Circum-Flash: Thank You!!! (To Circumspect's wonderful readers + participants)


Happy Thanksgiving and Eid Mubarak to everyone!!! This weekend has been a power packed one: a deep well of thanksgiving that has surely overflown its boundaries. And of course, such a special weekend can't go unnoticed!!! I think it's really special that two holidays set aside for reminding ourselves of how lucky and blessed we each are, were commemorated back-to-back! And in addition to the turkeys and lambs, I hope we all took a moment or two to be thankful for something.

In that spirit, I'd like to say thanks to all of you who follow Circumspect (publicly or under an invisible cloak), comment on my posts, make suggestions, or simply email me. I cannot express how much I appreciate you guys for joining in the Circumspect experience, and I'm learning as much (if not more) as you are (I hope). It's crazy cos I never anticipated that this blogging experience would grow as large as it has. And sometimes, its all very overwhelming.

At moments when I've felt like I cannot go on, or it's taking up a lot of my time, or I should take a break, I get a message of encouragement from one of you lovely people, and I'm reminded that Circumspect is making an impact. Not only in the quest for increased information access, but also on me as an individual. So thanks a bunch for the feedback, comment, criticisms, suggestions, recognition, all that fun stuff. And as always, if there's more where those came from, bring them along! Merci a tout le monde! It's been an honor serving y'all, and I look forward to even more of such opportunities! Keep your eyes peeled, 'cos Circumspect has more coming your way!

Best,
Jemila

P.S. I got the opportunity to interview one of the most amazing and exceptional leaders of our time, Harriet Fulbright. She inspires me, and I hope she inspires you too! Enjoy!! >> http://devex.com/articles/for-harriet-fulbright-education-s-end-goal-is-peace

Review of 'The Perfect Picture' & the Ghanaian Movie Industry

The Ghana-Naija movie industry saga. That's always a tough one where I'm concerned. On the one hand is my allegiance to Ghana - my motherland, homeland and basically where most of my formative years were spent. On the other hand is my undeniable connection to Nigeria - my birthland and the land of my ancestors. Even though I barely remember that much about Nigeria, I do joke about when I will "finally return to my birthland." Maybe it's this umbilical connection, that makes me slightly biased towards Nollywood when it comes to the Ghana-Naija movie saga. Truth be told, I barely paid Ghanaian movies enough mind when I was growing up. I was more likely to watch a Nigerian movie instead, and even then, I was picky. Ramsey Noah or Genevive Nnaji had to be part of the cast. Why this bias towards Naija movies? It's simple really; their acting was generally better. These days, I'm more willing to watch anything Ghana-related. For one thing, the surges of homesi
