A beacon of light and intention. His charismatic being,his dedication to the art and his array of talent is what will be missed. His role in ‘The Wire’ as Omar will forever be TV royalty.
May you now know rest. You will be forever missed Michael K.Williams 💐
Issa Rae deserves every flower that she is given. She opened doors for black creatives, while doing it her way.
Black Women win again.

Taraji P. Henson, you are ONE of ONE.
From ‘Baby Boy’ to now playing Shug Avery in ‘The Color Purple’, you are the full spectrum of the culture.
You are the Empire who Acts like a Star and Thinks like a Boss. One thing about the culture, we’re always going to pull up for you.
I hope you knew you were legendary. I hope you knew that the world paused and listened when you spoke. We bended to your every move, every inflection, every word.
Because of you we live fuller.

“It's Not Color, It's Culture."
Culture is something that can’t be taught in film school, it’s inherited from living the life and fighting the good fight. Culture is the bible and soundtrack of our lives that moves everything forward.
"No other movie in 2018 will come close to this one in terms of balancing far-out weirdness with a compelling, meaningful story."
