She's powerful fearless and simply a Wonder Woman

Strong, Powerful, Fearless, Brave, Beautiful, and Intelligent, that’s just a few adjectives to describe the amazing super heroine, “Diana Prince” aka “Wonder Woman”. I completely identify with what we need to teach the next generation of being confident, powerful, embracing your unique and different self.  You want girls and teenagers to have a healthy self-image, self-esteem, and to value themselves. You were born at a certain time, day month, and have your unique DNA. What I am saying is we need strong characters like this now for women to battle and go up against anything that is thrown at them.

You need to instill confidence in young girls to make young women know and show their value and so they are comfortable with who they are inside and outside. They need to know they are capable of achieving anything. I think that’s the one thing I want to instill in my future children too if I am fortunate to have a girl or girls I want them to truly know the essence of being a woman has the greatest impact on society and the world.

Gal Gadot in "Fast & The Furious" 

he tone of our value, our strength, our confidence, our knowledge, and wisdom is important.

“Wonder Woman” is a legend who stepped on the scene and was created actually by a former psychologist and writer, William Moulton Marston is the person who made and created the dynamic and legendary character. She first appeared 66 years ago in October of 1941. She has evolved and become a pop culture icon many women look up to her for inspiration and as a symbol of power and strength. Girls and grown women still emulate her style.

Many celebrities auditioned for this role of Woman like Angelina Jolie, Beyonce, and many others wanted the role.  Gal Gadot Israeli 5’10” beauty (“Fast & Furious: Fast Five”, Fast & Furious 6, Date Night, Knight & Day, “Criminal” , “Dawn of Justice: Batman vs. Superman”,  “Justice League”) she trained for 6 hours a day to get ready for probably a year and a half this role has been up for grabs for a couple years.  She worked on body building, rock climbing, and horse back riding to prepare to physically become the role. It changed her posture, her core muscles, and helped her develop a physical strength to embody the character of Wonder Woman.

I believe this movie will give inspiration to both women and men to see the kind of woman we need to aspire to be strong, powerful, and to channel our inner superhero every single day. We can become whatever we choose to be.

Get ready to show your moves watch "World of Dance" premieres May 30th on NBC

“Ne-yo”, Jennifer Lopez aka “J-lo” Derek Hough, and Jenna Dewan-Tatum will be the judges of the new reality television show, “World of Dance” the newest reality dance competition coming to NBC. As someone who took ballet classes, loves to dance, took salsa lessons, zumba classes. I love to dance something in my spirit and my heart gets me and just moves me. As soon as I saw the promotion for the show I was drawn to it right away.  I have been too many concerts, a few operas, and many Broadway and off Broadway shows like “Beauty and the Beast”, “The Lion King”, “Motown” on Broadway, “AIDA”,  “Platanos & Collard Greens”, “In the Heights” and many more. I took ballet classes from the time I was 4 years old at St Mark’s Dance school until I was about 10.  I also took dance lessons during the summer at New Jersey Performing Arts Summer Camp and Camp At Water. When I got to high school (Academy of Sacred Heart & Cathedral High School in New York) I joined the drama club, choir, basketball,  March for Life, and always tried to be involved with arts.

 I am a huge fan I tune into “Dancing with the stars” religiously every Monday night during the spring and fall seasons. There’s still a little girl inside me who wants to be a little pretty ballerina. Even as an adult I still wear ballet slippers , adult tutu skirts, and still want to run run leap and dance all around. So for me the artistic expression of dance is important to me. I always wanted to be an entertainer as a child. So for me ballet classes, theater, singing, model classes, acting classes, drama club lessons were apart of my upbringing.

            It’s in my blood and everyone’s to be creative, expressive, some people just have natural creativity and can make something cool, fresh, and new right away.  Now with the hosts of this show this puts them all in the hot seat to judge all of the contestants for every type of dance that people perform. The first host of the show you know him as multi Grammy winner, Ne-Yo, producer, actor, and singer.  Shaffer Smith better known as Ne-Yo has done a lot of choreography in his music videos “One in a million”, “Closer”, “She Knows”, “Miss Independent”, and “Let me love you ”. He’s familiar with how to put choreography to a great song, the message, and knows how to connect to it instantly.

This woman needs no introduction at all “J-lo” Jennifer Lopez the Bronx Goddess the ALMA, MTV award, Grammy award, television network owner of Nuvo, the original flyy girl of In Living Color. She has produced other dance shows with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony and has judged of course American idol on Fox. With her experience with television, film, dance, acting, Jennifer knows how to steal an audience and capture them. These auditioners will be in amazing hands. She knows all different forms of dancing salsa, contemporary, hip hop, and has had many years of training and experience from all over. “J-lo” can show you a thing or too if you ever saw her movie , “Shall we Dance” in 2004 or her most recent music videos like “I Ain’t your mama” you know this woman still has it and she can move. She along with all of the many contestants know you need to shine and show people that you can move.

The next judge is Jenna Dewan Tatum you know her from the “Step Up” franchise definitely one of my favorite films and I know this woman is incredibly talented. She will be one of the panelists which is pretty genius. She dances with grace, style, fluidity, and sophisticated movement. She and her very well known husband, Channing Tatum met in the film of  “Step Up” dated and later married and now have a little girl. These two know how to set a dance floor on fire. Jenna has even teamed up with her husband during the pre production and auditions for her husband’s Magic Mike show now in Las Vegas, Nevada .

Last but not least he is a dancer, choreographer, and occasional judge on “Dancing with the stars” he’s part of the Hough Duo (his sister is actress, singer, dancer, and judge of Dancing with the Stars”, Julianne Hough). He has won on the DWTS stage many times and has been on the television show for 17 years since 2005. He also has a phenomenal show “Move” which gets the audience involved and entertains the crowd too at the same time.  He is someone who will bring knowledge, experience, and he’s an expert in Cha Cha, Salsa, Ballroom, Argentine Tango, Foxtrot, and modern contemporary and choreography.  He and sister know how to build confidence with their students whether they are celebrities or non -celebrities. They know how to bring out your inner dancer. The dancer who we never want the world to see behind closed doors.

Grab your mama and go see "Snatched" this Mother's Day

This movie instantly tugged at my heart actually considering it’s starring two funny women I love Goldie Hawn ( side mote her real life daughter Kate Hudson one of my favorite actresses cannot tell you many times I have watched  First Wives Club and “How to lose a guy in 10 days” love a lot of their films).  Also the hilarious the shooting star, Amy Schumer ("Trainwrecked", "Inside Amy Schumer", and "Amy Schumer Live HBO Special" and Goldie Hawn (Town & Country, The Bangers Sisters) .

You probably wonder why does she love movies so much. So since we are talking about movies and mothers too. My late great grandmother, Margie had a huge movie collection and that movie “First Wives Club” inspired me a lot about getting even, being successful, getting revenge, and everything!  It sparked my inner feminist at an early age.  

Now this movie features Goldie and Amy in a completely different role. They get to play mother and daughter. Now how would we see Amy the wisecracker, funny, sarcastic woman as a daughter. I cannot wait to see it because with this role it takes on a different version of her personality in this one. o back to the movie is about a mother and daughter who take a long vacation and end up in a tumultuous number of funny situations.

I love being able to travel with my mom. I have been with her to many different places one including Martha’s Vineyard a few times. I just remember seeing this beautiful quaint town we had such a great time. I have always traveled with my mom and by myself too. We have been to amazing places and have had some really funny experiences. I remember we went to Martha’s Vineyard when I was 15 back in 2001 and we took a trip I have gone after that trip too. It’s gorgeous up there and just peaceful, a great place to unwind and relax you are on an amazing island, the food is great, and it’s just a place to kick back. The one thing I remember that stands out we were staying in this rinky dink hotel one night at the time the budget was really tight. I just remember the walls were made out of wood actually. They were thin walls and I just remember thinking this place was like the Bates Motel at that time.  We made the best of it  laughed, and we knew we would never come back to that hotel again. We actually wound up going to another hotel instead and relocating. Just those fun moments are something that I would never forget. We even took the whole family up to Martha’s Vineyard my stepfather, our family friends, and my grandmother too. Those are the memories I definitely cherish. We have had a lot of fun traveling together and there’s no better person who I could have traveled with too. She taught me to enjoy your vacations, love the experience, you learn from it and all of your trips.  So with this film it definitely brings up some memories. You have got to love traveling with your parents.

Get ready Mother's Day weekend and take your mother, aunt, sisters, friends, and every mother you know or who’s been like a mother to you. Visit for more information
