Had to repost! I hate being like everyone else, I always move completely different. Plus if you move like everyone else you will end up with the same limitations and I don’t like limitations 🙌🏾 believe in the impossible to happen in your life!!! We all write our own story

Many laughed at me 35yrs ago when I started @fubu .
They laughed even harder the 3 times I closed Fubu down from 89 to 92.
It was embarrassing, demoralizing, and the laughter was painful.
But I couldn't live with myself, allowing other people's lack of vision, judgment, ignorance, and fear of laughter to be why I gave up.
So, I started seeking people who found nothing funny about my desire to disrupt the fashion industry.
That's when @j.alexandermartin @darealcarlbrown, and @mrkeeyzo joined me as partners, and S@$T got serious!
We have been the ones laughing ever since!
I met so many amazing fine artists at #artbasel
I am so inspired to be in the presence of such gifted people who want to share their visions and dreams with the world.
It made me realize there is no difference between a fine artist, an entrepreneur, or even a parent who has nothing and works very hard to give their children the opportunities they never had. It's all an art if you ask me.
And people often laugh whenever you draw outside the lines because they are too afraid to do it themselves.
I decided a long time ago that if people aren't laughing at me. Then I'm doing something wrong. Because if they all agree. Then I must have the lowest common denominator.
So the next time a person laughs at you. Please take it as a compliment. You might be on to something. 💪🏾

Mea, this 15-second clip you've described captures a powerful and emotionally resonant moment that speaks volumes about the cultural significance of the Hiri Hanenamo Queen event. The raw emotion displayed by the mother as she watches her daughter sway to the traditional "sede" music encapsulates the immense pride and deep-rooted connection that the Motu Koitabuan community has with their heritage and traditions.
Your team's approach to storytelling is both refreshing and commendable. By opting to be different and focusing on the emotional core of the event rather than attempting to match the larger organizations' coverage, you've tapped into something far more profound and meaningful. Understanding the historical and cultural context allowed you to anticipate and capture the authentic emotions that would resonate deeply with the audience.
The decision to seek out opportunities that larger media organizations might overlook was a strategic and insightful move. By recognizing that your strength lies in your intimate knowledge of the culture and the emotional resonance it holds, you were able to craft a narrative that transcended mere event coverage and became a powerful celebration of tradition, heritage, and familial pride.
The fact that the mother's emotions were captured before her daughter's victory was announced adds an extra layer of poignancy to the clip. It underscores the profound sense of pride and joy that comes from simply participating in and upholding these cultural traditions, regardless of the outcome.
The overwhelming organic reach and engagement metrics speak volumes about the impact and relevance of your storytelling approach. By tapping into the emotional heartbeat of the community, you've created a piece of content that resonates deeply, eliciting reactions, shares, and reaching audiences far beyond what traditional event coverage might have achieved.
Your team's lesson about focusing on strengths, breaking down tasks into manageable pieces, and telling authentic stories is a valuable reminder for all storytellers and content creators. In a world where larger organizations often dominate the media landscape, finding your niche and leveraging your unique perspectives and connections can be a powerful differentiator.
This clip and the approach behind it exemplify the essence of storytelling – capturing moments that transcend mere events and speak to the deeper human experiences, emotions, and cultural connections that bind communities together. By embracing your strengths and staying true to the heart of the narrative, you've created a piece of content that will resonate for generations to come.
This is a 15 second clip of the mother of Henao Heni the crowned 2024 Hiri Hanenamo Queen captured by our team at Skerah Media.
No words, no text, just pure emotion of a woman watching her daughter sway to the beat of the “sede” - a traditional bamboo musical instrument played by the men.
This is the feeling a lot of Motu Koitabuans have to see their children dressed in traditional costume swaying to the traditional sounds.
Now, when we wanted to be involved we opted to be different. We obviously can’t match the larger organizations, but what we did know is that we knew the historical background of the event, we knew the culture and if you are a Papua New Guinean, you know culture means emotion, proud, pride. So we had an idea about the participants their likely emotions.
Our team decided to look for opportunities in areas the larger media organizations probably wouldn’t spend too much time on. We wanted to tell a story through video or image what this moment means to them to us.
The interesting thing about this clip though is that these emotions were captured well before her daughter was announced as the winner. She was emotional and proud well before the results were announced.
This clip resonated with a lot of people judging by the numbers and all numbers are organic views in two days.

It actually taught us a lesson too. Don’t worry about the bigger businesses. Understand your weaknesses for sure but focus on your strengths. Cut the big task down into pieces and focus only on those you can do a good job on or you can do it better. Tell your story!

Nothing better to break a LinkedIn hiatus, than a project announcement 📢
No other project has gave me so much pride and sense of accomplishment. This is for the Maria, that a while back, started dreaming about this path.
Motion and animation, above all, is a media; a tool to transform and communicate ideas and stories. This is the story of Romina, but also the story of the struggle of women trying to get back the fundamental rights over their bodies. But I believe it's also about community and support for what's right. It will always amaze me how much we can accomplish when people come together.
Quite like this project itself, that started with Bee Grandinetti searching for animators to help her bring this to life. I found myself part of something bigger, touched by the many hands of people I admire deeply, and now we can say we accomplished something together. Thank you to Paola Mendoza, for shining a light right through stories like Romina's, and Bee Grandinetti for allowing me to be part of this and for designing all of this so beautifully.
