  Creative Affinity. Digital art created on canvas. December 30, 2024.

  Sparks of Connection. Digital art created on canvas. December 29, 2024. Afrika Abney “The 2014 Hallmark Channel movie When Sparks Fly is about a journalist who returns to her hometown to write about her family's fireworks business and reconnects with her old love:  The point The movie's point is that the life and love you left behind are what you've been missing.  The story Amy Peterson (Meghan Markle) is a journalist who returns to her hometown to write a story about her family's fireworks business for the Chicago Post.

My hometown is Washington, DC and I am not a huge fan of fireworks. I believe that they are toxic and dangerous. 

  Love in the Spotlight. Digital art created on canvas. December 29, 2024. Afrika Abney “The 2020 movie Emerson Heights explores the idea of whether it's possible to pursue one's passion while also following one's heart. The movie tells the story of Cody McClain (Austin James), an aspiring actor in Los Angeles who falls in love with Briley Williams (Gatlin Green), a woman from New York. The two begin a long-distance relationship, but Cody's career takes off when he lands the lead role in a blockbuster film. He struggles to balance his newfound fame with his feelings for Briley, especially when his co-star develops feelings for him.  Some say that the movie is a cute love story that inspires viewers to look for real love. Others say that Austin James carries the movie, and that it was likely a passion project for him.  You can watch Emerson Heights on Pluto TV.” I visited New York from 1992 - 1993 and during this time, I was a high school student. I have always followed ...

  The act of conveying messages without the use of spoken words is a profound form of communication. This silent expression can manifest through various means, such as body language, facial expressions, and gestures. In many instances, the subtleties of silence can convey emotions, feelings, and thoughts more powerfully than verbal articulation. Silence is not merely the absence of sound but a rich tapestry of meaning that can enhance relationships and facilitate deeper connections. I have said many things in silence. However, I remain puzzled as to why so many single straight men over the age of 30 remain clueless.  Real genuine love is an emotional expression built of genuine feelings and affection. Not personal agendas and manipulation.  This post is inspired by the “Say it with Silence, “ by Hubert Laws, 1978 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppl-lDRVUzo). In 1978, I was 2 years old and drew attraction to many things. 

  Echoes of Affection. Digital art created on canvas. December 29, 2024. Afrika Abney  “Long nights, short mornings (2016 television movie) is about an examination of the romantic life of a young man in New York City and his sometimes fleeting, sometimes profound experiences with the women he encounters.” I visited New York City from 1992 - 1993 and was a high school student at that time. Yesterday, I watched this movie and am not an advocate of open relationships. I believe in long term commitment, respect, trust, honesty and candidness.  In 2016, I provided numerous services and have not provided any dance services since 2016. 

  The Truth of Love. Digital art created on canvas. December 29, 2024. Afrika Abney  The Truth about Love highlights a deeper exploration of love beyond the superficial promises of matchmaking. The Truth of Love is built completely on pure trust, respect, understanding, appreciation, affection, and loyalty.  “The point of the 2023 movie The Soulmate Search is to expose a dating service as a con and to find justice for those who were misled:  The premise: Ellen, an artist, and Will, a lawyer, are both disappointed with their first dates on the exclusive dating service Eternity. They decide to get their money back, but Eternity is difficult to find and they realize they've been conned. The outcome: Ellen and Will join forces to expose Eternity and hold them accountable.

  Cooperative Capital. Digital art created on canvas. December 28, 2024. Afrika Abney  “Cooperative economics embodies a dedication to the principles of collective social prosperity and the efforts required to realize this goal. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration among individuals and communities to ensure that resources are distributed equitably, fostering an environment where everyone can benefit from shared wealth. This approach not only seeks to enhance the economic well-being of participants but also aims to create a more just and sustainable society.”

  “In the Company of Men is a 1997 drama film about two men who plot to ruin a woman's life to get revenge on the female gender:  Plot: Two junior executives, Chad and Howard, are recently hurt by women and decide to get revenge on the female gender.

Interesting title for a movie which was released when I was 20 years old. In the television movie - In the Company of Men, Howard told Kristen about the contest that he and Chad made to go out with Kristen. It is never a good idea to play with people's feelings, lifestyle, economics ...

  “Candid about Love (Television Movie 2023) is about Laura, a gallery assistant and wannabe fine-art photographer, is finally promised a spot in a Newcomer's Showcase--but only if she can get a reclusive artist, Shane, to premiere his newest photographs at the gallery.” I studied photography when I was a student and provided numerous services to galleries. Additionally, I have also had the opportunity to exhibit some of my art in galleries. In any relationship, I strongly believe it is important to be candid.  I have not revisited Rock Creek Park and the zoo since 2018. I have not returned back to Malcolm X Park since 2015.  Candid Connections emphasizes the theme of honesty and openness in relationships.

  Jazzed Affection. Digital art created on canvas. December 27, 2024. Afrika Abney  My playlist as it relates to music and love is instrumental jazz by way of Youtube. By listening to music using Youtube, I am able to pursue my desires and uphold my standards and values that I continue to envision in my hetrosexual single male over the age of 30 whom will propose to me because I am worthy of affection, time, attention and not concerned about my reputation, but rather how I am treated.  Jazzed Affection highlights the connection between jazz music and the emotions of love and affection.

My duty is to choose words and be mindful of others.

Selected expertise and skills: Authentic communication Conflict resolution Organizational culture transformation The slate for fulfilling missed genuineness are conveyed through my art, music, dance, and facial expressions. 

  Commitment in Genuineness. Digital art created on canvas. December 27, 2024. Afrika Abney  “Vote one for love” which is a television movie released in 2023 is about “when Candace, a up and coming political operative in DC, is sent home to small town Heartstone Wyoming to help win a mayoral race, she is shocked to discover her high school rival is the candidate in question... and possibly the one who can win the vacant seat in her heart!” My hometown is Washington, DC. I never visited Texas nor any part of California. I believe that this movie highlighted the importance of commitment, dedication, devotion, trust, respect, and fully listening to the choices and decisions revolving around the role played by Candace and Derek. Diving all in or not all.

  Love’s Foundation. Digital art created on canvas. December 27, 2024. Afrika Abney  Wondering how many times that I need to convey to single hetrosexual men about my attraction towards them? This question is connected to the trait determination. Determination to highlight the importance of genuine and meaningful connections that encompass passion, compassion, respect, commitment, loyalty, desires, genuine affection, appreciation and understanding. Coupled with the significance of harmony in work - life relationships which could mean different things. For instance, taking a moment to enjoy nature walks, waterfalls, and observing the animals. In each of these pleasures, I have remained determined on my path.  I do not believe in love at first sight. I believe that if it is genuine and sincere love from a partner of the opposite sex that is the foundation of love. Without that love remains unstable, unsupported and imbalanced just as the mountains of snow or the bricks buil...

  Moment of Chance. Digital art created on canvas. December 26, 2024. Afrika Abney  I watched briefly on television a chance encounter, a television movie released in 2022. I have an extensive music background. Reluctant to give me a chance because of the lies and your own experiences, well is like building walls and bricks. I have stated numerous times that no one is perfect. Acceptance and understanding plays a crucial role, as well as establishing ground rules. 

  Devotion Dynamics. Digital art created on canvas. December 26, 2024. Afrika Abney  With movies like Swing and Acquainted which highlights topics about cheating, lack of respect, trust and commitment in romantic and personal relationships. Long term relationships are about trust, respect, faith, devotion, and commitment. I do not believe in cheating in relationships. It is wrong and shows fear of commitment, trust and respect.  If you ask me to leave in any relationship, I will never return back and it will be hard for me to regain my trust and open up. Since I was a student from the late 1970s - 1997, holidays have always been difficult for me. Even after I completed my education as a student, the holidays still remained difficult. I am not looking at movies on television for inspiration. I am watching movies because many people refuse to seek my services even though in every professional encounter, I have shown respect, commitment and dedication towards my former clien...

  Rhythm of Love. Digital art created on canvas. December 24, 2024. Afrika Abney  The key traits that I believe are essential during a long term relationship. These include a deep sense of affection, which fosters emotional intimacy and strengthens the bond between partners. Additionally, awareness of each other's needs and feelings plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy dynamic. The ability to be bold in expressing thoughts and emotions, along with a strong connection that transcends superficial interactions, is equally important. Commitment to one another ensures that both individuals are dedicated to nurturing the relationship through its various phases. Creativity is another essential trait that can invigorate a long-term partnership and keep the relationship vibrant. Courage is necessary to face challenges and navigate conflicts that may arise, as it empowers individuals to confront issues rather than avoid them. Embracing each other's differences fosters a sense o...

  Quote found on the Internet It is Christmas Eve and I pray that those that celebrate Christmas prayers are answered. On this Christmas Eve, I would like my only prayer for a single hetrosexual male over the age of 30 to marry me. I believe that Christmas eve and Christmas are about genuine love, affection, showing compassion, demonstrating understanding, being trustworthy, loyal, faithful, having mutual respect and meaningful conversations without judgement, bias and prejudice. I do not want a hetrosexual husband that has no respect for himself and those that raised him to be a gentleman with standards, values, ethics, and self-expression.  I do not believe in the superficiality of Christmas eve and Christmas. I believe in the essence of gifts that come from the heart and treasured stories that have symbolism, inspiration and instill principles such as determination and purpose. Some of the movies that I watched in the past on Christmas Eve include Frosty Snowman and How the...

  “The 2022 movie Ask Me to Dance is about finding someone who sees life the same way you do, and not trying to change you. It features a mature approach to romantic comedy, with a gentle and unassuming encounter between the two main characters.  Here are some other things to know about the movie:  The movie stars Mario Cantone as Patrick, and Briana Evigan and Tom Malloy as the two main characters. The movie features great dancing throughout. The movie avoids juvenile gags, and instead focuses on the exaggerated eccentricities of the characters. The movie features a bipolar reality TV star who is working towards starring in a celebrity rehab show. The movie features a "psycho girl" who quickly becomes a wedding problem.” I was drawn to this movie for the title. The title fits the entirety of the movie. I was asked to dance for numerous people who operated companies and dance studios from the 1980s - 2016. I have not provided any dance services since 2016. 

  “The point of the movie Love by Chance is that love can find its way into the lives of people in unexpected ways:  Claire's story Claire is a pastry chef who is too busy running her restaurant to focus on relationships. Her mother sets out to find her the perfect man without telling her. When Claire discovers that it wasn't fate that brought them together, it could ruin their relationship.  Pete and Ae's story Pete is a shy and rich university student who is trying to hide that he is gay. Ae is a kind and friendly boy who helps Pete up after he is hit by Ae's bicycle. Ae develops feelings for Pete that go beyond friendship, but Pete doesn't want Ae to know the pain of being ridiculed for dating a man.  The overall message Love can find its way into the lives of people in unexpected ways, and that love is love.” I do not believe in relationships that involve matchmaking, manipulation and deception. As a straight African - American woman, I was introduced to many pe...

  “While some audiences may view the film as a clichéd boy-meets-girl romance, it is more about two people helping each other to be better versions of themselves rather than just a love story. The film poignantly shows love and compromise in a realistic way, making it worth seeing.” From 1992 - 1993, I visited New York City. During these years, I was a high school student. In 2014, I provided numerous services. 

  Committed Harmony. Digital art created on canvas. December 21, 2024. Afrika Abney  Every woman hopes to find their own match. As for me, the person that is well suited for me of the opposite sex is a single straight male over the age of 30. I do not believe in being stringed along, taking advantage of, and manipulated in a personal and long term committed relationship.  I believe in the importance of integrity, trust, love, hope, transparency, honesty and meaningful long lasting conversations.

I strive to analyze and critique dance-themed films to showcase their impact on culture and entertainment. I am a straight African - American woman with only interest in straight single men over the age of 30.

Among them include Shall We Dance, The Christmas Dance, Footloose (1984) and The Christmas Ball. Each movie captured the importance of eye contact, rhythm, understanding of dance and innovation.  Selected skills: Strong analytical and critical thinking skills for evaluating film techniques and themes Strong capability of sharing insights on dance movies
