POP NATION - RULERS OF THE NEW EARTH -A peace activation

Synopsis for POP NATION: Rulers of the New Earth – A Peace Activation

A chance phone call about an oil deal and the use of water hyacinth for diesel fuel turned into a divinely guided artistic collaboration. While on the call, Solo Beats, an artist recording an album with Bai Blyden, joined in, and something beyond music transpired. Feeling the purity in Solo’s voice, I knew this project was bigger than us—it was a calling. That moment led to the creation of Rulers of the New Earth, a song that carried the potential to shift consciousness. Initially intended for me to perform, it became clear that Solo’s voice was meant to bring this message to the world. We fused my rap with his verse and chorus, creating an energetic portal of peace—thus inspiring POP NATION: Portal of Peace.

Over the next year, our collaboration deepened. Though we first worked virtually, we eventually united in New York, where I witnessed Solo perform at the United Nations as a special guest for the President of Sierra Leone, his home country. The energy continued to build when Andrew Kaen joined as the executive producer. After the UN event, Andrew’s apartment transformed into a recording studio, where we spent two days capturing my rappette ™️ over the track, setting the foundation for something monumental.

Then came the vision. I saw this activation unfolding at the 20th Anniversary of the United Nations International Day of Peace with Paul Sladkus and Good News Broadcast. With my previous involvement in the event, I reached out, and the opportunity aligned effortlessly. Without needing extensive rehearsal, a collective of peace-driven artists came together to create a seamless, powerful performance that felt as if it had been rehearsed for months.

Through connections and synchronicities, the stage became filled with an eclectic mix of peacemakers, including legendary musician FANTUZZI—featured on the cover of TIME magazine during Woodstock—who has since traveled the world singing for peace. With bongos, African dance, spoken word, and music, our presence on that stage was not just a performance; it was an activation—an experience meant to shift the energy of those who witnessed it.

This film captures that activation—a rare, unrepeatable moment of divine orchestration where art, music, and movement combined to create a vibrational shift toward global peace. Through this short documentary/music video, we bring that energy to those who were not physically present, allowing audiences worldwide to feel the essence of POP NATION: Rulers of the New Earth. Our goal is to share this activation in festivals and theaters, spreading its transformative energy beyond that one unforgettable day.

What unfolded was more than a show; it was a message—a living, breathing testament to the power of trust, presence, and divine alignment. This is only the beginning..

Director Statement

As an actress/ dancer / recording artist turned director and producer, my journey in the entertainment industry has always been driven by a passion for storytelling that heals and unites. With POP NATION, I aim to transcend traditional filmmaking by creating an energetic peace activation—a fusion of art, music, dance, and sound healing, designed to inspire and uplift.

Embarking on the creation of POP NATION has been a deeply transformative journey, intertwining my lifelong passions for storytelling, healing, and community building. As an actress, director, producer, and integrative energy healer, I’ve always experienced the profound power of art to inspire change and foster unity. This film embodies that knowing, serving as both a documentary and an “energetic peace activation”—a fusion of art, music, dance, and sound healing , designed to uplift and connect.

Over the past two years, I’ve dedicated myself to capturing and editing hundreds of reels, encompassing not only dance but also commercials for sponsors, outings with friends, dates, and various other engaging moments from my daily life. This endeavor has not only refined my skills as a filmmaker but has also fostered a growing community on Instagram, where my following has increased exponentially in recent months. My experiences acting in television shows like Law & Order, making appearances on shows like The Tyra Banks Show, and collaborating with Grammy nominated-producer Father MC have provided me with a deep understanding of the industry’s dynamics. However, it is through founding the Lakshmi Foundation, under the umbrella of WE The World, that I’ve been able to actualize and merge my artistic pursuits with my dedication to wellness and social change.

The realization of POP NATION was not a solitary endeavor; it was the result of a magnetic convergence of high-energy healers, artists, and visionaries, each bringing their unique light and expertise to this collective tapestry. Their presence was not just beneficial—it was imperative for the activation to manifest in its fullest expression. The fusion of our energies created a unique and inspiring force, one that I could never have conjured alone. I am profoundly humbled by the purity and authenticity that each collaborator infused into this project. Their unwavering commitment and passion have been the heartbeat of POP NATION, and I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to co-create with such luminous beings.

POP NATION is more than a documentary; it is a movement that embodies the essence of healing - therefore wellness through entertainment. By documenting the live segment of the United Nations International Day of Peace GOOD NEWS BROADCAST Peace Party, which I ( and we all ) produced as an energetic peace activation, this film showcases the collaborative efforts of high-level healers—musicians, dancers, comedians, and artists—who utilize their talents to foster global harmony. As a certified yoga and meditation teacher, integrative energy healer, Reiki Master, and wellness counselor accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners, my mission has always been to bridge the gap between art and wellness. POP NATION serves as a testament to this mission, highlighting the profound impact of collective creativity in promoting peace and well-being.

Through this film, I invite audiences to experience the synergy of diverse artistic expressions converging to create a portal of peace. It is my hope that POP NATION will become activated, inspired and to recognize and embrace their abilities to contribute to a more harmonious world.
