It's official! Reelblack's latest short film production, THE 13TH AMENDMENT was recently awarded the Grand Jury Prize for the first ever CNN IREPORT FILM FESTIVAL.

Please Vote on November 4.

IReport is CNN's user-generated video blog. The 13th Amendment was chosen among hundreds of submissions dealing with this year's election submitted from around the world. Grand Prize is a trip for two to his 2009 Presidential Inauguration and a hi-def video camera.

CONGRATULATIONS MIKE!

MOTIVATIONAL STORY!

CHOICEZ

How They Impact Our Lives

by Aginah Carter-Shabazz

CHOICEZ is the riveting story of Aginah Carter-Shabazz, one of Philadelphia's most prominent cosmetologists who learned the hard way about the high cost of pursuing the "fabulous" life. The moving memoir reveals lessons learned about the price women pay for love and making their man’s choices their own.

Aginah masterfully weaves readers along her journey, revealing her poor choices and how they impact her life. Throughout the memoir, Aginah learns and grows, but the lessons of her poor choices don’t fully take hold until she reaches middle-age. Will CHOICEZ assist readers with removing the layers of programming and conditioning that is needed for women to make better choices? “Every choice has a consequence.” http://www.youtube.com/thebookchoicez * http://www.thebookchoicez.com

Aginah owned and operated several hair salons complete with her own line of Aginah’s Herbal Hair Products in Philadelphia. She has served her loyal clients for over thirty years. In 2003, she directed and produced an award winning documentary Justice For Her premiered Mother’s Day 2008 at the African-American Museum in Philadelphia with over 300 guests in attendance. http://www.myspace.com/justiceforher

Based on her experience, Ms. Aginah conveys the myriad of ways that we can all make better choices. “CHOICEZ will help you remove the layers of programming, conditioning, and limiting beliefs that can suffocate your spirit; teach you how to experience free-ness in your mind, how to affect your ability to manifest and attract what you desire; and how stepping into your full woman-ness or man-ness positively affects your love relationships with spouses, friends, and loved ones.” –Aginah Carter-Shabazz.
