Actor/Author: CYNDA WILLIAMS

Posted on March 25, 2020March 28, 2020 by GO BANG MAG

Cynda began a professional life of acting and singing after relocating to New York from her native Chicago. Her debut film MO’ BETTER BLUES directed by Spike Lee, was a critical and commercial success. Blessed with a role that also required singing, her song HARLEM BLUES went #1 on the R&B charts. That film opened the door to her next performance in Carl Franklin’s ONE FALSE MOVE – the true icebreaker for Cynda’s career. This break out independent film appeared on many Best Film lists and Cynda was nominated for the coveted Spirit Award.

Cynda has since appeared in numerous films including: Stewart Wade’s TRU LOVED, John Nolte’s BEAUTIFUL LOSER, Salvador Litvak’s WHEN DO WE EAT, Billy Wirth’s MACARTHUR PARK, P.J. Castellante’s RELAX…IT’S JUST SEX, Darin Scott’s CAUGHT UP and Wesley Strick’s THE TIE THAT BINDS. She has also performed memorable quality television roles including: BET’s HIDDEN BLESSINGS, LIFETIME’S THE COURAGE TO LOVE, HBO’s DOROTHY DANDRIDGE, Oprah Winfrey’s ABC miniseries, THE WEDDING and PBS’ TALES OF THE CITY.

Cynda also sings and acts on stage. She most recently appeared in DREAM GIRLS, THE TALENTED TENTH, LANGSTON IS MY MAN, HOPE RUNS ETERNAL, TWILIGHT IN LOS ANGELES, 1992, MAKE EM’ LAUGH, MAKE EM’ LAUGH: A CHRISTMAS CABARET, and IMMEDIATE FAMILY.

Cynda and Thea Camara, doing business as “Acting Up with Thea and Cynda”, teach acting workshops and classes. Cynda continues creating content – writing screenplays, musicals, and books. She looks forward to bringing her creations to life with the commercial production of these works.

Her current project is Pink Pantie Confessions, a web series, book, blog, and more. Cynda continues to sing, and accept quality roles in film, television and theatre.

GO BANG! Magazine: How did you get involved with “A Sisterhood of Signatures?”

Cynda Williams: Okema Gunn and I met at a few events. On one particular event we started talking about the possibility of writing some screenplays together for youth audiences. We lost contact for a bit. When I next heard from Okema, she had an idea for A Sisterhood of Signatures. I thought her idea was an original and possibly beautiful idea for a short film.

GO BANG! Magazine: You not only act in the film, you also developed the script. In what ways have you recently become more involved, behind the scenes, in the film industry?

Cynda Williams: I believe once you’ve enjoyed some success in the entertainment business for long enough, it is imperative to reach back and help others on their journey. I’ve learned a lot over the years so I try to help those that are breaking in. Filmmaking can be a difficult process from development to release, but it can also be the most satisfying experience if done with people you respect. Mentorship is very important. If I can help someone else avoid my many mistakes, I will. I know you learn from mistakes, that is inevitable, but there are some you can avoid with the correct guidance.

GO BANG! Magazine: What about “A Sisterhood of Signatures” attracted you to want to be a part of it?

Cynda Williams: I really liked how A Sisterhood of Signatures gave young ladies a unique option for creativity. I also appreciated its dedication to education. Many people forget to appreciate the trials of our ancestors. Okema reminds another generation how far we’ve come.

GO BANG! Magazine: How would you describe your character in the film?

Cynda Williams: The character of “Mom” set up the drama and started the educational portion of the story.

GO BANG! Magazine: How important is it to you, to preserve the art of cursive writing?

Cynda Williams: Cursive writing is a part of our genetic heritage. It is an art form unto itself.

GO BANG! Magazine: You are a singer, actress, author and producer. Of those talents, which one do you love the best, and why?

Cynda Williams: I don’t love any of my gifts any more than the other. They are all blessings given to me to use when directed. They all bring me joy.

GO BANG! Magazine: One of your most memorable characters was when you first debuted in film, in Spike Lee’s blockbuster movie “Mo’ Better Blues.” You worked alongside two top-notch actors, Denzel Washington and Wesley Snipes. As a fresh new film actor, how did that feel at the time, and what did you learn from that experience?

Cynda Williams: Mo’ Better Blues opened many doors for me in the film world. Spike, Denzel, and Wesley were coming into their own at the time, and willing to teach a newbie like me, the ropes. It was a great time to learn from some very gifted people. I got to absorb the talents of Robin Harris, Giancarlo Esposito, Bill Nunn, John and Nikky Tuttoro, Samuel L. Jackson, Joie Lee, and many others. I was blessed to work with Monty Ross, Ruthie Carter, Ernest Dickerson, Cliff Booker, Terrence Blanchard, Branford Marsalis, and the list goes on and on. Many of these artists are still “bringing it” today. To think that I was blessed like that, in my very first movie will always fill me up with thankfulness.

GO BANG! Magazine: As an actor, what type of roles are you currently interested in?

Cynda Williams: I am open to most roles as long as they are realistic, multi-layered, and saying something.

GO BANG! Magazine: Imagine this…if you had the opportunity to write your own movie or tv show, what would it be titled? Who would you choose to direct it? What actors would star in it?

Cynda Williams: I already have a movie written that I want to produce. It’s working title is Baby Girl. I have a long lost friend, Victoria Mahoney, that I would love to direct the film. She is an amazingingly talented, beautiful soul and I am so proud of her success. All I can say about casting is that I’d want the best actors (in temperament and talent) to be in this family dramedy/action adventure

GO BANG! Magazine: Being a Chicagoland resident, you have worked with and/or know of a lot of Chicago area screenwriters. Why is it important to you to work with local writers?

Cynda Williams: I think it is important to support, encourage, and work with local talent. Chicago is a hub of brilliant creative artists. I’m proud to be a part of their creative endeavors.

Author Mark Heath Howard: “PAPI & THE KING”

Posted on March 20, 2020March 22, 2020 by GO BANG MAG

Things get really interesting when a protective Chihuahua and a friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel meet a new addition to the family.

Available on AMAZON:

https://www.amazon.com/Papi-King-Baby-Heath-Howard/dp/1691506850/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=pAPI+%26+THE+KING&qid=1584677134&sr=8-1

Mark Heath Howard is a director and writer, known for Winter Smoke (2020), Zachariah Tucker (2015) and No Chaser (2010).

GO BANG! Magazine: When did you know that you wanted to be an author?

MARK HEATH HOWARD: I knew I wanted to be an author around 1994 or so when I started writing stories as a compliment to the drawings I created and also as a response to my imagination and desire–for creative arts–that seemed to keep me up at night. I also owe my decision to become an author, to my best friend, who–at the time–would read my stories and say, “Mark you can really write.” His encouragement simply fueled me to continue to find my voice. Another reason I wanted to be an author was because of the impact my stories had on people who would read them. I remember a college classmate read a short story I wrote about a daughter who was very closer to her father. The classmate–immediately after reading the story–emotionally commented how the story reminded her of her relationship with her father. From then on, I’ve wanted to bless the land through words and pictures.

GO BANG! Magazine: How did you know you were ready to write a book?

MARK HEATH HOWARD: I knew I was ready to write a book when the story became more and more real to me. I would often think about it and I would “say it [the story]” out loud because it would constantly speak to me. When I could hear and see it clearly, that’s when I knew I was ready to write.

GO BANG! Magazine: What inspired you to write Papi & the King?

MARK HEATH HOWARD: I had a Chihuahua and (my wife at the time owned) a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel when my first daughter was born. The combination of two dogs–one loud & old and the other quiet & young–in the house of a new born baby, created moments that I would often write and laugh about. Because of the birth of my first child, I really felt inspired to “give birth” to my dream of being an artist (i.e., writer, illustrator, filmmaker, actor) FULL TIME.

GO BANG! Magazine: What message are you trying to get across with the book?

MARK HEATH HOWARD: The main message I am conveying in my book is simply “family”. At the time, I operated as a husband, father, pet lover/owner, and it was ALL family to me. The idea of being together with the beginning of life (my daughter and marriage) and the aging and eventual end of life (my dog, Papi), created a solid foundation for all of my other stories that would follow.

GO BANG! Magazine: Have you written any other books? If so, what are their titles?

MARK HEATH HOWARD: Papi and the King is my first and only book. It is actually the first in a series of 12 chapters that chronicle the adventures of the two lovable dogs. The next chapter will be entitled “At the Park”, and it will focus on the fun mishaps that ensue when a butterfly interrupts doggy-walking time. I also write screenplays.

GO BANG! Magazine: Do you have any other talents besides writing books?

MARK HEATH HOWARD: My other talents include acting, screenwriting, and filmmaking.

GO BANG! Magazine: What advice would you give to a writer that may be interested in writing their first book?

MARK HEATH HOWARD: The advice that I would give to a writer that may be interested in writing their first book is–GO FOR IT AND MAKE IT HAPPEN! I published my first book for free with amazon.com (KDP – Kindle Direct Publishing) and I am glad I did it. It was an act of faith and belief in my work that I will have with me forever. And I share that accomplishment with my daughters, my family, my friends, and the world.

GO BANG! Magazine: In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has caught the world off-guard. How are you dealing with it?

MARK HEATH HOWARD: In my book, Papi & the King, the mommy and daddy characters pray over their new baby. They touch hands and agree that the baby grows up to be healthy, wealthy and wise. This is the initial approach I take in dealing with COVID-19. The practical approach I take is to make sure I wash my hands and take care of how I interact in public and social gatherings. Thankfully, my children and extended family take a very similar approach. As far as work goes, I conduct that from my personal mobile office that allows me to continue to be productive without being able to go to work…at this time.

Author Cecelia Robinson: “MEMOIRS OF A COLD BLOODED BITCH!”

Posted on March 20, 2020April 1, 2020 by GO BANG MAG

EToni was blessed being one of the most beautiful women that most men had ever laid eyes on, but her beauty was the smoke screen for the camera and what actually went on inside her pretty little twisted mind. Aggressively manipulative, Toni used her sex and gift of gab as a weapon turning friends into foes, brothers into enemies and predators into prey.Breaking up Homes, destroying dreams and shattering lives, Toni could care less whom fell victim inside her tangled web of deceit. Nothing or no one was off limits when it came to her getting what she wanted.… And what she wanted was the only thing that mattered. Eventually her ways would catch up with her and she would end up in a place that “no bitch with good pussy wanted to be”… In this world all by her damn self.

Author Cynda Williams: “PINK PANTIE CONFESSIONS”

Posted on March 20, 2020March 29, 2020 by GO BANG MAG

Pink Pantie Confessions is an intimate anthology from the creative mind of actor/singer Cynda Williams detailing the struggles, insights, and triumphs of her life and career including perspectives from her inner circle of friends. This inspiring account of Hollywood, life, and love includes the reader as a confidant and friend to encourage, uplift, and commiserate by sharing life lessons as a journey and road map to a better version of self.

Available on AMAZON:

GO BANG! Magazine: Everyone knows you as an actor and singer. When did you know that you wanted to be an author?

Cynda Williams: I have been reading books for as long as I’ve been able. I’ve always known that I wanted to write fiction and non-fiction books. Books were my best friends growing up. I wanted to create worlds with words for others. The acting, singing, mothering, etc. has taken up much of my life. Now that I’m older and less busy I can write.

GO BANG! Magazine: How did you know you were ready to write a book?

Cynda Williams: I decided to take a hiatus from my career in 2009 to be a stay at home mom. My family moved back to IL so my daughter, Sophia, could grow up around her extended family. I was fortunate that Sophia’s dad was working to support us all at that time, so I was able to sit down (while Sophia was in school and after she went to bed) and write. I had been writing in journals since childhood so I had a lot of material to pull from for a blog. That blog was the rehearsal for the book that would come.

GO BANG! Magazine: What inspired you to write Pink Pantie Confessions?

Cynda Williams: Pink Pantie Confessions was an idea that had been percolating for a long while. For years friends and family encouraged me to share my stories. I have had a very full life and they believed my story might inspire. I came up with an idea for a brand on my 40th birthday. I first wrote the screenplay loosely based on my life. I am still working to produce this film. The memoir/blog was the next step, and finally the book.

GO BANG! Magazine: What prompted you to title the book Pink Pantie Confessions?

Cynda Williams: The title Pink Pantie Confessions came from my 40th birthday celebration. My closest friends and I enjoyed appetizers and Pink Panties (pink lemonade and vodka) on a friend’s yacht while we discussed very deep and personal stories. We naturally were circled up while we shared, and after about an hour of “confessions” we broke our conversation with silence. I remember saying, “Pink Pantie Confessions!” My girl said, “That’s a movie and a book!” I was determined to do it and have been working on it ever since.

GO BANG! Magazine: What message are you trying to get across with this book?

Cynda Williams: My primary message in Pink Pantie Confessions the Book is that we experience many challenges and joyful times in our lives and it is important that we share those experiences with anyone, even if that someone is a journal. When we vent, we heal.

GO BANG! Magazine: Have you written any other books? If so, what are their titles?

Cynda Williams: I have not published any more books, though I have written quite a bit. More is in the works.

GO BANG! Magazine: In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has caught the world off-guard. How are you dealing with it?

Cynda Williams: While experiencing the challenges of COVID-19, I am staying positive by remaining creative, keeping physical, and in meditation and prayer. Our world had gone through many times of darkness and survived. There are always lessons in changes of paradigm. The question is do you succumb to the darkness or do you continue to thrive and be grateful for your continued blessings? I choose the latter.
