Exactly five years ago today, with the guidance of friends, I decided to teach myself how to create a website. Long story short, sometime that evening a very plain version of Rosario Dawson Online was born. Countless re-designs, headaches, and major successes later it’s become something I’m pretty proud of. Thanks to people like Melly, Dai, Yolanda, Susannah and others who’ve answered every annoying technical question I’ve had. Special thanks to Justine and Crys who went the extra mile to sign on to be a part of the team. While Justine has moved on to other projects, her work and efforts are still appreciated.
Thank you to all the fans that have been visiting since the beginning and those who discover it each day. Your support is what has kept it running this whole time. From your fan submitted stories, artwork, photos and those who contribute to the forum, comments in the shoutbox and entries it’s clear this place would not function without you. Trust me, we know a re-design is overdue, and at the end of this message you’ll get a sneak peak on what’s in the works. We really encourage you to comment with features you want to see to make this a place you’ll love visiting.
Most of all thank you to Rosario Dawson, clearly without her this site would not exist. The reason this all began was from loving her movies and how much work she’s done for various communities as an activist. We respect her a great deal and we hope that comes across in what we do. Thank you to her for entrusting us here to represent her on some small level. As a fan it still shocks me to this day that she knew this existed, let alone liked it. We can’t wait to see what else she has in store and as she said two years ago, we hope this relationship continues to bring you more things to come.
So thank you again, and as promised, here is a tiny teaser at what you may see sometime soon. (Don’t judge too harshly yet folks, it’s just a photo)
Peace and love,
Joliz
