Hey everyone,
Sorry for my inconsistent posts. I just got back from college not too long ago, (gotta go back August 26 :-D) and my Internet has been meessing up at home, so if and when I get a chance to post an entry, it'll probably be from work, which is where I'm currently at right now. Lol
Since no one had anything for me to do at work, I decided to check out VIBE magazine's website. I came across an article about Laurence Fishburne's daughter, Montana Fishburne. (Just in case y'all haven't heard, Miss Fishburne has a sex tape out.{GASP!!}) If you're interested in checking it out, she goes under the porn alias Chippy D. Everyone is talking about it, so I thought it would be nice to get her perspective. Needless to say, I thought wrong. When I read her comments about the tape, my heart sank.
According to VIBE's article, she is following in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian. (-_-) She saw how Kardashian's sex tape brought her fame and success, so she hopes this sex tape can do the same for her. (SMH) I guess she hasn't recently reviewed the success of her father, Lawerence Fishburne. Either that, or she just doesn't care.
I realize that everyone has to spread their wings to fly, and find their own way in life, but damn, does she have to idolize Kim Kardashian in that respect? Montana is a prime example of what idolizing these video vixens, or JUMP OFF's can do to the young ladies and little girls in society. Where are the power house female MC's, actresses, or hell even neighbor mentors that females, such as Montana,can look up to? Better yet, why haven't these females taken advantage of the programs out there that are designed for female empowerment? (SIGH)
I guess everyone has to learn at their own expense. I mean, look at Karrine Steffans, aka Superhead. She started out as a jump off. She messed around with celebs left and right, lived out of her car with her son, and popped drugs like pills, as if she needed Avil. But now she's a couple's instructor and a best selling author of 3 books. (Ain't God good?) Hopefully, Montana can make the same transformation as Steffans, or at least get the fame she so desires, because quite frankly, success is more than just producing a sex tape.Then again, success is in the eye of the beholder. If things don't go as planned, hopefully it'll be a lesson learned. Regardless of the former or the latter, no matter what happens in her future she will always be reminded of her past, and that's something she will never be able to change.

Until my next post, Be Blessed and make sure your LEGACY is like no other.

Well, there isn't really anything that I can add to this post besides the fact that Montana Fishburne did what she apparently felt was necessary. That said, I cannot imagine the disgusted feelings being felt by her dad.
Hope mines never places me in a similar position.
I can't either. Nor do I want to. It would be too depressing. I hope your daughter doesnt do that to u either. But no matter what decisions she makes, it's her life.
