Flashback to First Saturday!
Posted by TastyKeish | Filed under Blog, Music Blog @ societyHAE.com!, Video
The Brooklyn Museum’s First Saturday is coming up tomorrow (8.7.10), with that being said, I wanted to revisit the energy and togetherness of July’s First Saturday Dance Party which was hosted by SocietyHAE.com! I’m proud to be apart of such a culturally forward thinking movement that “Team SHAE” is.
Here’s my overzealous intro to the night:

SocietyHAE.com Creative Director, Ngozi Odita put together an awesome program with The Brooklyn Museum that wasn’t just some DJ in a big room, but a true person to person, multi-media experience. We had a photographer, we had The Ahficionados on the wheels of steel, we had a HUGE screen that broadcasted our #15minsofFame twitter feed, and we had Team SHAE dispatched throughout the crowed parking lot TALKING TO party goers about what they would like as their 15mins of fame!

We bumrushed Brooklyn’s beautiful First Saturday Party goers and asked:
Who are you?
What do you do?
What do you want to be remembered for?
The answers were great and there are too many people to list. So, go ahead and find yourself or a friend in the video by Team SHAE member, Ndada Vaz!

The evening of July 3, 2010 showed what it looks like when the underdog wins. We’re not the biggest, flashest website, with the most hits but you get a party everytime you click!

A Real Life Zemira & The AOL Takeover (part 1)…
Posted by TastyKeish | Filed under Blog, Interviews, Video
My original blog post was going to reflect on a negative enounter I had this week, but the Universe has a way of telling me to move forward. So I did. And when I woke up, I had two videos hit the internet!
I was interviewed by Mecca Woods of the film Zemira (an independent film about the coming of age of a young teen in The Bronx struggling to make her way). We discussed the needs of black girls as addressed by the media and the importance of positive role models. The conversation had me reflecting back to some memories of encounters with black girls and children that I worked with as well as my feelings that as an adult, you make choices wheather to be exploited or not.
Real Life, ZEMIRA: An Interview With Tasty Keish:

Next, on my facebook wall, I woke up to this segment of myself and my good friend, film maker, Dorian Chandler. She made a film called “Nigger Nation” which discusses the contemporary use of the word Nigger.
In the segment, Dr. Boyce Watkins of AOL Black Voices invited us to speak on our use of the “N” word and it turnd out to be less scary than I thought it would be to discuss such a sensitive topic. But we did it, and it was actually….fun.
You can see the video interview and full write up here: http://www.bvonmoney.com/2010/07/22/keisha-dutes-dorian-chandler/
**That same day, Dorian and I did two interviews with Dr. Watkins. These things take time to edit, so STAY TUNED for the interview about my webshow: “Taste of the Town” on AOL Black Voices!
