Last week, the Black Women Film Network (BWFN) hosted its monthly event as a Master Class featuring film and TV producer Datari Turner and HLN anchor Melissa Knowles as moderator. Over 400 guests packed The Gathering Spot to learn from Turner’s 20+ years of experience, which includes creating the hit franchise “Growing Up Hip Hop” and producing over 100 hours of programming for networks such as WE tv, BET, TV One and Oxygen.
Among Turner’s words of wisdom was the advice to remain faithful despite the obstacles in navigating the film/tv industry. “Those who are successful are ultimately the individuals who persevered and just simply never gave up,” he said.

Dominate 2025, a youth empowerment program, organized by Gift Africa, with Mrs Slyvia Akwaboah as the Covernor, had great speakers and panelists who spoke on various issues that are relevant to shape and improve the youths of today.

Moses Bliss, the Guest Minister for the event, made a keynote address to all and sundry on the topic, “Dare for More”. His insightful presentation covered aspects that include, “how to dare for more, things to put in place if you want to do more and things to do differently this year in order to receive more.”

He shared stories of how he began as an upcoming Gospel artiste, but with persistency, consistency, availability, and his eagerness to learn and yearn for more, he is now recognized globally. In view of this, Moses bliss admonished all Gospel singers to always minister their own songs at events, regardless.

In order to dare for more, Moses gave out some pertinent points and facts to note. Firstly, one needs to know exactly who he or she wants to be and who he or she doesn’t want to be. There is no one more important than who you are becoming, therefore be focused on who you are becoming and what you are becoming. Focus brings resilience.

Moses further moved on to talk about the things to put in place if one wants to do more. He elaborates, “have an unquenchable desire for success, be really good or exceptional in the field you want to become, have a change in your daily routine, increase in wisdom, and then give yourself to training.

Finally, he made emphasis on some things to do differently this year in order to receive more. He states, “align with God, speak word into your future (align your steps), stay under the cloud of God, make a mark in all areas and lastly, spend time to read and invest in the word of God”.

A prayer was shared by Moses Bliss to climax his informative presentation.
