In January, Travis Greene and Chrisette Michele performed at Donald Trump’s Inauguration.

While many haven’t heard from the Gospel singer, the Black community has definitely canceled and sent Chrisette Michele back to wherever she bought that skirt from.

In a recent interview, the Grammy nominated artist spoke about not having any regrets and doing what God called him to do.

He stated:

My motivation for doing what I feel internally God has called me to do is simply the scale at which I tried to live my life. What I mean by that is, I try to put things on a scale, public opinion versus eternal consequences. To me, on a scale of eternity, it makes way more sense to do what God has called me to do.

There is a scripture that’s very scary that says if you are ashamed of me here I’ll be ashamed of you there, so I try not to allow fear stand in the way of doing anything God has called me to do. Understanding that I want Him to know that I love Him and out of that love and out of His grace there is a boldness to share His message anywhere no matter what the consequence on earth may be, knowing that I have a promise waiting for me with Him in Heaven.

He continued:

No, absolutely not. I prayed very hard about the decision and that was it. Once God gave me the green light and told me to go it was very simple from that point on so no, I have no regrets. It’s something that I knew I was supposed to do and that I did and it was way more positive feedback than negative feedback. So many believers and so many people in the world of sports and entertainment and everywhere that I meet, all appreciate and have shown gratitude for our faith move and taking the gospel of Christ to the capital.

He also stated:

I prepare myself for the assignment over my life by prayer, meditation, reading the word of God and living a life based off of inspiration. I get asked a lot what inspires me and really it’s the world around me, God’s creation, it’s the miracles I’ve experienced in my life, it’s my beautiful family and friends and all of these things together inspire and inform me of how critical my assignment is into bringing the world into the love and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

What did taking Christ to the capital do for the country?

*sigh*

Back 2 the Basics Production Management Group is proud to announce the official teaser premiere for FFF: Full-Figured Flings, a bold and unapologetic new film celebrating full-figured women and challenging the norms of beauty in Hollywood. Clocking in at just 46 seconds, the teaser doesn’t waste a moment, delivering a powerful visual and emotional punch that sets the tone for a project rooted in body positivity, size inclusivity, and cultural truth.

Premiering ahead of the 20th anniversary of Phat Girlz (2006), FFF serves as both homage and evolution. The film expands the conversation around colorism, sizeism, and shapeism, spotlighting women who have often been cast aside, sidelined, or silenced.

“This teaser is more than a preview—it’s a declaration,” said Lillie Mae Jones, creator and producer. “FFF is our love letter to the women who’ve never been centered but have always been essential. We’re not just telling stories—we’re shifting the lens.”

FFF: Full-Figured Flings is currently in development as a non-union independent production, with plans to release in 2026. The film invites audiences and allies to follow, support, and amplify the message through community engagement, open casting calls, and creative collaborations—including the launch of a nationwide call for a “Big Girl Anthem” to serve as the film’s official theme song.

Accept the Challenge…

The buzz is building fast around the highly anticipated full-figured fashion experience FFF, and now there’s a challenge on the table that fans won’t want to miss.

After racking up 11,000 views in less than 10 days, the official teaser video for FFF on YouTube is quickly gaining momentum. And now, the film’s Director of Photography, Dominique Perry, has thrown down a bold offer:

“If we hit 20,000 views before Saturday, June 14th, I’ll drop an exclusive second teaser on Father’s Day.”

This is more than a film—it’s a movement. FFF is a high-fashion, high-impact visual celebration of full-figured women taking a stand for representation, inclusion, and power on and off the runway.
