              🎥IG: @theonlybagirayouknow by Fey  🎥:   @feyugokweesq 🇬🇧🇬🇾🇳🇬🇺🇸 🌎:  https://linktr.ee/feyugokwe.esq Caribbean Heritage Month has brought with it the whirling richness that is the cultural diversity throughout the Caribbean nations/we peoples of Caribbean heritage—and our captivating, creative works. Here’s my 6/20 Instagram post on one of🌴our amazing artists, from a seemingly magical island just off the coast of my Mum’s native South America—but also nestled in the geographical Caribbean itself:  #Art.🎨It’s mixed up in living without breathing itself, can lure & reel & haunt without hunting…and storytells histories & moments & movements without a word well-placed, or misplaced, or pinned. It’s a reality play, played out in flecks & glints & visual whispers…It is what it is what you *perceive* it is. And it is all a magic✨.  This #CaribbeanHeritageMonth, I salute the truly keen & prolific #Caribbean visual artists amongst us, like se

by Fey  Twitter: @pinkpurseintl So many things happen in a blink—so quick that our minds seem not to process them, like the first tiny drops misting our Afro puffs or pig/ponytails, as we toddled after school with our mothers in the rain. Not so was 2020, which dragged its feet sullenly on, from the time we found out about coronavirus-19, until and through some argue, each gloomily present pandemic day. But there were folks, in what became an epidemic storm, who lifted our spirits in quarantine with their fun and funky content creation. And they are, as my late Mum would so warmly and jubilantly say (lilting  🇬🇾 Guyanese accent here), “to be commend-ed!” One such is LaShonda Cooks ( www.shondasart.com , IG:  @shondasart ), whom I interviewed for the WOPH pod, after she and an extensive network of fellow artists took the global social media #DontRushChallenge (🎥Watch:  https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-uLipsg00t/?utm_medium=copy_link  )  to the canvas-side of the sandbox.

by Fey ( https://amzn.to/319POd5 ) And then there are actors who are activist, living their truth onstage, onscreen, and in the rallying streets. Edna Lee Figueroa, a SAG-AFTRA transplant from Puerto Rico, began living the dream at home and then in the grit of the NY theatre and indie movie scene. And then her anxiety hit harder, and she uncovered a secret she’d hidden away, even from herself, and found herself in the thick of things back in Puerto Rico, advocating for change.  WOPH catches up with this tremendously courageous and accomplished returning guest, and reveals how truly communally pivotal her past few years have been. The Women of Power Hours continues The Conversation about the epic sociocultural experiences of Women in the world.  Listen: ‪ https://lnkd.in/gz77NwB Host: Fey Ugokwe, Esq.; Guest: Edna Lee Figueroa.

by Fey  ( https://amzn.to/319POd5 ) Every artist has a secret. During our recent 2020 #Covid19Quarantine, Akaimi Davis, https://akaimidavis.com   and her fellow contemporary artists in various cities around the nation—and the globe—posted a catching #dontrush challenge video, from the belly of self-isolation in their homes. The upbeat vid highlighted the talents of independent artists and encouraged the support of their works during the tandem, globally tough economic season. But not everyone’s lives on that video read the same.  WOPH learns what self-isolation in a pandemic, under the threat of serious pre-existing conditions, was like for that vid’s San Antonio-based artist.  Listen: https://anchor.fm/woph/episodes/Trending-Urban-Artist--Akaimi-Davis-eelvd5 The Women of Power Hours continues The Conversation about the epic cultural and sociocultural experiences of Women in the world.

The upbeat vid highlighted the talents of independent artists and encouraged the support of their works during the tandem, globally tough economic season. WOPH learned (📸 Post: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-uLipsg00t/?utm_medium=copy_link ) what weeks shut away in quarantine with her kin and canvasses did to one of the video’s Dallas-based artists.  🎧Listen Here: https://anchor.fm/woph/episodes/Trending-Urban-Artist--LaShonda-Cooks-eeiefb The Women of Power Hours continues The Conversation about the epic sociocultural experiences of Women in the world.  Host: Fey Ugokwe, Esq.

For #WomensHistoryMonth Fey features 2 of her previous podcast guests—who have died. Listen to this epic #TBM episode of “The PPI Women of Power Hours”(iTunes): Her interview with the late, prolific #Celebrity #Author, her dear friend, Monique Raphel High:  goo.gl/zSgUGs French, Jewish, & a child refugee who fled the Nazis with her parents, Monique—a film exec's daughter  https://en.m.wikipedia.org —picked up the pen & became a force in print; screen. She spoke of her sweeping historic novels, life & passions. But, little did they know their lives would mirror each other in loss: Monique’s husband would be felled by cancer; & Fey, seeing Monique’s saga online, would live it herself in caring for her Mum—who would die within months of Monique’s husband, also from cancer. Fey visited Monique, just after her dealing with her mother's passing, not realizing it would be the last time she would see Monique alive. Both the celeb-chef L.
