Introducing: Abiola Abrams
I would like to introduce to you guys an author by the name of Abiola Abrams. Here is a short bio;
Abiola Abrams is the host of BET's THE BEST SHORTS on BET-J (26 Million viewers strong throughout the US and Caribbean), filmmaker, and published author who gives motivational talks. Her first novel DARE (Simon & Schuster) is an intelligent, fun and sexy story about finding true love and self-esteem in the crazy world of entertainment. Abiola Abrams’ artistic mini-movies– ranging from edgy 'chick flicks' to socially conscious docs - investigate the themes of gender, race and empowerment, and her work has screened/ been performed in theaters, museums, galleries and festivals in London, West Africa, Germany, South America, the West Indies and in the US. The goal of all of Abiola's work is to use pop culture entertainment to create uncommon inspiration: culturally, politically, emotionally and sexually. Abiola has BA from Sarah Lawrence and an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She is an opinionated tastemaker, cheerleader, fashionista, cultural critic and all around blabbermouth. She’s every girl’s best friend and every guy’s girlfriend-- based in Harlem, with roots in Guyana, and at home in your living room.
A writer, filmmaker and TV personality, Abiola Abrams is also the creator of The Until the Violence Stops Women's Film Festival in association with V-Day. Former Producing Host of HBO's interstitial politically incorrect talk show CHAT ZONE and syndicated NBC hip hop news show THE SOURCE: ALL ACCESS, Abiola's writing is featured in current anthology A Memory, a Monologue, a Rant, and a Prayer by Eve Ensler alongside the writings of Maya Angelou, Edward Albee and Alice Walker. Her writing is also featured in upcoming anthologies Behind the Bedroom Door by Paula Derrow (Self Magazine) and Dirty Words: A Literary Encyclopedia of Sex by Ellen Sussman.
She's written a new book entitled Dare.
Here's an excert of a game that was invented by one of her characters Maya. It's called Hip Hop Bingo:
