You Know I Love Stories Like This of Perseverance
Hi Sorors, It's Nnegest Likké, (#22 Fall '88 Sigma Chapter for those of you who don't know me). I have a movie coming out in theaters nationwide on April 7th which I wrote and directed starring Mo'Nique. I have been struggling to make a breakthrough in the film/entertainment business for the past 15 years and finally the break has come thanks to a producer/financier who believed in me and my project. It took 3 years to get this story from script to screen and now it is here. This is a huge accomplishment indeed and a blessing from God. The Lord is truly faithful! I hope you will be inspired by my testimony that PERSEVERANCE PAYS! Now I am praying for a strong opening weekend at the Box Office because that is how studios gauge a movie's success. So please support me by coming out in groups to see the film opening weekend and also by spreading the word about the movie to EVERYONE you know and forwarding the attached Phat Girlz e-flyer to everyone in your e-address book. THANK YOU!!! Please foward this announcement to everyone you know.
See ya at the movies!!!
If you liked Tyler Perry's movies, get ready, cuz you're gonna love PHAT GIRLZ, starring our favorite comedian diva Mo'Nique. Coming out April 7th, this film promises to be the funniest, most inspiring, uplifting good time you've had in theaters in ages. It's Written & Directed by first time, black filmmaker, Nnegest Likké, who stepped out on faith and quit her day job to shoot this film independently, so pass the word. Come out April 7th and bring ya mama, ya daddy, ya cousins, ya grandma, cousin Ray-Ray and all ya friends. We helped Tyler Perry prove to the world that we support our own! Now, let's help Nnegest prove it with Phat Girlz ! Show your love & support by coming out in groups on opening weekend for this positive black movie.

Great article on the writer, although they called Clark Atlanta University Clark University, and it was Clark College when she was there, but no biggie. Glad to see my fellow AUC Alum doing well.
The story of the guy that financed it that died was amazing as well.

You are a nut. I was really impressed with what I read. Pulled her GPA from a 0.8  to 3.8.
I hope we can share this with our GEMS and Academy girls.

Wonderful article
I will definitely be in the front row as soon as this movie makes it my way! I have always been a fan of Monique's and the fact that a Soror is involved in this project is just the icing on the cake.

Congratulations on a Delta member being the screenwriter and director of a movie. This is a great accomplishment for anyone. I'm glad that faith was kept, and the movie will be released in theatres soon. I will pray that this will be a box office hit, and that this will set a great example for all inspiring directors, screenwriters, etc.
I feel the movie will do well for various reasons. One is due to Mo'Nique starring in the movie. A lot of people love her comedy in general. Two, this role fits her and supports her comedy that she already does. She embraces her plus size and says skinny girls are evil. Third, I believe this is a movie that a lot of people may be able to relate to. These are just a few reasons why I can automatically see its success.
Also, pulling a GPA up that high is a hard task. That's amazing. Hard work and dedication had to be the key to achieving that goal. Another example that shows you can do anything you put your mind too. Deltas have always been known for their GPAs.

Whyyyy do people keep giving this woman work? The sooner she and Halle Berry are pushed out of Hollywood, the better.
