Cat Ellington Celebrates 49th Birthday With Release Of Memoirs in Gogyohka
![]() |
Quill Pen Ink Publishing, 2019 |
2:28 p.m.
Dear guests,
Memoirs in Gogyohka is finally here. Years in the making, the effort was inspired by my library of diaries and features dozens of entries that were selected to feature at random.
Every seven years, my birthday falls on Thanksgiving Day. And today just so happens to be the seventh year since the last time I celebrated my special day on Thanksgiving. It was always a big deal when my birthday fell on the holiday in years past, and today is no different. My publisher choosing this day to release Memoirs in Gogyohka (in recognition of my 49th year of life) is a HUGE deal. And it will be forever special.
Thank you, Quill Pen Ink Publishing. And congratulations on this new addition to your literary catalog: for it is a great honor.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Stay in love and be incredibly blessed.
Love,
Cat

Thank you. 👐🏾
Thank you as well, Vegas Movie Awards, for bestowing upon me—in my primary capacity as a songwriter—such an outstanding honor that will always stand.
Always.
Further, I humbly thank those 2019 VMA members of both the jury panel and programming staff for their Honorable Mention of me and my work at your beautiful event this month. Trust that I appreciate every one of you.

Cat Ellington's "I Do" Becomes Best 3 Finalist At 2019 Vegas Movie Awards

2019 Vegas Movie Awards | Category: Best Song: "I Do" Written by Cat Ellington |
In a spirit of genuine elation, I make known the 2019 Vegas Movie Awards' decision to promote my song, "I Do"—which is featured on the Dual Mania Original Motion Picture Soundtrack—to a Best 3 Finalist spot at its June event in dazzling Las Vegas.
Thank you so much, team Vegas Movie Awards. The year in which I composed "I Do" had been one of the roughest of my life; and it is a work that provided me with a certain "emotional" comfort during that time. So these honors represent a great deal to me as its creative mother.
On behalf of the Black Jaguar Music Company, I extend to all of you my sincerest gratitude for your kind recognition of this singular song work which came into being through it.
Thank you. 😊
