This past weekend some of our team got together to do a little giving back to our community. We spent our time with the wonderful team at Chicago Patchwork Farms where we helped them get their city farm ready for the season. Here's some more about the organization; Chicago Patchwork Farms is a vegetable farm dedicated to transforming contaminated city land into bio-diverse community space while improving accessibility of healthy food to our neighbors. We remediate vacant land on Chicago’s south and west sides; neighborhoods that are economically deprived and environmentally distressed, providing space in the community for outdoor gatherings, native pollinator habitat, and food crops. The farm’s diverse operation produces an extensive variety of vegetables, as well as eggs, medicinal herbs, preserved foods, honey, cut flowers, and a compost drop-off program. They are dedicated to growing healing, medicinal food and vibrant community.

Their weekly open volunteer hours at the City Farm location (550 W Division St.) begin on Sunday May 28th from 10AM-2PM and we highly recommend checking it out! You may just run into some of our team there because we will absolutely be back!

Our AMA Director is SABRINA LASSEGUE! The sky is the limit for this inspiring woman. Not only is she a director... she's an actress, producer, writer, as well as the founder and head of her production company Yellow Rain Productions. She trained at the American Musical Dramatic Academy for acting. Lassegue is best known for her award winning short film on human trafficking, "For the Taken". As a black woman in film, she believes in doing everything it takes to provide the world with good, meaningful story telling, while providing the representation the world deserves to see. As if she didn't seem busy enough, she also runs her TikTok where she gives important insight into the industry and details her filmmaking journey. Sabrina was recently signed as a director and we'll be talking about all this and more in one short week.

Our friend Imani shared this article with us and after reading it the message is clear. WE NEED MORE WOMEN & NON BINARY PEOPLE IN FILM. The numbers are on the decline and it's unacceptable. Here's a snippet:

"The USC Annenberg report found that of the 111 directors hired to make the 100 top-grossing movies last year, just 9% were women. That was down from 12.7% in 2021. At the same time, the number of Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latino and multi-racial and multi-ethnic moviemakers also fell from 27.3% in 2021 to 20.7% in 2022. Women of color accounted for a mere 2.7% of directors of the top 100 movies last year. The declines come as the movie business, and particularly the major studios that call the shots, have been under pressure to provide more opportunities to female artists and people of color in the wake of social justice and advocacy movements such as and .
