After an elongated hiatus, ‘Atlanta’ returns on March 1st.

Now in its second season, the FX show (which is the brainchild of Donald Glover) is being co-dubbed ‘Atlanta Robbin Season.’

For those wondering why, the answer is supplied in the newly released trailer (“everybody gotta eat”).

The show sees Glover star as a college dropout-turned-manager to his cousin, a rising rapper played by Brian Tyree Henry. Season 2 is set during the holidays, which writer and exec producer Stephen Glover says serves a key purpose. Because its a window during which robberies rise as people buy more things and need more money. Per the show’s writers, the “tense and desperate time” becomes a metaphor for the characters.

Why? The success she is projected to enjoy with her latest movie Black Panther.’

How she’s celebrating its release? By gracing the pages of ‘Allure’ with a stellar shoot, an interview that offers insight into her life as it is today and a conversation about her hair.

Around 13 or 14, I had such a rough time with being teased and feeling really unpretty. My dad intervened and spoke to my mom about my hair, and she finally agreed. She took me to the salon in the middle of the school day, and I got my hair relaxed. I felt so much better because it was easier to tame. All the girls in my class had their hair relaxed. Very few had natural kink, so I felt a lot more acceptable.
