“REVOLT Black News Weekly” examines why Hollywood seems to be warming up to Black women taking on roles they’ve never played before on-screen — think Halle Bailey in ‘The Little Mermaid,’ Yara Shahidi as Tinkerbell, Letitia Wright in ‘Wakanda Forever,’ Viola Davis in ‘Woman King’ and more — as well as leading ladies like Gina Prince Bythewood, AV Rockwell, Quinta Brunson, Ava Duvernay behind the scenes.
What ignited this modern revolution that put Black women in roles that defied the tired stereotypes? Is it possibly the Shonda Rhimes effect? And will it last?
Then, host Kennedy Rue heads to Virginia Beach with our friends at Walmart to check out the Something In The Water music festival to celebrate and spotlight Black entrepreneurs, creatives, and makers of all kinds.
