Hey! I'm Sha-Risse Smith, the writer of Strive. I cannot begin to tell you how much your comments fill my heart. I am so glad and encouraged that you all enjoyed our film. Keep striving!❤
❤❤❤❤
Keep them coming you are def doing great things!!
Loved the part where she said you're the mother. I'm 67 YO white male. Brought tears to my eyes. A fine work
my story, thank you. 69 now 😢
Keeping it real…. Great story … don’t stop … keep them coming….
I literally just was saying yesterday: Either “the mother works entirely too much and the child(ren) yearn for that absent parent and it shows in their behavior or a mother be a stay at home mom, and be present for her child(ren) but society bashes her!” Like damn, being a single mother is beyond hard. But I can’t stand when they put so much responsibility on their children, not leaving room for them to actually be a child. Then putting so much adult responsibilities on a child then yell “oh you think you grown” does a lot! To a young girl’s mental! When all they want is to be a kid! In this cruel world! This was a very great movie! Great job! 👏🏾
You nailed it but don’t forget some people have been raised into co dependency and it is each one of our responsibilities to unlearn co dependency and no one can change it until they learn the definition and truly make the changes we hurt other by being codependent
Beautiful movie of not giving up no matter what Because our destiny is in God not what man think.❤❤❤
Great story!
Main character never lowered her self esteem & sophistication.
(No profanity! No seductive dress)
She demanded respect from the 1st boyfriend.
I love how she put her mom 'in check" after getting her acceptance letter..
"I'm not the mom!"
"Let me be a kid!""
This movie was really really good!!! it deserves an oscar!!!! am so happy that She got to Yale even though she didn't have her biological father,her counselor was her true father .
And the classroom scene on the experience as the only black girl was on point!!
Love this movie so heart touching seeing her overcome the death of her own brother while grieving for him and still continuing to go on to college. 🙌❤️
This movie will make you wish you could do it all over and do it right it will make you humble and make you look at life so diffrent with a full heart and realise how precious life and the way we spend our time truly is
Who's ready to STRIVE here?
I am past surviving...I am striving 🥰
This movie sure did touch my heart.I was so proud of her.
I am in the UK and watching this film. What an excellent film. Well done to all those involved👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I thoroughly enjoyed it. Please always remember you are more than your circumstances. Peace.
So proud of “ joistarr” She was amazing in this movie. Congratulations to you! You played your role extraordinarily!!!
This movie brought me to tears seeing a young lady struggle makes me think about the pressure I put on my own kids but now I look back and wonder how different their lives would have been. The brother reminds me of my oldest son always handling siblings life problems, her brother would have still been alive. Girls, needs their mother's love & to be a young helper taking on more then enough but coming out of top says a lot and this movie title is all that & more. I hope the younger one learn from all what happened and made a strive to do better.
I am so very very proud of you Sha-Risse Smith for the depth and beauty of this story, which is more close to mine than you could ever know. 5 stars indeed!
Everyone on the planet needs to see Strive!
And keep striving!!!
WOW!!! Came across this movie......BROVO!!!!! I am 60, my emotions have run the gamut with this movie.
I don't remember the last time I watched a really good movie,, this is a good movie😊
This movie speaks to me, reflects me, encourages me on so many levels. It's like you were spying on me... and so many strivers like us. I never even took the time to think about it. No time to...just get done what needs to be done. Thank you for reminding me that I am that girl (even when I don't think or feel so)...This one was true, and honest, and I won't soon forget it. Thank you sis for writing this. We needed a good one, and you delivered! More please!!!
This is the best movie for me
I wish that I had a better guidance counselor in high school. I got directed to an art school. My Math grades were so so. I liked Math and ComputerScience, and Physics but I had too many distractions at home. I only followed my dreams to a certain point. My best bet was to leave the area where I live now. This place didn't always have good transportation. The job service used to try to send me to hotel jobs to make up beds. I used to rip up the papers. Heck I make up my own bed. I couldn't sit in high school, then studied hard just to grow up to be a hotel maid and housekeeper.
This is real in so many families regardless of economic levels. Children can’t be kids and adults want to steal your dreams!
Mom let me be a kid. You're the mother, am going to Yale, so there. Powerful movie. I enjoyed it, a little sad, but her dream school, it's true she's on her way, amen ⭐⭐⭐⭐🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This was soooo awesome. I'm from a family of twelve, and it was tough, and when, sometimes we didn't have have no utilities on in the winter or summer time. But we made it with God's help.
How are you doing
@roselynholloway7863 I'm great, and you?
@@sammypatton5377 I’m trying how is your career going
@@roselynholloway7863 Great, and you're
@@sammypatton5377 not in one yet how did you rise up from your circumstances
Very impressed. Great storyline and you picked the right girl for the lead role. "BRAVO"!!
Kalani" I am not a mom, but you are. I am a kid, let me be. "❤
❤
Both of y'alls avatars are the same color....Sus.
Very powerful inspiring movie
This is the reason why if you are a smart young lady you don't keep bad and envious friend like this.its a movie but believe me 80% of young people are like this
Once you believe and trust your plan don't let people discourage you.. I love the movie
This is one of the best African American movies I have watched in awhile!!! Thanks sooo much for sharing!! I totally cried at the end...wonderful film.
Good to see Danny Glover again. He's a legend!
I loved this movie, but it was sad and inspiring at the same time.
Heartwarming story. Had me crying, grieving and cheering.
Wonderful to see a movie that depicts success as something that is earned through hardwork, dedication and perseverance. Nobody makes it to the top through victimhood and entitlement. True success is the fruit that grows from blood, sweat, and tears. Truly an inspiring movie! 👍👍
This movie really has a great connection with the story of my life. So educative, informative and inspiring ❤
So inspirational and was worth my time ❤much love from Uganda 🇺🇬
A beautiful movie. Bring tears of joy to my eyes. So happy for the character Kehlani. And I love the father figure role of Danny G!over. Great experienced actor.
I love the movie. It was well put. We still have mothers like that today they think that the eldest should help pay the even when they don't have a job. The middle child should take care of the younger ones. Thank you for this great movie
This is one Heck of a story. Excellent script and the writing is perfect. All Black families need to see it and listen!?!, A Play next. Hit Broadway and you're on your way. You,nailed it. Brova!!!
Great story. I always love any movie Danny Glover is in. The girl "Kalani" was awesome. Her mother was very selfish and tried to pull her back from her dreams. She had to overcome a lot of adversity but hard work does pay off..she didnt choose to play the victim card like many people do who come from low income areas. It was quite refreshing to hear the proper use of the English language being used to. Thats not normal in a Harlem based movie.
very inspirational made me cry
Sha-Risse Smith you did a excellent writing the movie Strive, It real life so people can make it even with difficult times, sometimes the children have to grow up and take responsible of an adult and still try to function with everyday life as a children.
What an amazing story....Just wow!!!!❤
What a wonderful movie. With a great ending. She will definitely be successful in life.🥰💖❣💕💜
WONDERFUL STORY ! THANKS FOR BRINGING VALUE INTO THE LIVES OF STUDENTS WHO STRIVE INSPITE OF IT ALL.
This is five stars 🌟❤
Can't remember the last time I cried, laughed and picked myself up...all at the same time. Truly, there is a difference between a father and a dad.
I will strive to reach out to my family positively... going forward. They deserve to know that I love them. I am proud of them . Thanks for an excellent movie.
You'll need TWO tissue boxes for this one ❤
Wow! speechless, awesome movie 👍👍👍
Such an inspiring story. I lost my mom to cancer in May 2023. This movie hit some emotional cords but uplifting at the same time. Danny Glover as the counselor was amazing. No...mental health breaks and counseling is not just for white people. Kelani striving and following her dream to attend Harvard was how she honored herself and her brother. Such a well done movie. Thank you so much for sharing.
Wow, My Condolences 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I Lost My Father to Cancer Also
We buried him January 7, 2023
The day after his 82th Birthday
My Jehovah God Heal Your Pain
I'm about to watch the movie
@wynettebrown5286 I am so sorry for your loss. Yes I do highly recommend the movie. I hope you enjoy.
@@shyninstar83 Thank U Sister
Just Pray To God In The Mighty Name Of Jesus Christ

He's Helped Me And Saved ME From So Much Pain and Worrying
Jehovah God And Jesus Christ Love You SO Much.
He Helped Me, I Know He Will Help you
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
Kelani strived to reach her dream to attend "Yale", just like her father.
Beautiful storyline. Very well done. Thank you.
May God continue to bless you to keep striving.

This movie is so inspiring I loved it up and down just like real life and sometimes you are a product of your environment and still can make it out this is the best movie in the urban collections I have seen with a great ending which made me love even more please keep going my brother or sister we need movies like this
Very good movie. Life has its challenges, but it's up to you how you choose to handle them in the end. I'm glad they let her make the choice to go to college in live her life. Her mother needs to be a better mom. Her sister needs to grow up, mature, and make better decisions..Sad about her brother.
Beautifully done! This was time well-spent. Please keep the great content flowing and thank you for sharing.
I am glad her mother came to her senses in the end, because wouldn't have been a good look.
Yea
Agreed!
Thank You Jesus for WORKIN IT OUT FOR US
What a Great film! I plan to watch again next time with my 15yo granddaughter; lots of life's lessons depicted.
Hmmm! STRIVE!!! Giving up is not an option! very thought provoking movie, I shed a tear a few times watching this, K is a really strong young lady. Hmmm life life life!!!the mother was so insensitive initially, I'm surprised that she wanted K to b responsible for d kids her siblings instead of going to yale, c'mon she's d mom, damn there wear so many parts of d movie that almost got me crazy. But in d end, it ended so well, I'm glad she got into her dream school!
Hmm, in this life, we just have to b strong, persevere and stay focused, to reach that goal... Great movie, I highly recommend it!
This is very standard in lower income neighborhoods in America. Parents are overworked and underpaid, which makes them very cranky... And codependent on the older children to help raise the family. It's a systematic form of oppression which ensures they stay in shackles for as long as possible to recreate the same cycle of early parenthood, and therefore poverty by default for most.
@@sincerelyeugene6638 hmmm I completely agree with u, n it's so sad. I only hope n pray that most of these kids, can break themselves free from those shackles n go after their dreams.
Worse or sad part is, with many of these kids, Livin with such parents, they can't even dare to have big dreams, it's a circle indeed.
I truly loved this rightly titled movie, and the acting by the young people were very believable!!!😊❤
Such an awesome movie. Glad the mom came around in the end and then the Danny Glover character was so important.
Loved the movie! Loved the music too!
I wonder if that's the Main Character singing at the end... Such an intense movie. Loved it to the fullest. Amazing Music throughout the entire movie
So touching, an inspirational movie it is
Really great watch, thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
I've only previewed the first few minutes and I already love the vibrant colors and quick dialogue. I can tell this movie is going to keep my interest and attention. I'll be back with an update!
This is such an inspirational story recommended for young people and especially the youths.
This movie brought tears to my eyes 😢
Hello my dear Sha Risse Smith
Allow me the familiarity if u will. Congratulations 🎉 This is a wonderful and inspirational teaching “tool”. I look forward to part 2 and
many more to follow. God Bless.
From Barbados ( 🇧🇧) with appreciation.
Hmmmm this movie just got emotional😢😢
Even after watching the movie I'm still in the same cage of my parents and siblings putting all the activities of the family on my shoulder like if the real parent..
I know I might have the potential but I can't grow if my mental health is not in good condition..🥺🥺
Excellent movie!!! Thank you!❤
What a beautiful story very touching need to watch more like this. Thanks for writing this movie keep the good work up.❤❤❤❤❤❤
THIS IS MY SECOND TIME WATCHING THIS. IT WONDERFUL!! I KNOW IT WILL NOT BE MY LAST. WILL SHARE AGAIN AND AGAIN. ❤LUV YOU STRIVE.
Wonderful movie🎈😍
Thanks For A Good Sunday Movie of ENCOURAGEMENT TRUSTIN I KEEP IT MOVIN U STAY BLESSED ✌️❤️
Great movie, very good writing of a story
This movie was beyond amazing! I cried, laughed, and was hoping for more! What an inspirational film! It gives you hope, and to never stop dreaming.
Beautiful inspiring story all my compliments, the actress of Kalani showing so much compassion, a true tressor. ❤ Thank you
Loved it!!!!!!
I love this movie because it was very dimensional, in that the young woman of color was driven even though her farther was absent, and the fact that she followed in his foot steps to strive to get a higher education and despite racism and injustice and ignorance of the many people around her she still rose above with love, integrity and hard work. Her brother and the other young man lived by the sword and unjustly gained their money that of which only put their communities in great peril. The family also didn’t have a support system from the extended family which is all to real for me. I hope that people who see this movie will work harder on their own individual lives to be a blessing and not a curse to themselves and communities and that takes God teaching you about His love for you individually which will grow from inside out and has nothing to do with book smarts either. Great movie, I hope to see more please!
Awesome movie as it showed the adversity that she overcame but also showed the despair and hopelessness that others faced. Her brother and the man that was seeing her sister are good examples of choices made but it also points out the hurdles people in those communities have to avoid, no planes or ships to bring drugs into their communities but some how it finds its way coming from foreign lands that most in those communities will never set foot in, but rural and suburbian American streets are paved in roads where dreams aren't restricted with hurdles that have been placed in they're paths intentionally. The game of LIFE is so unfair but you can only play the cards you are dealt so you must play them well and understand that LIFE isn't fair so stay focused and on your course
This Movie Is So Real!! Single Black Woman With Kids From Hood Doing Her Best To Raise Bye Herself💪🏿💪🏿 And At The End She Got To See Her Daughter Do It & Achieve It!! I Love The Cornbread Lol❤❤
Excellent movie
Wonderful movie 💯👏🏼
This movie made me cry. Brilliant story👍
