For the 24th day of International Black Women’s History Month, I’m spotlighting a film that roars with creative fire and historical truth: Bessie (2015). This powerful HBO biopic, directed by Dee Rees and starring the incomparable Queen Latifah, tells the story of one of the most iconic voices in American music—Bessie Smith, the “Empress of the Blues.”

I’m celebrating a show that brought laughter, healing, and the complexities of Black womanhood to our screens in a fresh and unforgettable way: Half & Half.

Whether connected by blood, friendship, mentorship, or shared purpose, sisterhood is a divine gift and a manifestation of God's favor.

I’m celebrating Living Single —a trailblazing sitcom that showcased Black women as successful, independent, and supportive of one another.

I am celebrating The Color Purple, a groundbreaking story of resilience, sisterhood, and self-discovery.
