Two things made me angry: 1) she didn't tell ANYONE her plans before she left which could've saved a ton of drama and heartache. 2) I expected racist people, but never expected black people betray other black people for money. ANGERED ME! Reminded me of today how we don't support one another within the black community. Some cisgender black people don't like LGBT+ black people. Some cisgender black people don't like each other; and same for LGBT+ black people. Just crazy frustrating! We haven't changed all this time.
Cynthia Erivo has won a Daytime Emmy Award for performing on the "Today" show with the cast of "The Color Purple" play as well as a Tony Award and a Grammy for her portrayal of "Celie" in the "The Color Purple" play. All she needs is an Oscar for this movie, which she will win. WOWOWOWOW! Janelle Monae and Leslie Odom Jr. rightly deserve Supporting Actor and Actress nominations respectively. And Kasi Lemmons DESERVES an Oscar nod for Best Director.
Watch this movie immediately. You will learn so much!!!!
