Blacktopian Shantelle "Elle" McLin releases a book of poetry titled Beyond Nursery Rhymes: Real Life Tales.  Blacktopia is proud to feature her new book release!

Synopsis
Between the covers of this book, you will find a pilgrimage. For the author, ‘Elle’ McLin, in describing her past as a painful one, would be trite and dismissive. It is through enormous turmoil that she found herself; slowly healing, then breaking free of victimhood. She later awakens to new found hope. A victim of sexual abuse; the reality of her writing conveys to the reader, that the true assault was the violation of her soul. The aftermath was a skewed self-perception, which created a pattern of self-deprecation and bitter angst. This is a glimpse into the heart of a woman who became terrified of love, yet desired to be loved; a dichotomy. So skillfully written, Elle has masterfully conveyed her deepest, blood-raw emotions in this exquisite collection of prose. It will be an emotional journey you take with her, feeling each inference, innuendo, and breath. It is a tale of inner strength, fortification and a woman reinvented. The author has discovered self-love; the key was never outside of herself. A victory for this very brave, strong woman. Walk this pilgrimage with ‘Elle'. You will find seeds enough to plant within yourself! Powerful and evocative - not to be missed. Brenda-Lee Ranta – Author of Myriad of Perceptions & Allegories

#WedNightPoetry: "Tongue Piercing" by Darrell Herbert





"Tongue Piercing"

Flawed human beings
You are now who I am
burn bright
She burned brighter and was a true genius -therefore perhaps her brighter flame went out first
She was always volatile and vulnerable and sad
and there was no way he was the right type of man to heal her
so sad -for them both -a car crash looking for somewhere to happen
It should all be laid to rest with them

She's dead.
The silence demands the obvious conclusion

Neither party is here to confirm, deny, defend, reflect or shed light on the situation

The relationship between therapist and client must be private and protected
in death as it is in life
Otherwise how can people allow themselves to be entirely open
honest and vulnerable in therapy when they know the details could be disclosed after their death?

Surely that would render therapy far less


poem by Darrell Herbert

Information on the upcoming BREAKTHROUGH movie





When God has a calling on your life, all things are possible; and when you put Him first before anything, He will give you the desires of your heart. As a Christian, I truly believe that God has called me to minister His word through filmmaking. Without a doubt, it is my passion to produce quality entertainment that inspires and uplifts as well as captivating all audiences through the faith based industry. 

Since the beginning of this year, I have been given a great opportunity to produce my fourth project entitled, Breakthrough. However, in order for the movie to be successful, we are asking for donations to support the project.

Brief Synopsis: 

'Breakthrough' is an inspirational faith based film, which tells the story of a young aspiring ballet dancer (Heaven) who is destined for greatness. Her mother (Faith) is a single parent; facing many challenges of her own as she supports her daughter’s passion. Her father (Jared) financially supports her; however (Jared) has found new love and is engaged to be married for the first time. Her grandmother (Grace) is the glue that keeps the family together. Heaven’s journey takes a turn for the worse when she is forced to call the police on her mother’s abusive boyfriend (William). (William) being a first time defender, was charged with a simple assault/misdemeanor and placed on house arrest. Affected by the outcome, (William) becomes psychotic and seeks redemption to prove his love for (Faith). Despite the circumstance, (Heaven) has to cope with the reality of her family’s struggles while pursuing her dreams. As the story unfolds, (Heaven) will be challenged by tough decisions, pushed to her potential, and embraces her destiny that God has planned for her. His grace over her life will position her path to overcoming life’s adversities which will ultimately propel her to greatness. 

As the writer and executive producer for this project, I strongly believe that this is a story that needs to be told, because it addresses domestic violence, which is a very sensitive subject in our society that families are faced with every single day. 

In March, I was blessed to bring on Charmin Lee to the project as the executive producer and director. She is most known for her role as Maya’s Mom Jeanette on “GirlFriends.” Since then, her career has continued to soar with big screen credits like, “Alvin and the Chipmunks (Road Trip),” “5th Wave,” “Extra-Curricular Activities,” and “Curve Ball.” Ms. Lee’s television credits include “Outcast,” “Saints and Sinners,” “Being Mary Jane,” “Greenleaf,” “Vampire Diaries,” “The Quad,” “The Game,” “Bones,” “Born again Virgins,” “The Haves and Have Nots,” and “Containment” just to name a few. Currently, you can also find this talented actress every Saturday on CBS crime lab Director, Dr. Georgia Darby in “The Inspectors.”

This will be Charmin’s first film as a director.

Also, on the project is executive producer, Chris Scott.  She has been in theater for over 36 years and has spent time gracing the stage of NYC as an actress for several of those years. She is a former Audelco Award nominee in the category of Best Supporting Actress in a Stage Play. She is the owner of Trinity Performing Arts Academy. Several of her plays have toured in various cities and showcased in theater festivals throughout the country. She was Co-Producer of a featured film called “Making Moves” by the Baz Brothers Production. 

With the collaboration of these two outstanding producers, we are ready to step out on faith and embrace the journey that God has for us. However, we need your help. In order to really breakout into the industry, we are trying to bring in a house hold name to market the project. We are asking for donations in an effort to secure a quality actor to sign on to the project. With your contributions, we will be able to create conversations with investors who could possibly show the project in theaters throughout the United States.

Thank you and we look forward to you supporting the vision.

A FILM ADDRESSING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

In March, Charmin Lee became a part of a film project as the Director and Co-Producer called “Breakthrough”. Charmin is most known for her role as Maya’s Mom Jeanette on “GirlFriends.” Since then, her career has continued to soar with big screen credits like, “Alvin and the Chipmunks (Road Trip),” “5th Wave,”  and “Curve Ball.” Ms. Lee’s television credits include “Outcast,” “Saints and Sinners,” “Being Mary Jane,” “Greenleaf,” “Vampire Diaries,” “The Quad,” “The Game,” “Bones,” “The Haves and Have Nots,” just to name a few. Currently, you can also find this talented actress every Saturday on CBS as crime lab Director, Dr. Georgia Darby in “The Inspectors.”

Charmin strongly believes that this is a story that needs to be told, because it addresses domestic violence, which is a very sensitive subject in our society that women are faced with every single day. 

Without a doubt, it is the passion of Charmin and Writer/Producer, Corey Eugene and Producer Chris Scott to create quality entertainment that inspires and uplifts as well as captivate all audiences through the faith based industry.  
With the collaboration of these two outstanding producers, we are ready to step out on faith and embrace the journey that God has for us. However, we need your help. In-order to really create a quality film, we are asking for donations in an effort to secure necessities for this epic project. With your contributions, we will be able to create conversations with investors who could possibly show the project in theaters throughout the United States. 
Charmin is excited about “Breakthrough” being her first film as a director.
