San Francisco - It's a family affair! The story of the San Francisco Black Film Festival is the perfect backdrop for this year's theme "The Trajectory of the Black Family Through Film!" The San Francisco Black Film Festival, June 17-19 at various venues in San Francisco in its 13 th year has its second year of leadership under Kali O'Ray and his life partner Katera Crossley. O'Ray is the son of the founder of the San Francisco Black Film Festival, the late Ave Montague! The legacy of Ave Montague who some called the unofficial Mayor of the Fillmore continues as young O'Ray learns the ropes of the film festival scene. His foray into this brave new world comes with the community embracing his efforts.
"When I saw the kids (Kali and Katera) putting their heart into something Ave worked so hard to establish, I immediately positioned the Lush Life Gallery and Jazz Heritage Life Center as a partner to help," said Peter Fitzsimmons. "We're all responsible for keeping our history alive and making a way for future generations. I hope all of San Francisco comes on board and helps keep this vital work of Ave moving forward. She sacrificially gave so much of herself to the Fillmore and San Francisco community." (Tickets on Sale in June)

She cooks delicate delights
She writes Haiku poetry and enlights
Chef and writer some say she has her cake and eats it too
Congratulations to Tiffany Armstrong on the publication of her first book. You could call it a family affair as her husband Brian Gorman did the printing for the publication. Check out her book "Haikus for SoulPeople" as she weaves a cultural exchange through Haiku Poetry-a Japanese traditional poetic art form. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line while haiku in English often appear in three lines to parallel the three phrases of Japanese haiku (Wikipedia).
Owner of "Fif (sic) Element Catering, Tiffany Armstrong was inspired to write by her mother, Kelly Armstrong, an image consultant and instructor at City College and her favorite poet, Nikki Giovanni.
