    Omar Epps…..a legend! He dropped some gems in this interview! 💎 I hope that this book opens up so many doors for us! 🤎He said he’s not waiting on Hollywood!

      @jayc5756 Год назад +2

      You can't wait for Hollywood for things to happen. We gotta push through ourselves. And some hope they come around during the pre-production phase or production phase...but most come by after you just finished. So it is what it is.

    @tiffanysedits5406 Год назад +2

    Omar Epps is being used by YAH to tell a biblical story. Whether it's sci-fi or not, all the themes he is speaking on are biblical. Love as the power, a displaced & subjugated people finding out that their heritage was deliberately kept from them. Black people truly are the royal, oracles of God. It's so natural that we don't realize how exceptional it is. Nobody on earth is closer to the Lord than we are. Period.

    I wasn't hip to Omar's Afro science fiction writings but I'm glad he's doing it because there's been chasm left in my opinion since Lovecraft Country was discontinued on HBO. Now THAT was a good ass series!! I was glued every episode. Season 2 would've been lit....but HBO didn't want the smoke lol

    I genuinely love and respect you my fellow brother in Christ. I believe you were given the ability to understand far beyond your years.
    Continue to be true to your destination and watch your blessings touch others.
    I pray 🙏🏽 that even a handful of people grasp the core of what you are trying to convey, how much of a blessing it would be.
    Mr. Epps you were given a platform as many were, I’d like to thank you for using yours to glorify God.
    Unfortunately I feel most wont understand or simply don’t want to because the are caught in the fowlers snare. The ones that understand your assignment will come with daggers flying trying to shut down a beautiful mind.
    Please stand in your convictions and continue to be led to serve Jesus Christ. Omar, you are planting a seed. How powerful.
    Prayers, love and respect for you and your entire family.
    I was sitting here just saying amen. Please keep spreading love, joy respect, unity and hope in such tumultuous times.
    Yes! The Victory is already won ❤

    I hope Envy really isn't that ignorant to where he doesn't know why it isn't ok for him to joke about Charla's skin tone.
    It's the same reason it's "ok" for an AA to joke about a white person but NOT the reverse: POWER.
    In this white supremacist/colorist world we live in, Envy is desired 😒 Therefore powerful because of his skin tone.(Generally speaking) deeply melanated people are not.
    When Charla uses words like waffle colored (although I don't agree with it) he is "speaking truth to power."
