You Never Know What's Behind A Smile...

Letisha Bush

Let’s face it, happiness seems pretty self explanatory. You smile, you laugh, maybe get a funny tickle in your stomach. That’s happiness, right? Well, my idea behind exploring this idea was really out of curiosity. I concluded that this was the one emotion everyone on earth wanted to feel. Whether you’re a Muslim, Christian, black, white, born into poverty or an heiress, there are no boundaries when it comes to happiness. We all want it.  These ideas lead me to find two extraordinary people who have lost happiness completely.  They have both felt the pain, the sorrow and the complete opposite of happiness.  This documentary explores happiness from their point of view. From darkness into light.  Not quite what you’d expect? Well, more reason for you to come see their journey for yourself. Maybe it will put a smile on your face, or remind you of how you’ve pushed through sadness and let happiness embrace you. Dadrian and I are both honored to share these stories with you…it was challenging, emotional, hilarious and incredibly fulfilling!

Finding Happiness, By Dadrian Robinson

Dadrian Robinson

When I first began this documentary I had a very vague perception on happiness and what it was to different people. Journeying into this film has made me realize that happiness is something that takes a lot of work and sometimes, unfortunately, hardship to obtain. It seems as if the people who are at their happiest place in life right now went through some sort of turmoil and hit their lowest points before they reached this place of contentment. Our documentary “Happy.” takes the audience through that journey with two amazing young women.
This film will make you laugh, smile and even cry! Happiness is a diverse emotion and I promise a joy ride on them all.

Skin Deep: Coming to a Channel Near You



Producers of Skin Deep, Monique Mitchell and Marsha Buchanan



This topic, black women dating "out" tends to generate a lot of controversy, but I thought it was important to bring it up due to statistics that I found shocking. Fact: Black men currently outnumber black women by almost 2 million. And the percentage of black men deciding not to marry is steadily increasing.

The concept of this documentary presents facts on the disparity of eligible black men; and the smaller pool black women have to choose from. Although I do believe there are good black men available, statistics show that the pickings have simply become slim. Skin Deep: Black Women Venturing Out is simply an idea, food for thought for all African American Women.
