Last night I attended the DC premiere for The Secret Life of Bees, a wonderful yet unusual story about how we live on after love is taken away from us. Set in a historic period, 1964, when Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, this film, written by Sue Monk Kidd and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood (whose Herve Leger dress last night was FLY), is a timely and necessary reminder of how far (far is relative) we've come.
A reception held afterward in the lobby of the Newseum (Haven't been? Check out my recap!) mixed the Hill with Hollywood. The stars of the movie

Good times...I want to write a book turned movie...one day y'all! :)
