And the winner is...Venus Jones! She Rose just like Rose

26 Apr 2024 | Posted Under Success
Greetings Venusian,

Welcome to my world!

Lil Red is on his way to Venice California this weekend. He's riding high after winning some awards. "And the winner is...Venus Jones!" Why should you care about Lil Red? This film is a tool for a critical and must have conversation with someone you love

I find it annoying when people send updates about winning and don't share that you must be willing to fail to win. I've never been the most popular person in the room. Therefore, winning for me isn't associated with fame, fortune, or how many social media followers you have. You win when you do your best and stop listening to the negative person in your circle or the one in your head. You do something that puts a smile on someone else's face or try something new, given life is short. And anyone can do that!

And get this, for those who see me as themselves, I'll know tomorrow if Lil Red is selected for the 30th annual Essence Festival, where it's currently a finalist!

April is National Poetry Month! And I'm a first time film producer. It's hard to believe that I was still in production last year at this time. It was all new to me and still is. I was looking for a mentor to guide me through the filmmaking process while battling feelings of doubt as a neurodivergent.

But WOW, this high achiever returns to a divine level, and I made it miraculously to the other side with God’s unchanging hand, my angels,(shout out to my Mommy, Rose Mary, celebrating a birthday in heaven today), a ton of hard work, humane humans, and a lot of determination.

Yet, if you're like me, you feel mentor less and mother less often, it gets rough. So I'm being transparent and giving you what I wish some artist gave me. Yes, I created new poetic products for the educator or artist who struggles with apathy and asking for assistance. Why? Most people are selfish but we cal them, don't we? Cue up a comical classic poem by me called "Assistance" found on my debut album Venus to Earth.

Anyhoo, you can sip your mint or green tea in plain sight of an amazing teacher or coach, cop a mentee sticker or wear your favorite mint tee to the next networking event. CLICK HERE to check out the new line. Tell them "Venus Jones, one of my favorite poets made it."
Winning!
Here’s a link to my impromptu acceptance speech at the Granada Theatre in Morgan Hill. Shout out to the prestigious panel that included fellow sheroes. The festival organizer, and “Woman of the Year”, is Mattie Scariot, and she presented me with a Best Female Director in Animation award. I also was honored for making it in the Director's Circle, and for landing on Andrea Ureno's Top 10. 
This past weekend Afrikhan Jamal Dayvs honored me and esteemed poet Julian Carroll as poet laureates on the JaZzLine with the BAJABA Griot Award for our work as storytellers and cultural ambassadors. The gesture was so heartfelt that my eyeballs started sweating! Listen Here, and please learn more about the history and stay tuned as it pertains to the JaZzline Institute.
