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-executive produced by Alahna Lark through Lark Media.

The International Black & Diversity Film Festival – IBDFF is an independent film festival and part of the Black Actors & Film Guild Canada. The guild was established to give a platform to Black actors, writers, artists, and filmmakers while celebrating cultural diversity through inclusion. The key goal is to bring independent films and filmmakers from around the globe to showcase their work in Toronto. 

Actress Meki Mac stars as Ladybug Brooks
"The team at the IBDFF has created a wonderful community around their festival.  Our community here in Atlanta is excited to connect with audiences and other creatives in Toronto and from around the world. It's an honor for us to be able to showcase our film through their platform." Anthony R Page - Remembering Momma writer/director.

Remembering Momma was previously nominated as Best Short Film during the 2021 HAPA Awards. 

HAPA Awards Release

"Remembering Momma offers viewers a chance to peel back the curtain and immerse themselves into the difficulties that come with having a family member who suffers from a cognitive disorder. Even further, the film goes deep enough to see that against the backdrop of this tribulation, being Black in America can be a difficulty in itself. We’re grateful to be able to tell a story that gives visibility to the strength of Black familial relationships especially when things get tough." ~ Alahna Lark - Owner of Lark Media and Remembering Momma Co-executive Producer.  https://www.larkmedia.co/

UPDATE: While REMEMBERING MOMMA continues to make its way through the film festival scene, we wanted to share this scene with you. This scene is fabulous, but for some technical reasons, it just did not make it into the final cut of the film, however, we want to acknowledge the superb work done by actresses NIYA DAVIS and ANGEL L. HENDERSON. Hope you enjoy it!!!

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
