Best Selling Author, Jackie Christie, Inspires Black Women In Film

NBA Wife Chosen to Host the 'Black Women In Film' Tribute at The Hollywood
Black Film Festival on June 6th

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.,June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Jackie Christie, multi-talented,
fashion designer and author is set to host the 'Black Women In Film' Tribute
at the 10th anniversary Hollywood Black Film Festival (HBFF) on Saturday, June
6, 2009 during the 'Black Women In Film' Tribute. Christie will be speaking
along the theme of inspiration and empowerment which parallels her latest
third novel "Proud To Be A Colored Girl." This event is scheduled for 5:30
P.M. at the Laemmle Music Hall #3 theatre, which is located at 9036 Wilshire
Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA 90211.

Christie was chosen by founder, Tanya Kersey, to host in addition to speaking
during this monumental event because of her philanthropic endeavors and
movement she entitles "Colored Girl" (CG). Through her CG franchise, Jackie
seeks to empower and inspire women around the world, as well as provide all
proceeds to aid impoverished families and single mothers everywhere.

"Colored Girl" is a movement born from Christie's desire to unite women from
all walks of life, nationalities and cultures. Jackie Christie aspires to
remove the stigma that comes with the term, "Colored Girl." The age-old
stereotyping of African American women has gone on practically unchallenged
for centuries. Christie is ready to change people's way of thinking and
feeling about the term. Her book, "Proud To Be A Colored Girl," is titled
based on her belief that all women no matter their nationality are beautiful.

"I am very honored to be taking part in the HBFF'S 10th anniversary festival
to support the women in film series. As well as, pay tribute to Tanya Kersey
for her dedication to the entertainment industry and the Hollywood Black Film
Festival, which recognizes filmmakers from all over the world," said Jackie
Christie.

Jacqueline Blaylock, head of programming for the Hollywood Black Film
Festival, has once again selected a dynamic slate of films helmed by African
American women with a distinct point of view. The Black Women in Film
Screening Program will feature the following short films: The Hands, directed
by Charise Studesville; I Love You, directed by Sabrina Moella; Birthday and
The Morning of, directed by Tracy Taylor; and Gideon Falls, which was directed
by notable Judith McCreary.
