Kearran giovanni biography of christopher

I was intrigued by the premise of “Homestead.” America is attacked by a combination of a nuclear terrorist bomb and Russian operations, resulting in a population of survivors that is fragmented, isolated and afraid. To boot, it’s a faith-based production from Angel Studios, so it’s less focused on machine gun mayhem (though there’s a bit of that) than regular people caught in moral quandaries.

Neal McDonough, who also is credited as a producer, plays the benevolent owner of a large ranch property in the fictional Oakwood community “somewhere in the Rocky Mountains.” He invites family, friends and a contingent of special forces military types to hole up with him for the duration of whatever happens in this apparent apocalypse.

This band of survivors is well stocked with food, weapons and expertise to endure whatever transpires… or so they think. What they didn’t count on was internal strife, mostly over what to do about the increasing brigade of refugees at their front gate demanding entry and assistance.

Ian Ross (McDonough) is a decent guy, a 10-gallon hat type with a square jaw that you don’t have any doubts about who he voted for in the recent election. His wife, Jenna (Dawn Olivieri), is the kind-hearted sort who wants to fling open the doors and let everyone in. Ian is keeping careful count of the wheat and other sundries, fretting if they’ll have enough with the people already inside their fences to make it through till spring when they can replant again.

“Is this an ark or is it a fortress?” Jenna demands.

“It's our home,” Ian intones.

Jeff Eriksson (Bailey Chase) is the leader of the military contingent, who also has brought along his bi-racial family, including wife, Tara (Kearran Giovanni ), 17-year-old callow Abe (Tyler Lofton) and a foster daughter (Grace Powell) who was eerily prescient about the nuclear bomb off the cost of Los Angeles that marked the start of the event.

The film boasts decent production values and a grip

For Kearran Giovanni, travel has always played a huge part in her relationship with discovering delicious food. “My family knows [that] I don’t eat breakfast ... except in Mexico,” said the actress, known for her roles in “Walker,” “American Soul” and “Major Crimes.” “Mexican breakfast is one of my most favorite meals. The cheeses, homemade corn tortillas, meat stews, huevos rancheros. Give it to me! I am very lucky that my parents exposed me to all kinds of food. My dad traveled internationally for work and would come home and declare we needed to try XYZ and we would. Very lucky kid.” Based in Los Angeles, she keeps in touch with her fans on social media where she goes by the username @kearrangiovanni.

Q: I understand you will be traveling to Japan later this year. Have you been there before?

A: We are so excited for Japan. None of us have ever been and so it’s very exciting to discover this place as a family. We didn’t really take our kids on sightseeing trips until a few years ago. We just thought it didn’t make sense for us financially or time wise if they weren’t going to remember it. We started with Italy, then Paris and London. Japan was my husband’s idea. It was on his bucket list and he fought for it because of the culture. We think it will really be a place that is just worlds away from anything we have seen. That is something we want our kids to see – ancient traditions, temples and sushi. We all love sushi. Really excited for it all.

Q: As a visible minority, are you deterred from visiting certain places?

A: Not really. I’m Black and I grew up in the South, so I can only say that I’ve heard certain countries aren’t friendly to minorities. But honestly, I’ve felt unwelcome in places within my own country my whole life so nothing can shock me at this point. It wouldn’t stop me.

Q: When you travel alone, what do you do to ensure your safety?

A: I haven’t traveled alone for vacation, but I do travel alone for work quite often. Canada, Atlanta, Aust
