Black Women Always

A defining manual for artists, creators, and executives to manifest a career and a life you love, written by ‘Wizard in a Tracksuit’ Kevin Morosky. Kevin shares stories and inspiration from the Black women who have most influenced his creative path and explores the ways we can pursue success by implementing their wisdom in all aspects of life.Culture isn’t a science; it is literal magic… You have to live in it. You have to breathe it. This is a playbook for allowing your personal identity to live in and guide all parts of your creative enterprise. Through a series of conversations which consider themes of work, love, friendship, family, spirituality, empathy, home, self-care, and creativity, filmmaker and creative director Kevin Morosky invites the Black women he considers his most trusted advisors, family, oldest friends, and biggest inspirations to reminisce on their journeys and reflect on the lessons they have learned on the way.Through their stories, we explore how each of these figures have got to where they are today, while Kevin shares how they have helped shape his own life and career. Kevin breaks down the core elements of his own approach to work and life, so that others with similar backgrounds to him can feel seen and learn how to succeed in the creative world.Contents and Contributors: 1 Introduction – Nana Bempah 2 The Past – Mum & Tayla 3 Playing the Game – Nana Bempah 4 Resilience – Kuchenga 5 Boundaries – Julie Adenuga 6 Patience – Elizabeth Anionwu 7 Autonomy – Shygirl 8 Identity – Bianca Saunders 9 Presence – Perri Shakes-Drayton 10 Intuition / Culture – Kelechi Okafor 11 Rider / Collaboration – Audrey Indome 12 Redefining Home / The Big Idea – Paula Sutton & Africa Daley Clarke 13 Storytelling – Terri Walker 14 Focus – Lady Phyll 15 A South London tone of voice – Rivah & Remi Sade 16 Friendship / Inspiration – Ashley Madekwe & Bushira Attah 17 Communication – Candice Brathwaite 18 Principles – Mpho McKenzie 19 Self-care before self-care – Selma Nicholls 20 Discipline – Marawa the Amazing 21 The Game – Michaela Yearwood-Dan 22 Integrity – Jamelia 23 Money – Aja Barber 24 Virgos – Gynelle Leon 25 Understanding – Carole Langran 26 Fun – Tolly T
