Pakistan’s renowned journalist and Oscar winning inspirational filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy on Monday has once again won Academy Award of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the category of “Best Documentary-Short Subject” from across the globe for ‘A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness’.

Chinoy in her speech praised “all the brave men out there, like my father and my husband, who push women to go to school and work and who want a more just society for women.”

After meeting Chinoy recently in Islamabad, Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif in a statement vowed to “rid Pakistan of this evil by bringing in appropriate legislation.”

“That is the power of film,” Chinoy said at the Oscars. Other accolades include a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, a Crystal Award from the World Economic Forum and a state honor from the Pakistani government. The film is based on the story of an eighteen year old girl, a survivor of the horrific honor killing attempt, who recounts the atrocious event and her tale of romance. Known locally as “Karo-Kari” the barbaric act claims thousands of victims each year.

The killing is seen as a means of restoring honor in the family household which they believe a girl has destroyed and brought dishonor to the family name. Over 4000 cases were reported in Pakistan between 1998 and 2004, with the highest rates being in Punjab followed by Sindh. In the year 2012, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, 37, had also made Pakistan proud after her documentary ‘Saving Face’ was awarded the Best Documentary Short Subject at the Oscars, making her the first Pakistani national to win an Academy Award. Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy is the only Pakistani filmmaker ever to win both an ‘Academy Award’ and an ‘Emmy Award’ and the first non-American to win a ‘Livingston Award for Young Journalists’. Chinoy has directed numerous films, each one a creative masterpiece, with fans all over the world appreciating her highly critical work. She has won numerous rewards for her work in more than 10 different countries. Her documentaries have aired on major television networks including CNN, Channel 4, PBS, HBO, CBC, the Discovery Channel, Arte and SBS. Hip Chick she is!please go see this film SUPPORT LEARN.

Brian Wilson there are no words I can say right no Brian Wilson there are no words I can say right now. The Beach boys had such a huge influence on my life. They had a huge influence on American music. Sheer genius was Brian Wilson sheer genius. His music will continue and he's upstairs in heaven playing with Sly Stone who passed away yesterday. We're losing some major players here, but their music will live in our hearts forever. @brianwilsonlive #beachboys #beachgirl #musicalgenius What this man meant to my life, our lives, is unmatched by anyone in all of music.  That music is so deep, so emotional, so Brian. RIP Brian Wilson.
Sly And the family Stone was the first concert th Sly  And the family Stone was the first concert that I ever went to at Madison square garden when I was 12 years old with her good friend of mine from high School of Art and Design, Nina . During this very early years I was so in love with this band and absolutely the musicality and the lyrics and everything they stood for they stood for empowerment. Thet had a big impact on my life. I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Sly Stone, a true innovator and pioneer of funk who reshaped music and culture. His work with Sly & the Family Stone broke barriers - bringing together races, genders, and genres with bold sound and unapologetic joy.

Sly’s songs like “Everyday People,” “Stand!,” and “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)” weren’t just hits - they were anthems of unity, love, and revolution.

Today we mourn his loss, but let’s also celebrate his legacy - a legacy of courage, creativity, and breaking down walls through music.

Rest well, Sly. Your music & spirit live on. 💜

#trurh #musicislife @slystoneofficial @the_official_sly_and_family_st  I listen to this music over and over again and I still listen to this music today. Rest in peace you genius hip cat !
Today is my wedding anniversary day. Today I celeb Today is my wedding anniversary day. Today I celebrate my marriage to the late Gregg Stegeman . I'm wishing my late husband a beautiful day upstairs in heaven. There's nothing better than a good marriage. Having your best friend in your life everyday. Enjoying life's moments together .Sharing your bed with your best friend every night. And when you both feel like you're in the mood, knowing that that man is in the bed next to you so you can make love whenever you want because he is in fact your husband. Having a confidant. Having someone to share the ups and downs of life with you. I was blessed to have Gregg Stegeman in my life for so many years. Gregg was a beautiful man. A creative man. A kind man. His spirit is missed daily.

 as my journey continues Gregg has been up in heaven for almost 7 years, I carry him in my heart everyday.

 Here's to hope , hope that I will find another love partner someday before I go to heaven. 

Until then, I'm blessed with all of my dear friends who I surround myself with

Until then I thank the Lord everyday for Ziggy for the passion I have for music and the arts and my position at Greystone.

Gregg passed away on August 13 seven years ago.

Love will always win. #anniversarycelebration #weddinganniversary❤️ #friendsforever #photography #lovestory #investing in love #friendship
