Get Real With Me (GRWM) is a docuseries that explores our connections with fashion, beauty, styling and hair. A play on the Get Ready With Me style videos, each episode tells the highs and lows of navigating self-styling and explores the wider topics at play here. The way you look isn’t just superficial, it tells the story of who you are.
A follow up to the film Notes of Resistance: Reggae, Thank You Notes featuring Teshay Makeda takes a look at the legacy that Reggae has left. Reggae has a long history of giving a voice to the voiceless. Thank You Notes allows artists of today to say thank you to those who paved a way for them to be able to make the music that they do. With many from Reggae’s heyday worrying about the genre’s future, we speak to Teshay Makeda at Lambeth Country Show doing her part to keep the genre alive. Join her as she prepares to go on stage for a set she has curated to pay homage to the women and community she has found in Reggae, Roots and Soul.
Many genres have been born out of resistance inspiring generations to create a space for themselves despite wider societies’ efforts to erase them. Reggae music, a staple and cultural export of Jamaican culture, has been enjoyed by many across the world. However, little is known on this same scale about the roots of the genre and its role as a form of expression for often marginalised communities in the UK. Many reggae songs offer messages of empowerment, particularly for black people and communities, and critiques of oppressive governments and social norms.
Throughout rap history, brand name drops and designated styling teams have been essential to a rapper's success. Being a rapper is now more than just the lyrics you write. You have to look the part as well.
I started Talks with Ronita’s World to keep creative during this lockdown period. I am very passionate about social issues and use my creativity to explore, learn more and teach others about it. A few weeks, in response to the response to BLM protests, I asked my followers a series of questions about home. There is a notion amongst some that if you critique systems where you live, you should leave. It is clear that home means different things to different people. However, you shouldn’t have to deal with racism and other forms of oppression to call a place your home. Due to lockdown, my resources were limited and I couldn’t film/explore the topic as much I would have liked. For now, this is what I and my followers has to say, hope you find this interesting...
