Soul Food
This hit domestic comedy-drama concerned the fortunes of an extended African-American family recalled through the eyes of young narrator Ahmad (Brandon Hammond). Ahmad’s world revolves around his grandmother, Big Mama Joseph (Irma P. Hall) and her three daughters: workaholic attorney Teri (Vanessa Williams), newlywed salon owner Bird (Nia Long), and Ahmad’s housewife mom, Maxine (Vivica A. Fox). Each sister is in turmoil. Teri has lost patience for her husband Miles (Michael Beach), who wants to quit the law and take up music. Bird doesn’t realize that her husband Lem (Mekhi Phifer) is about to be humiliated by her ex-boyfriend (Mel Jackson). And while Maxine’s relationship with her husband Kenny (Jeffrey D. Sams) is going well, her relationship with her jealous sister Teri needs fixing. These conflicts boil over at Big Mama’s traditional Sunday dinners, where the matriarch plays peacemaker. The ritual faces extinction, however, when Big Mama suffers a stroke -- but Ahmad is waiting in the wings to take her place. Soul Food launched the directing career of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, native George Tillman, Jr., who based the script on his own family experiences. In the summer of 2000, Soul Food was spun off into a cable TV series.
Ratatouille
A scrawny rat named Remy (voice of Patton Oswalt) finds his dreams of culinary superstardom stirring up sizable controversy in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant in director Brad Bird’s madcap computeranimated comedy. It’s hard being a rat with culinary aspirations, but Remy is convinced he has what it takes to break the stereotypes and follow in the footsteps of star chef Auguste Gusteau (voice of Brad Garrett). As fate would have it, Remy is currently situated in the sewers directly beneath Gusteau’s elegant restaurant. Soon Remy teams up with a young chef with little talent named Linguini (voice of Lou Romano). Together they are able to create some fabulous dishes, but they live in fear that someone will discover their secret and object strenuously to a rat being in a kitchen. When Remy’s passion for cooking turns the haughty world of French cuisine upside down, the rat who would be king of the kitchen learns important lessons about life, friends, and family while questioning whether he should pursue his culinary calling or simply go back underground and return to his life as a sewer rat.
Eat Pray Love
A woman who once made it her goal in life to marry and rear a family finds her priorities suddenly shifting in Ryan Murphy and Jennifer Salt’s adaptation of author Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling memoir. In the eyes of many, Liz Gilbert (Julia Roberts) was a woman who had it all -- a loving husband, a great career, and a weekend home -- but sometimes one realizes too little too late that they haven’t gotten what they truly wanted from life. On the heels of a painful divorce, the woman who had previously looked forward to a contented life of domestic bliss sets out to seek her true destiny by traveling first to Italy, where she learns to appreciate nourishment; then to India, where she discovers the power of prayer; and finally to Bali, where she unexpectedly finds the meaning of true love.

Design meets fashion and philanthropy
BURGHALIE Written by: Angela Willams
Meet Rashaad, the 28-year-old fashion designer out of Thomasville, GA. He is the CEO of a luxury street wear brand whose goal is to unite all individuals through fashion and art regardless of cultural background, race, sex, or ethnicity. “Burghalie is a culture where we believe art is a universal love language, and everyone should be able to come together through art and fashion, says the up-andcoming fashion designer Rashaad. My brand gives space to prevent arguments, conflicts, and killing one another because of how we look and what we wear. When people look at Burghalie my hope is that my brand will unite people to share that same common of interest which is fashion and the Arts. This prompted the young designer to make an extension of the brand bringing about Burghalie Academy. Burghalie Academy is a nonprofit organization that caters to youth ages 11-17 and young adults 18-25, which centers around promoting financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and music arts as a creative outlet ISSUE #7 | 25
for kids and young adults. This is also where Burghalie host most of their fashion competition, art awards etc. Graduating from Florida State University, he began his matriculation as a criminology major but always had a nitch for fashion. He then decided to pursue fashion design wholeheartedly. It was his then roommate and current business partner who inspired him to create what is now called “Burghalie. This fashion designer defines fashion as art in its conceptual, something that evokes a certain emotion within you. “It is an outlet to express yourself.” Pulling inspirations from Alexander McQueen, he takes risk and pushes the boundaries with his brand thinking outside of the box. Taking upholstery leather that you would usually use in a vehicle and creating a bomb vest out of it paired with stacked jeans.
Mr. Burghalie is the epitome of what fashion and philanthropy looks like. He has worked with some of Hollywood’s biggest names such as TI, Nelly, and Jermaine Dupri, hoping to work with Li Nas X in the future. He also worked as the creative directive for some of the hottest names in the industry recently teaming up with Black Wall Street for their Juneteenth project and assisting on designs for New York fashion week etc. This young designer is on the run preparing for the Burghalie resort which is the competition for New York fashion week show in September that everyone should be looking out for. This designer wants everyone to look forward to Burghalie becoming a household staple especially within the black community. Working with some of the biggest names in the industry and impacting over 1 million youth and young adults worldwide.
