This past weekend, Uncle Snoop
hosted a private screening starring Denzel Washington(Fences,
Training Day, Malcom X) in his latest film Roman J. Israel, Esq. at the
Rooftop Cinema club above the Montalban in Hollywood, California.
The turnout
was phenomenal. Drinks were flowing, popcorn was popping’ and a number of
familiar faces were in attendance including Karen Civil, Affion Crockett, and
Fonzworth Bentley. The Cashmere Agency was the PR Force behind the event,
providing an outdoor movie experience full of warmth and comfort.

Complimentary
popcorn, candy, and drinks fitted the event just right as we found out about Roman
J. Israel, an attorney of the Los Angeles criminal court system who takes a
stand for the common man unlike many of his prestigious colleagues. Israel’s
life takes a turn when his mentor of many years passes away.
A former student
of his mentor, George Pierce played by Colin Farrell (The Killing of Sacred Deer, The Beguiled, and winter’s Tale)
employs Israel at his law firm and it doesn’t take long until the two attorneys
collide. Roman J. Israel makes a decision to give the name of a murderer at
large in exchange for a reward of one hundred thousand dollars.
The film was geared to be a drama
until a love interest played by Carmen Ejogo (It Comes at Night) falls for the strange Roman Israel. The
storyline of the film is somewhat everywhere but the performance of Denzel
Washington wasn’t as disappointing. Washington’s performance reminds his
audience of the importance of treating another human being the same as you
would like to be treated.
Roman
J. Israel directed by Dan Gilroy was released in select theatres on November 17
and will be nationwide this Thanksgiving November 23, 2017.

The “Stay Winning Connection” was
held in Los Angeles this past weekend at Dream Magic Studios. This special
event was hosted by EurWeb’s own multi-talented Robin Ayers who wears many
different hats. Robin is an entrepreneur, author, host, public speaker, and
mother of two beautiful twin girls. A woman with as many titles as Ms. Ayers is
surrounded by supportive family and friends who filled up the Dream Magic
Studios. A special guest panel Q&A featuring Laila Ali (American Gladiators, Home Made Simple), Jennifer Freeman (My Wife and Kids, You
Got Served), Vanessa Simmons
(Project Runway: Threads, Run’s House), Quincy
Newell (Producer: Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain; Laugh at My Pain), Dustin Felder (Entrepreneur, Acting
Coach), and Robin Ayers as moderator came together to answer the question “How
to Stay Winning?”
(Jimmy V & Laila Ali)
“Fear
is the devil. Love is God” is what Dustin Felder shared as he began to explain
how he succeeds in his career. Felder began his career in front of the camera,
but now understands his calling is for work behind the scenes. Felder has
active businesses in LA, NY, and now Atlanta. The idea of fear holds us back
from even attempting to pursue something. Vanessa Simmons shared F.E.A.R for
her is only an acronym that stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. I was
able to summon up Ms. Simmons answer on how to stay winning by these three
principles: 1. Strong vision 2.Focus 3. Discipline.
(Jimmy V & Jennifer Freeman)
Jennifer
Freeman a long time friend of Robin Ayers shared a little about her own
personal life. “We attract what we are” is how Freeman began to explain how she
stays winning. Being able to understand our actions and why we do what we do is
a major key to win. Freeman was able to create a balance between her personal
life and career which now helps her pursue more goals. Quincy Newell talked
about leaving a legacy for his family. “Everything we do, should be investing
in ourselves and our families”. Another key to stay winning.
(Jimmy V & Host of the night Robin Ayers)
Lastly,
Laila Ali referred back to having a balance and that playing a major role in
her success. “Success is a balance of being happily fulfilled spiritually,
emotionally, mentally and staying healthy.” Laila Ali is an individual that
doesn’t get enough credit for her consistent work ethic because of her name.
Much like Vanessa Simmons who can relate to being air to the Simmons thrown.
Children of successful parents in the entertainment industry have a stigma put
on them that they don’t have to work for success because its’ already in their
family.
Someone like Laila Ali, who opened up her first business doing nails at
the age of 18 with her own money wins in life because she expects to win. She
has a strong mentality that many of us can learn from. Laila’s opponents in the
boxing ring or life never mattered to her. Once she mentally decided she was
going to put in the hard work that it takes to be successful then the winning
will follow. Believe it and you can achieve it!

Following the Q&A a Cocktail & Conversation was held
in the foyer of the studio as guests were able to speak and connect with each
special guest. The Stay Winning Connection was a huge success!
