HOROSCOPES BY KNOWYOURNUMB3RS KYA FRENCH

January 27, 2022 — February 2, 2022

Vinateria Preparation is the key to riding the wave to success now. Be resourceful if you want to receive the resources you need to advance your affairs. There are programs, trainings, assistance, mentors, and jobs within your communities. In January, you were fine-tuning your craft, skills, profession: researching and discovering things about yourself but on a spiritual plane. February is about planning to execute your goals and objectives for the purpose of advancement. Fate or destiny will play a role, be it spiritual, emotional, physical, or financial. Let go of what’s holding you back and be free to live in peace; however, fight for what you believe. This is a cycle of healing and defining the things we value. Home is essential, where love, unity, and building a foundation start.

Get ready for an adventure to explore your world in a different area within your work, partnerships, your love life and relationships, and being the God/Goddess and captain of your ship. Dive into the depths of your gold mine and go deeper within yourself to find your treasure. Once you receive the treasure, then will it into existence. There’s no limit to what you can do. The world is your oyster now. Apply the right amount of pressure to your agenda this week and work in silence completing your projects. As you transit this week, put your best foot forward and say what you mean, and mean what you say. There’s no time to waste. It’s about the planning. It’s about crossing all T’s and dotting all I’s. Choose the best investment that coincides with your vision. The universe operates in mysterious ways to relate messages to its people. You’ll be used as a vessel to spread the word. Sit in silence from time to time and discover what the universe is conveying to you. Patience is required, and pay attention to the details, the signs, the feelings you’re drawn to, and places you are drawn to as well. What do you value the most? Ask yourself, is it time to redirect the things you value most? This transit cycle for the remainder of the month is about learning to control your emotions in the best way. Listen to your intuition and follow your heart. This week, you may feel you’re on a soul mission to accomplish along your journey. Spiritually, you’re receiving the downloads or messages to carry it out on the physical plane. Semi legal matters and partnerships, along with an ending, or releasing, and soulful partnership, plays a role this transit week. Follow your gut and your own agenda. Planning for the future is the key this week. You’re about to be rewarded for the action you’re currently putting into play. The choices you make will lead you straight to the right resources. Continue to follow up, on the follow-up, to receive the results you want. How you deliver your message will be the key to unlocking the door to your success. But check in with yourself first. What’s your plan for the next 3, 6, or 9 months? Create a blueprint of what you envision for the rest of this year. Do the research to find out how to maneuver ahead with your plan. And, if you don’t know, or are unsure, ask your friends, neighbors, and people who’ve done the work for further advice and understanding.

Plant the right seeds this week if you want to Capricorn reap the benefits later on down the road this Dec 22 – Jan 21 year. What you desire is to go deep down inside and examine what it is you need to work on. Gather up the details of the pieces of the puzzle and paint the picture in a story form. Once you see what you can do, keep pushing until you’re comfortable and then go full force accepting more responsibilities. You are on a soul mission bringing a force together for a higher mission and purpose to be a resource both nationally and internationally. This is your year to manifest everything you’ve put on your vision board. The initiation is just the beginning to the next phase for the purpose of ascending to bring it together. Be original in your thoughts, agenda, and most importantly be you. Get the message to the people in all forms and methods from healing, to working and creating, envisioning ways to better themselves. You learn from hearing, seeing, reading, and life’s experience; it’s the meat and potatoes to putting it all together. Self-improvement is the best growth to broaden your horizons. You love facts and figures as well as looking at the recurring timeline in history in order to know what’s forthcoming. You have all the resources at your disposal to utilize at will this week. Ask around and see who does what, and where to find it, and then apply it for yourself. Your neighbors, colleagues, and friends are willing to cooperate and build with you. When you show up, they know what to expect. The key is working together to build a foundation and to genuinely be of assistance to others. Work, home, family, duty, and responsibilities are all pulling at once this year. This cycle suggests things are revealing themselves to you as time unfolds. A separation, a divorce, and things coming to a head of the culmination seem to be on the rise. You may feel it in your soul and in your body that it’s time to prepare for renewal. The smell of change is sweeter than the victory this cycle. You’re already in the forcefield, applying hands-on, with mud on your hands. You don’t mind doing the work, rendering or elevating you to sit at the round table with the bosses and those in higher authority. You’re resourceful in your wisdom to make anything turn into gold. You look at the good, and indifferent, and tie it all together to make it applicable to your specific needs.

Special to the AmNews

In a last-minute decision to keep people safe, the 2022 Sundance Film Festival has gone virtual—to take a deep dive and to learn more, hit the website. https://festival.sundance.org/

Since Sundance had to pivot and return to a virtual festival this year, in theory, the festival is more accessible than ever. Moreover, the selection includes feature films, documentaries, shorts, and experimental programs.

To be frank, the 2022 Sundance festival feels light on African American storytelling and storytellers.

Here are a few more highlights that caught our eye.

“ᎤᏕᏲᏅ ( (pronounced oo-de-yoNUH) (What They’ve Been Taught)”

Directed by Brit Hensel with Keli Gonzales.

Exploring expressions of reciprocity in the Cherokee world, brought to life through a story told by an elder and first language speaker, Hensel is the first woman who is a citizen of Cherokee Nation to direct an official selection at the festival. Watch the trailer: https://bit. ly/3GF77qH

As the proud first lady of a Southern Baptist megachurch, Trinitie Childs carries immense responsibility on her shoulders. Starring Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown.

This film is the first collaborative feature by Anisia Uzeyman and slam poet Saul Williams that hacks the conventions of moviemaking to give us this musical science fiction hybrid set in Rwanda about a transcending connection between an intersex runaway, Neptune (played by both Cheryl Isheja and Elvis Ngabo “Bobo”), and a grieving coltan miner (Bertrand Ninteretse “Kaya Free”).

“Aftershock”

Directed by Tonya Lewis Lee (Spike Lee’s wife) and Paula Eiselt.

Following the deaths of their partners due to preventable childbirth complications and medical negligence, two bereaved fathers galvanize activists, birth-workers, and physicians to reckon with one of the most pressing yet unspoken American crises of our time—the U.S. maternal health crisis.

“Master”

Directed by Mariama Diallo.

Three women strive to find their place at an elite New England university. As the insidious specter of racism haunts the campus in increasingly supernatural fashion, each fights to survive in this space of privilege.

Starring Regina Hall, Zoe Renee, Talia Ryder, Talia Balsam, Amber Gray.

“Emergency”

Directed by Carey Williams.

Straight-A college student Kunle and his laid-back best friend, Sean, are about to have the most epic night of their lives. Determined to be the first Black students to complete their school’s frat party legendary tour, the friends strap in for their ultimate assignment. that you are aware that large sections of Harlem are now populated by hard-working immigrants from Mexico. The shift in the new immigrants uptown piqued my interest, and once I watched the wonderfully crafted “Mija,” I knew that I wanted to know more.

“Mija” focuses on Doris Muñoz, an ambitious, young music manager whose undocumented family depends on her ability to launch pop stars. When she loses her best client, Doris hustles to discover new talent and finds Jacks—another daughter of immigrants for whom “making it” isn’t just a dream: it’s a necessity.

Isabel Castro is a four-time Emmy-nominated, Mexican American filmmaker who combines a practice in journalism and art to tell stories about immigration, civil rights, and identity. She splits her time between Mexico City and Los Angeles.

Castro directed, produced, and filmed the Emmy-nominated, award-winning documentary short “USA v. Scott” (Tribeca 2020, The New Yorker), Emmy-nominated “Darlin” (Tribeca 2019, NYT OpDocs), and the Emmy-nominated Netflix docu-series “Pandemic.” Her debut project “Crossing Over” (Univision/Participant Media) won a 2015 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Documentary. Interviews about her work on “Crossing Over” were nominated for two additional GLAAD awards. She’s worked on dozens of stories as a producer, cinematographer and multimedia journalist for The New York Times, as an Edward R. Murrow-award winning producer at The Marshall Project, on two seasons of the Emmy-award winning series “VICE” on HBO, and as an Emmy-nominated producer covering civil rights and policy at VICE News Tonight on HBO.

“Mija” is her feature-length debut. “Mija” has received support from the Sundance Institute, Impact Partners, Cinereach, the SFFILM Catapult Documentary Fellowship, Points North Institute / CNN Films, Fork Films, Chicken & E! Pictures, Firelight Media, and NBCU Academy & NBC News Studios Original Voices. Castro is an artist-in-residence at Concordia Studio, and was named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film” and DOC NYC’s “40 Under 40”, both in 2021.

Here is what Isabel Castro had to share about making the documentary “Mija” which will screen at the Sundance Film Festival, 2022.

AMSTERDAM NEWS: How did this project originate?

ISABEL CASTRO: I spent years covering immigration for media outlets, including The New York Times and The Marshall Project. While I’m proud of that work, I also found myself frustrated by the limitations of those formats. I was longing to convey the incredibly complex dynamics of immigrant families and all the emotions they navigate, including guilt, resentment, and anger. So I turned to filmmaking.

AMN: What interested you in making “Mija”?

IC: I was particularly interested in telling this kind of story from the perspective of young protagonists. As a teenager, I felt like there was a shortage of stories about what it meant to come of age as an immigrant or as a child of immigrants in the United States. I wanted to tell the kind of story I craved myself, as a Mexican immigrant when I was figuring out my identity, family, and community.
