I love this woman!
Black folks need to support movies like this,we are quick to cry foul when the big studios don’t cast blacks as leads,or in major productions. Well, here’s how to change that: make sure these movies open at No 1 with outstanding figures,and make sure they continue to dominate box office,then maybe those hollywood execs will finally see that there’s a market,huge one at that for black movies. That’s one way to show black lives do matter…don’t just protest,put your money where your mouth is
Awesome
