The story of Harriet Tubman is coming to the big screen this November.
Aptly titled ‘Harriet,’ the biopic stars Cynthia Erivo in the lead role and chronicles the iconic story of the American freedom fighter.
The flick, which also features Leslie Odom Jr, Janelle Monae, and Jennifer Nettles, hones in on Tubman’s escape from slavery and transformation into one of America’s greatest heroes.
In a new first look trailer, the masses are see how her courage, tenacity, and bravery freed hundreds of slaves and changed the course of history.

The world renown Jamaican icon Spice rocked SumFest with ease and style hours ago, soaring into action with a set which saw her breathe fresh life into her discography and honour ‘Scent of Attraction’ performer Patra!
SumFest is an annual event and has seen the multi-talented performer dominate its stage in the past with performances designed to showcase her love of SciFi, musical theatre…and the artists she credits for inspiring her foray into music.
I’ve watched this Spice Sumfest video about 20 times today.. I may just get a pink bob wig next ??♀️

The Presidential candidate leads the charge on a spirituality front and has been keen to stress how important it is for the world to combat Donald Trump’s divisiveness nature with love and policies which inspire unity amongst Americans.
This week’s From The Vault salutes none other than Missy Elliott.
Beyond being a female rap pioneer, the multi-talented star serves as a visual trailblazer. Case in point the video for 2001 smash ‘One Minute Man (ft. Ludacris & Trina).’
Lifted from ‘Miss E… So Addictive’ – Elliott’s third studio album – the track hit #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #10 on the UK’s Official Top 40. It peaked within the top 20 in a multitude of other regions.
Like most Missy offerings, the Timbaland produced bop was turbo-charged by its high-octane video.
Directed by longtime collaborator Dave Meyers, the clip showcased the trademark flair of Missy’s visual style. For it featured fire choreography, a multitude of set-ups, and quirks aplenty.
Beyond the video, lyrically the cut resonates for its unashamed embrace of female sexual agency. While women of the past were relegated to ornamental objects created for the male gaze (see: the 90s and 00s love affair with “video models”), the likes of Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, and Missy (with releases like ‘One Minute Man’) levelled the playing field by being unapologetic with their demands of the opposite sex. In the process, they created the definitive pinkprint for the “say it how we feel it” mantras of the City Girls and Megan Thee Stallion‘s of today.
Hot Girl Summer may be all the rage in the here and now, but this scorching June ’01 release undoubtedly serves as its original chapter.
