Natural Screen Acting Workshop -- No Makeup, No Tricks
I refused the Hollywood makeover. My eyebrows stayed thick, my name stayed Swedish, and the camera loved me anyway. I teach you to show up as yourself and let that be enough. We work on emotional transparency, natural movement, and the courage to be imperfect on camera. Tip: Beauty fades. Honesty doesn't.
Screen Coolness Workshop -- Less Is More, Period
I cut half my lines from every script. The directors hated it. The audience loved it. I teach you the Meisner principle applied to film: react truthfully, say only what's essential, and let your face do the work. Tip: If you can say it with a look, don't say it with words.
Thermodynamics Workshop -- Heat, Work & Efficiency
Hands-on session with steam models, thermometers, and pressure gauges. You'll learn the relationship between heat, pressure, volume, and work. Why does steam push a piston? Why does a condenser improve efficiency? Why can't you build a perpetual motion machine? Tip: Energy is never created or destroyed, only converted. The trick is converting more of it into useful work and less into waste heat.
Antibiotic Resistance Lecture -- The Crisis We Created
I warned about this in my 1945 Nobel lecture. Bacteria evolve resistance when we use antibiotics carelessly. The ignorant man who takes insufficient doses creates resistant strains. Seventy years later, it is a global crisis. This lecture covers the mechanism and what we can still do.
Laboratory Safety Equipment Set (PPE, Full Kit)
Complete lab safety kit: goggles, face shield, nitrile gloves, lab coat, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, chemical spill kit. My brother died in an explosion. Safety is not optional. Every experiment begins with the question: what is the worst that can happen, and am I prepared for it?
Samurai Screen Combat Workshop -- The Way of the Blade
Katana work for film. Proper draw, strike, and resheath. We use bokken (wooden swords) first, then move to iaito (blunt steel). I'll teach you the difference between real kenjutsu and what looks good on camera. Kurosawa insisted on realism -- the audience can feel a fake swing. Tip: Speed comes from relaxation, not tension.
Public Speaking Masterclass -- The Voice That Cannot Be Ignored
Whether you're addressing a boardroom or a protest march, your voice must carry conviction. I'll teach you pacing, breath control, and how to land a sentence so it stays in the room after you've left. Harry and I spoke at the March on Washington. The microphone helps, but the message does the work.
Anti-Colonial Resistance Seminar -- 16 Years Against France
How I fought the French empire for sixteen years with local resources. Scorched earth, strategic retreat, rebuilding in new territory, diplomatic maneuvering with the British. When France took my western empire, I built a new one further east. Tip: If you cannot hold the ground, take the people and the knowledge. Territory can be reconquered. Dead men cannot.
Dialect & Accent Coaching -- From Caribbean to Classical
I rebuilt my voice from a thick Bahamian accent to classical American diction. I can teach you to do the same with any accent. We work on vowel placement, consonant precision, and rhythm. The goal isn't to erase where you're from -- it's to choose how you sound for each role.
Camera Confidence Workshop -- Owning the Lens
The camera is not your enemy. It's your best friend -- the one who sees everything and forgives everything. I teach you how to find your light, your angle, and your truth. We work with a live camera feed so you can see yourself the way the audience sees you.
West African Cavalry Saber & Leather Shield
Mandinka cavalry saber and leather-covered wicker shield. My sofa (warrior) cavalry was the backbone of the Wassoulou Empire. Light, fast, armed with sabers and locally-made muskets. The shield stops arrows and deflects glancing sword cuts -- it is not meant to take a direct hit.
Supply Chain Independence Workshop -- Self-Sufficiency
Building a self-sufficient military supply chain. Local manufacturing, resource management, trade network building, reducing dependence on external suppliers. The French tried to starve me of weapons. I built my own factories. Tip: Every dependency is a vulnerability. Every skill you outsource is a throat your enemy can cut.
