I haven't won many contests. A Dancing contest in gym in 12th grade with a bunch of kids who couldn't dance. A prayer book I did with my mom. But....
My big win was for my public access show on BRIC TV, Brooklyn public access. My team did an episode on the Black Panther and Christopher Priest which I must say needs a lot of work now. The people at BRIC liked it. So they put it in their B Free Awards show. We were up for the B Informed award. The Plan was to stay for that award and leave. So they show the nominees of the award and it's all of these important documentaries.... against my little fair use Documentary on Christopher Priest...There was no chance we would win, but we did.
The whole place is silent. I cursed a little to myself thinking this was ridiculous. My friend and co-producer was so excited. He took the lead when we got to the mic. We weren't even dressed up. So my friend asked me to say something. I responded... "I want to give a moment to all of the nominees..." and that got a reaction. The people clapped. Then since I had them I did a joke about having to leave the stage cause we will miss our scheduled video on BRIC TV. We did the Wakanda forever signal and they applauded when we got off stage.
We stayed the rest of the night.
Then on their website, they had a picture of me looking like I was giving a State of the Union address, with my faded jeans on.
