Genesis co-produces Fusion Film Festival event sponsored by Women Make Movies
New York University, Tisch School of Arts, Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film & Television’s 7th Annual Fusion Film Festival, A Celebration of Women Filmmakers presented the hip-hop documentary SAY MY NAME directed by Nirit Peled on October 30th.
In a hip hop and R’n’B world dominated by men and noted for misogyny, the unstoppable female lyricists of SAY MY NAME speak candidly about class, race, and gender in pursuing their passions as female emcees.
It was an amazing film, tasteful, refreshing and empowering!

Danny Hastings retouches Genesis Be photo
There were a load of photos that Danny Hastings shot of Genesis for her cover album and it was soo hard to narrow them down because they all looked so dope! Alas, I narrowed them down to 16 photos of which Genesis picked her top 5. Here’s one that Danny retouched. What do you think?!
