  Independent Film Project:

QueenAfi takes pride in gathering genuine, raw, and uncut stories for this specific project. The fruitful collaboration was much needed to help get the survivor stories a border platform. Independent film company DK Productions and founder Dewey Ortiz Jr. promptly published inspirational stories accurately and displayed the multitude of key elements and emotional traumas that inevitably accompany domestic violence.

QueenAfi Famous Quotes:

“I condone your eternal happiness because it’s a sign of emotional intelligence; without it, one deteriorates.”

“Unresolved childhood trauma and experiences can remain the masters of ceremonies over your future.”

“Ten acts of generous kindness a day is the real hustle; kindness builds empires and secures futures.”

“Body language is the compass to your longevity.”

“Discover your ardent passion and justly earn a get-out-of-jail-free card.”
