So, I didn't want watch the Emmys last night but I did wake up to some amazing news regarding the awards show- Viola Davis, Regina King and Uzo Aduba all won Emmys last night. Why is this relevant? Because all three of these women are phenomenal, talented BLACK women and it is instantly refreshing to see them get the praise they deserve for their work. Bout damn time! Oh, and check out the black girl love and support amoung fellow stars at the awards show - http://theculture.forharriet.com/2015/09/8-times-black-women-were-each-others.html#axzz3mOOO8Um3
Speaking of black women and their amazingness- 7 Black Women have taken over the covers of multiple September issues of major magazines. I am especially thrilled about this because I hate when I am waiting in line at the grocery store, or wherever and all I see on the newsstand is NON-black faces. Well, not this month. Let's not make this a trend and keep it going more consistently... Check out the mags here: 7 Black women takeover magazine newsstands
Anddd this bossy new Apple commercial featuring Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson and Mary J. Blidge aired last night and made pretty much everyone's life:
Lastly! Don't forget to check out the next episode of The Pineapple Diaries tomorrow, Tuesday September 22nd at 9am on YouTube ;)
Wishing you peace, love and an abundance of black girl magic!
