Be Bold, Be Bright: Derek Amarillas’ Debut Book “Socko” Teaches Kids the Power of Showing Up as Themselves

Written by Tajala Kelly on . Posted in Education, Fashion, Health and Beauty, Influential People, lgbtq, Top 10.

From boardrooms to bookstores, Derek Amarillas is redefining what it means to take risks and live boldly. The former finance executive has stepped into the literary world with Socko, a heartwarming children’s picture book that celebrates individuality, resilience, and the freedom to be unapologetically yourself.

Inspired by his own childhood experiences of feeling “too much” and often misunderstood, Derek created Socko—a flamingo who proudly wears tennis shoes and just wants to dance. But Socko isn’t just a character; he’s a symbol of courage, self-expression, and the inner artist that lives in all of us.

“Growing up, I had to carve space for myself in rooms that didn’t feel built for me,” Derek shares. “Socko represents the part of me that insists on showing up boldly, even when the world says, ‘tone it down.’”

Originally written as a gift for his mother-in-law, the story quickly evolved into something more powerful after a close friend read it during a difficult time. Her emotional response lit a creative fire in Derek, leading him to publish Socko and share it with the world.

But it wasn’t without doubt. “Imposter syndrome is real,” Derek admits. “There were moments I questioned if I was good enough. But I realized creativity, for me, has always been about survival. It’s how I’ve adapted and made sense of the world.”

What makes Socko even more personal is the intentional symbolism packed into every detail—from the flamingo’s flair to the bold sneakers, inspired by Derek’s husband’s love of statement footwear. “Your look is your legend,” he says. “Tell it with pride.”

Beyond the pages, Derek is committed to uplifting young readers through school partnerships and community programs. He’s especially excited about upcoming collaborations with ASL programs, where the story will be shared through sign language to reach even more children in inclusive and accessible ways.

“The feedback I’ve received—especially from kids and parents who find pieces of themselves in Socko—has been overwhelming,” he reflects. “It reminds me why I do this.”

So what’s next for Derek Amarillas? With a vault of creative stories already written and a renewed sense of purpose guiding him, he’s just getting started.

You can purchase Socko the Flamingo with Tennis Shoes—published by Palmetto Publishing on July 29, 2025—on Amazon here:

One thing’s for sure: in a world that often tells us to dim our light, Socko teaches kids—and adults—to lace up their sneakers, stand tall, and dance anyway.

The Power of Us: Vanessa Bouie and Her Family’s Blueprint for Success

Written by The Recap Report Staff on . Posted in Business, Fashion, Health and Beauty, Influential People, Lifestyle.

When I think about what it means to build something beautiful out of uncertain times, I think about the Bouie family. I think about Vanessa, her husband, and their two boys-how they gathered around the kitchen table, not just to share a meal, but to share a dream. I think about how, in a world that so often tries to pull us apart, their story is a reminder that the most revolutionary act is to hold your family close and build together.

See, we live in a world that loves to celebrate the individual-the solo founder, the lone genius. But the real magic? It happens when Black men and Black women stand shoulder to shoulder, raising each other up, showing their children what partnership, devotion, and love look like in action. That’s what the Bouies have done with Fancy Homebody. They’ve made family the foundation, not the footnote.

When the world shut down, the Bouies opened up. They opened their home, their hearts, and their hands to a vision that was bigger than any one of them alone. Vanessa didn’t just start a business-she started a movement. She showed us that comfort and style can live in the same space, that you can build an empire in slippers and sweats, and that you don’t need anyone’s permission to chase your joy.

But let’s be clear: this isn’t just Vanessa’s story. This is a story of a husband who believed, who packed boxes and mapped out logistics, who stood in the background and sometimes in the spotlight, so his wife could shine. This is a story of two young boys who watched their parents turn late nights and early mornings into lessons about grit, faith, and possibility. This is a story of a family that modeled what it means to show up for each other, every single day.

And isn’t that the revolution? Isn’t that the hope? That our sons and daughters see us, not just hustling, but loving. Not just building, but building together. That they know Black love is strong, Black families are resilient, and Black businesses can thrive when we move as one.

Vanessa is the face of her brand, yes-but she’s also the heart. She steps in front of the camera not just to sell a product, but to show her sons, and all our daughters, what confidence looks like. She models for Fancy Homebody because she wants every woman to see herself reflected, to know that she is enough, just as she is.

Today, the Bouie family stands as a beacon-a reminder that when we invest in each other, when we honor our roots and nurture our dreams, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish. They show us that success isn’t just about numbers or milestones, though they have plenty of those. It’s about legacy. It’s about love.

So let’s hold up the Bouies as an example, not just of business success, but of what’s possible when Black men and Black women love each other out loud, when they build together, when they refuse to let the world define their limits. That’s the new revolution. And WE, are here for it.

Ayiti! Ayiti! Ayiti! Director Robenson Lauvince’s Film ‘July 7’ Reclaims Haiti’s Narrative on President Moïse’s Assassination

Written by Tajala Kelly on . Posted in Business, Education, Entertainment, Fashion, Featured, Influential People, Lifestyle, Top 10, Trending.

Robenson Lauvince, Director

In the heart of Atlanta, I sat down with Haitian filmmaker Robenson Lauvince to discuss one of the most anticipated international films in recent years: July 7th: Who Killed the President of Haiti? What began as an exploration of a tragic political event unfolded into a conversation about legacy, truth, and the power of telling your own story.

From the opening of our conversation, Lauvince made it clear—this was more than just a movie. “It’s the first time we get to talk about ourselves,” he said. And he meant that literally. With 90% of the cast and crew being Haitian, the film is deeply intentional in its authenticity. Shot in Creole and French, and featuring cultural giants like former Miss Universe Haiti and acclaimed author Gary Victor, the project is a landmark achievement in Haitian storytelling.

A Story That Had to Be Told

When asked what compelled him to tell this story, Robenson didn’t hesitate. “Haiti is the first Black independent nation in the world,” he said, passionately. “But we’ve always been silenced. Misrepresented. Forgotten.” That frustration turned into fire, fueling a production that became his most serious and personal work to date.

The film’s gripping trailer—tense, evocative, and emotionally rich—set the tone for what audiences could expect. But Robenson revealed it wasn’t just crafted for impact—it was a solo mission. Due to the language barrier with his production team, he had to create the trailer on his own. “I wanted it to feel urgent. Honest. I wanted people to want more.”

Not Just a Day, But a Movement

While the film’s title references the day Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated, Lauvince emphasizes that the story isn’t confined to that moment. “This isn’t about one day,” he said. “It’s about how we got here. About a system designed to divide us.”

The film dives deep into Haiti’s historical, cultural, and spiritual foundation. It’s a layered portrayal of a people often painted in a singular, monolithic way. And it’s not afraid to hold a mirror up to internal conflict either—highlighting how systemic manipulation often turns Haitian against Haitian.

A Global Response Rooted in Pride

With over $60,000 in pre-sale tickets and a Miami premiere that drew over 2,000 attendees, the response has been overwhelming. Haitians across the globe—UK, Africa, Canada, and beyond—bought tickets even if they couldn’t attend. “We’re prideful,” Robenson said. “When one of us does something good, we show up.”

That energy has caught on outside of the Haitian community too, with African-American executive producers and allies joining the movement. “Our PR rep is a woman, my assistant director is a woman—it’s women that have driven this engine.”

The Risk and the Reward

Taking on a story of this magnitude wasn’t just emotionally heavy—it was dangerous. “This kind of truth-telling comes with risk,” Robenson admitted. “People don’t know your intentions. They don’t know what you might reveal.”

Robenson Lauvince, Director

But the reward? Global distribution. A cultural awakening. And perhaps most importantly, a reminder to Haitians everywhere that their voice, their pain, and their power matter.

“We can’t wait for others to tell our stories anymore. If you’re a singer, sing. If you’re a writer, write. If you’re a filmmaker, make films. That’s how we take our voice back.”

As for what’s next? Robenson teased more Caribbean-rooted stories—less political, but equally powerful. And while he carries the weight of a nation’s voice, he does so with pride, clarity, and unshakable purpose.

Cocoa Brown on Finding Healing and Strength in Comedy, Motherhood, and Her New Film ‘Twisted Hearts’

Written by Tajala Kelly on . Posted in Entertainment, Fashion, Influential People, Top 10.

Actress. Comedian. Mother. Mogul. Cocoa Brown is all these things and more—but above all, she is real.

In an intimate sit-down interview with The Recap Report, Cocoa Brown opened up about her multifaceted journey in entertainment, the healing power of comedy, and how she continues to reinvent herself through life’s highest highs and lowest lows.

Actress & Comedian Cocoa Brown

“The Only Purpose I Have on That Stage Is to Free Me.” 

From her roles in For Better or Worse, 9-1-1, and Never Have I Ever, Cocoa Brown brings heart, grit, and humor to every character. When asked how she breathes life into her roles, she shared, “I always try to find a connection between me and those characters… Carla was the nurturer in me. Jennifer was every girl I knew in high school—hood but with a heart of gold.”

But beyond the camera, the stage has always been her sanctuary. “Comedy is my therapy,” she admitted. “Those people in the audience are my therapists and don’t even know it. I get to purge, say what I need to say, and keep myself sane in an insane world.”

Twisted Hearts, Real Healing

In her latest film Twisted Hearts, Brown plays a no-nonsense therapist—an easy yes for her. “All my friends have called me Oprah since college,” she joked. “Everybody wants to tell me their problems. I’m not political—I just keep it real.”

For Brown, the role wasn’t just acting—it was reflection. “Love is vulnerable. Love is transparent,” she said, speaking on the film’s themes. “You gotta love you first. Heal your trauma, or you’ll traumatize others.”

Wigs of Love: Turning Loss into Legacy

Outside of Hollywood, Brown is the founder of Wigs of Love, a nonprofit born in memory of her aunt and countless women battling hair loss due to illness. “Our hair is an extension of us, especially as Black women,” she shared. The organization provides custom wigs, support services, and an annual red carpet-style celebration honoring survivors. “We let them know: you are more than lupus—you are a queen.”

And it’s inclusive: “Whether you’re feminine or masculine presenting, we got you. These wigs are custom. Send us your top three hairstyles—we got you.”

After the Fire: A New Foundation

In 2024, Brown lost her home in a devastating fire—an event that shook her, but also freed her. “That house had to go. I had let a lot of vampires in. The energy was heavy,” she revealed. “After the fire, my son said, ‘Can we never go back?’ And I knew—we were finally at peace.”

But what followed was a reminder of who she is, and who she has impacted. From Tyler Perry to Chris Tucker, an outpouring of support followed. “I didn’t ask for a dime. But my village showed up because of the seeds I’ve sown.”

Raising Her Greatest Role Yet

Motherhood changed everything. “It’s the best gig I’ve ever gotten,” she smiled. “I hustle for my son now. I’ve done everything I wanted—this is all for him.”

As a single mother raising a son, she’s mastered the balance of masculine and feminine energy. “He’s seen both sides of me. But I’ve also made sure he has strong male mentors. I’m raising the man of my dreams.”

A Word to the Dreamers

For those chasing dreams, Brown keeps it honest. “I think about quitting every week,” she confessed. “This industry isn’t for the weak. It’s a popularity contest. One minute you’re hot, the next you’re not.”

But her advice? “Learn the craft. Then learn how to market it online. Because Hollywood is looking on TikTok—not the clubs. And through it all, take God with you.”

What’s Next?

From her luxe collection of “Minty Toes” foot balm to her signature lashes, t-shirts, and menopause-ready hand towels, Cocoa Brown continues to build an empire. And if you want to keep up, she keeps it simple:

As for how she wants to be remembered?

“That I had a good heart. That I loved my child. That I was accountable. That I was real.”
