Reunion Movie Premier and Review in Hollywood

I am bringing you exclusive footage from the event, where I spoke to the writer behind the story, John W. Kim, who revealed what he hopes the audience will get out of the film and even his next big idea! Don;t miss the exclusive red carpet footage where cast members revealed what they related to most about their characters and previewed some of the drama from the film! Watch below!

 

My Review 

After watching the movie for the first time at the Beverly Hills film festival, I would highly recommend this movie for anybody looking for an independent take on classic Rom Com style movies from the early 2000's. This film reminds me of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion because it is filled with heart and spirit and a dose of adolescent optimism that we all need but with an updated twist that reflects the reality many young people are facing in America today. The film doesn't shy away from the economic and structural challenges that are crushing young adult dreams, even for the successful and middle class characters in the film. It also weaves hilarious moments, crazy personalities, and pop culture into the ensemble cast so that everyone watching can find a character they identify with. 

Stormrider: The Legend of Hammerhead Premieres at Saban Theater Beverly Hills

 On Sunday night Stormrider: Legend of Hammerhead premiered in Beverly Hills with a star studded crowd in attendance. I covered the red carpet and watched the film. After having the chance to speak with producers and actors in the film, I got to sit down and watch it on the big screen in the ornate Saban theater. The Sci-Fi film, featuring a dystopian world where people were forced to seek refuge on an archipelago of islands brought a fresh take to the post-apocalyptic genre with water scenes, underwater special effects, and more departing from the traditional desert or cityscape settings of the genre. The film also featured a captivating plot, with many twists and turns to keep the audience guessing until the very end. I definitely recommend this film to any Sci-Fi fans who are looking for something different. Check out my red carpet coverage below to hear form the cast and crew, and see the celeb style from this glamorous event. 

The Apollo x Kwanza Jones Ignite Los Angeles With the Launch of Culture In Motion™ National Roadshow

 This weekend I attended the Culture in Motion roadshow kickoff in Los Angeles! Check out my Youtube video below for all the red carpet fashion and celebrity interviews! Read more about the event below.

    

LOS ANGELES, CA – For nearly a century, The Apollo has stood as a sacred cultural landmark in Harlem, New York – a legendary stage where icons were discovered, movements were born, and Black culture was amplified for the world. On Saturday, January 31, 2026, history turned a new page as The Apollo stepped beyond its storied walls and, for the first time, took its legacy directly to the people through The Apollo x Kwanza Jones Presents: Culture In Motion™, a national roadshow conceived and presented in partnership with visionary artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Kwanza Jones. 

 

Launching in Los Angeles during Grammy Week, the Culture In Motion Roadshow transformed The Beehive into a vibrant epicenter of creativity, community, and celebration. The event marked a defining evolution of The Apollo’s mission, expanding its nearly 100-year cultural legacy from a singular venue into a living, traveling movement designed to meet communities where they are. 

 

A centerpiece moment of the launch was the official unveiling of the SUPERCHARGED® Boost Bus™, a striking, custom-designed mobile platform that brings the spirit, energy, and cultural impact of The Apollo x Kwanza Jones directly into neighborhoods across the country. More than a vehicle, the Roadshow Bus serves as a rolling cultural hub, activating space for artistic expression, storytelling, discovery, and community connection. Designed under SUPERCHARGED® by Kwanza Jones’ creative vision, the bus embodies movement, momentum, and access - signaling a powerful new era where culture is not confined to a single stage, but alive and in motion. 

 

Rooted in Kwanza Jones’ future-forward SUPERCHARGED vision, Culture In Motion reimagines what cultural access looks like in the modern era. Through immersive programming, live performances, storytelling, art, and dynamic mobile activations inside the Boost Bus, the Roadshow delivered inspiration, creative empowerment, and intergenerational connection directly into the heart of Los Angeles. 

 

The day began with Amateur Night Auditions presented by Coca-Cola, honoring The Apollo’s historic tradition of discovering new talent, followed by a high-energy red carpet and live experiences that blended heritage with innovation. Kwanza Jones (CEO of SUPERCHARGED), along with her partner in life and business, José E. Feliciano (Managing Partner of Clearlake Capital Group)—co-founders of the Kwanza Jones & José E. Feliciano Initiative—stepped onto the red carpet alongside The Apollo’s executive leadership: Michelle Ebanks, President & CEO of The Apollo, Joy A. Profet, Chief Growth Officer of The Apollo, and Tysus Jackson, Chief Development Officer of The Apollo, on the red carpet, underscoring the shared leadership and vision behind the Culture In Motion National Roadshow.

 

Celebrity guests including Algee Smith, Jaime Jones of the Grammy Award Winning Music Group All-4-One, Jon B, George Daniels, Ron Stewart (Senior Vice President of Warner Records), Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones Jr, Yung Muusik, DJ Rogers Jr., Chef Sean, Rugrat and many more joined artists, community leaders, and creatives in celebrating culture as a force for connection and progress. 

 

“Culture in Motion is a living expression of art, empowerment, and community. Launching in Los Angeles during Grammy week extends the spirit of The Apollo beyond its walls and into the streets where creators and communities move culture forward together. It sets the tone for a Roadshow that invites people to show up, participate, and see themselves reflected in what’s possible,” said Kwanza Jones.

 

The Los Angeles stop set the tone for the National Roadshow’s journey, reinforcing The Apollo’s enduring role as a catalyst for cultural expression and civic impact, now amplified through movement, mobility, and modern storytelling.

Chanel West Coast Announces Pregnancy and Shares Her Maternity Style on the MTV Unscripted Awards Red Carpet

Los Angeles basedsinger and television personality Chanel West Coast announced some big news on the red carpet at the MTV Unscripted Awards which aired Sunday night on MTV. The singer spoke about this exciting time for her family. The “Ridiculousness” Co-host shared her excitement as well as her nerves for the upcoming changes her first baby will bring saying it was definitely “scary” but overall happy news. She appeared with her boyfriend Dom Fenison on the red carpet and the couple looked cuter than ever as they talked about their plans for the baby.

The musician mentioned her struggles with morning sickness in the first trimester and how it had made keeping the news under wraps difficult. But now she is ready to take things public and is hoping for a smooth summer while she prepares to welcome her child into the world. The singer is well known for her bold sense of style and she continued the tradition with her red carpet look for the event. She described her outfit saying, “Pink is more my vibe, I’m wearing a pink and green Dolce and Gabbana dress, Louboutin shoes, and a Louboutin clutch.” One of the most immediate changes the baby will bring is to her wardrobe. We asked the star what her maternity style will be and she excitedly shared her plans saying, “I’m gonna be very Rihanna vibes as soon as the belly is popping a little more I’m gonna show it off more because right now it’s still in that stage where it’s like people might think I’m a little overweight at the moment. But as soon as it’s popping out more I’m just gonna start showing it off more.” She added, “I’m just looking for whatever I can wear right now. I haven’t been paying as much attention to the trends as usual as I’ve been trying to pay attention to what actually is going to fit me and still be cute.”

The artist is looking forward to being a mom and is already feeling inspired by her child. She released a brand new music video on June 2nd and already has additional projects in the works. Fans are looking forward to hearing her new songs and the singer has hinted that there may be some surprises in her music style as well. It will be a transformative summer for the artist and a joyous time for her growing family.

Before heading inside the MTV star shared what she was most looking forward to about the awards show saying, “Tonight I’m just looking forward to seeing what crazy thing happens like the MTV awards is known for something crazy happening and I think that we don’t ever know what’s gonna happen so I can’t wait to see what crazy shenanigans happen.” The 2^nd annual MTV Unscripted Awards aired on Sunday June 5^th with special guests Paris Hilton and Bethany Frenkel in addition to cast members from some of the biggest shows in Reality TV this year.
