Up Close and Personal – 11062025

The world of acting is a fascinating one. It’s such a powerful tool for engaging and shaping viewers’ mindsets. Some movies shift something deep within you and leave you a changed person.

One such film is Tyler Perry’s latest movie, Straw. I watched it on Netflix during the Salah holiday, and I experienced a wide range of emotions throughout.

Janiyah Wiltkinson (played by Taraji Benson) completely embodied her role, delivering a performance so raw and real that only the strong-hearted could resist shedding a tear or two.

Then there’s Detective Kay Raymond (played by Teyana Taylor), who absolutely won my heart. She showed that even in the line of duty, humanity must come first. And that brings me to the heart of this message: never hide behind position, title, or authority to justify inhumanity.

There is no excuse for being inhuman. If you act inhumanely, it’s not because of your role, your situation, or your condition, it’s a reflection of who you are.

So, as you go about your day, and for the rest of your days, be mindful of how you treat others. Your words, actions, or even your silence could be the last straw that shapes someone’s life, for better or for worse.

Cheers, and enjoy the rest of your day and week!
