R. Page and co-produced by Alahna Lark through Lark Media. Alahna's most recent project is an Emmy-nominated, three-time Telly Award-winning short film titled: "Made In America." 

Director's Statement:
"Historically, we have not had as much control over our narrative, leading to global perceptions that have been inaccurate, inauthentic, and incomplete. Now that the barriers to telling stories via film & television have become much easier to surmount, we are in the midst of a rich renaissance of story-telling, representing more of the full scope and scale of who we are. Even though we are making great strides, we still have many generations of stories that we know can inspire, encourage, and shift perceptions about Black people and our exchange with humanity.”

Triggered and Tripped By Traumas (Anecdotes of Internal Observation)

TRIGGERED AND TRIPPED BY TRAUMAS (Anecdotes of Internal Observation) I'm up this morning journaling and setting the course for a successful week. I typically take the time to do somewhat of an after-action report to assess what I did well the previous week and what could be better. It's my commitment to continuous improvement.  As my business has grown, I find myself engaging with larger and much more diverse groups. Not just in the typical demographics of race, gender, and age, but more in the uniqueness of how they think, what they prioritize, and how they engage in business.  I don't talk as much as I used to. I find myself more often than not stepping back and observing, listening, absorbing, and discerning. One thing I've noticed in so many instances is how professionals have been triggered by something someone said or did and then tripped by their own traumas.  Often without knowing it, people are traipsing over and triggering traumas, causing a tragic build-up of
