A little daily inspiration. Did you know Keke Palmer auditioned several times for the role of Akeelah in the movie “Akeelah and the Bee”

“When I auditioned for Akeelah, in the first audition I was a little bit afraid because I saw girls in there that I had seen on tv before. I was like ‘man, I might as well just walk out of here now because I’m just a newcomer.’ But when I went into the room, I kind of just had to let all of that go and I went in and I was myself. I did the lines the best that I could and I kept getting callbacks and callbacks. And I as I kept getting closer I think that’s, you know like Akeelah, as she started to get further in the Spelling Bee, she started to realize, ‘well hey, maybe I am good enough if I’m getting this far. And that’s what I thought, ‘well hey, I’m good if I’m getting this far.”

So never doubt yourself. You never know where a little faith will take you.

Remember the popular Breeding clan who dropped tracks All I Do and U Got Me, back in the early 2000’s? Well the not so little Breeding kids are back at making music. They recently dropped their single Say Yes and now there’s a visual. Their fan base is all grown up and it’s safe to say these young men have grown up too. They’ve toured with acts ranging from Kanye to Usher back in the day. Say Yes features harmonious melodies on a cute love song where the boys beg a women to say yes. I’m quite sure they have no problem in the women department. It’ll be interesting to see what else B5 will drop now that they’re making music again. Do you remember them? What do you think of this new track?
