What It's Like To Go To A Movie Premiere
Amanda West Facebook

Hey guys. Long time no chat. So I attended the "Queen of Katwe" movie premiere in the very front (!!!) row! It was at AMC Century City and my Uber ride there was lit thanks to the fact the driver had an aux! Slaying with that Drake and Lil Uzi Vert this week, fam. I got to meet the cast, including the fabulous LUPITA NYONG'O, DAVID OYELOWO, MADINA NALWANGA, and more, and even got to interact with Fiona, the Ugandan girl who the movie is based off of—she is a real star! The stars were so humble, and played the village people of Katwe amazingly well. One panelist commented how Nyong'o both struts the red carpet and seamlessly fits in as a maize-selling single mother in the Ugandan village! How cool that she can fit into both atmospheres so effortlessly?! Also... I got to sit in the director's chair and walk the red carpet.... An extraordinary day in the life! :)

Most relevant advice you'll ever receive: attend the best school ever, USC, in order to have access to super cool events and experiences like this! I love how I am in the #1 BCA (Business Cinematic Arts) program in the country and how we are in the center of all the action and fun of Los Angeles... No place I'd rather be! Not surprisingly, these sorts of premieres, red carpet, award shows, and celebrity events are super easy for LA students to access! It's all about keeping on the lookout for them!

So blessed to have had the opportunity to see the film first and ask questions about the production and cast (the Q&A sesh was actually live-streamed across the country, so it was pretty surreal!). I definitely recommend watching this eye-opening true story of a girl who knew what she wanted, doggedly pursued her dreams, and stands today as a champion of female intelligence and feminism... Hard to believe that this is a Walt Disney Studios movie—just because of the difficult topics of poverty, rejection, sexism, and racism that the movie covers so well! I think it's great that Queen is PG, because now individuals can learn about these life themes earlier on, in turn making society more aware of other cultures and lifestyles! Also I'm obsessed with the fact that the director, Mira Nair, is a WOMAN who CELEBRATES THE FEMALE PRESENCE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY!!! I'd love to collab with her in the near future! ;)

For those of you who have been asking about my outfit: I make my style affordable AF! Silk top and gold hoops from H&M on Fig, jeans from Forever 21, heels from Steve Madden, and choker from Dolls Kill! It's easy to find good deals on great looks, especially in LA, when you look hard for them!

My advice to everyone and anyone who wants to be a part of the industry is attend as many of these types of events as possible and network, network, network at them! Below is my photographic documentation of my ridiculously blessed experience with these stars! XO ARW

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
