Hello, Sup Forums. I'm an independently wealthy African American who's been lurking Sup Forums for several years now. For example:
I've asked Sup Forums several times in the past what I could do with my wealth as a black American to better the condition for all of America. I also told you all that my next major investments would be in "mass media".
Well I'm proud to say that I my good friend Pharrell Williams got in contact with me about a script for a movie adaptation of the real-life story of Katherine G. Johnson:

I was honored and flattered by the opportunity and I'm proud to say that I've invested $25M of my own money towards the production budget for this film: Specifically for principle research as well as some marketing and production.
It just so happens that I'm also close personal friends with John Glen and was able to get his insight as to Katherine's story as well. Unfortunately, I've never had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Johnson in real life, but have since befriended her three daughters who were delighted to help advise us.
The hope is that the telling of positive, factual stories about ordinary black folks will help inspire the black community to aspire to do more with their lives than play-in to your usual stereotypes. It's also my way of informing America that black people contribute more to this great country more than most people even know, and there are more inventors and geniuses among the black race than just George Washing Carver (who did NOT invent peanut butter, BTW).
Here is a preview of the film:

I've already seen the principle photography for the film (parts before final editing) and it looks palatable. Although I must admit that what I've screened so far a bit sensational and somewhat overly theatric, but overall, it should do well with general audiences when it hits the box office come January.
Cheers!
