“If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” – Shirley Chisolm. This month's #LoveOurGirls newsletter celebrates ‘The Firsts’. We focus on Black women who have broken through the dual barriers of racism and sexism. Who have lived lives of protest and claimed the space to fulfill their potential, in a world that tells us we do not fit the mold. We’re spotlighting Shirley Chisholm - the first Black woman in Congress and the first to make a presidential bid, as well as the National Coalition of 100 Black Women (@nc100bwinc), an organization focused on nurturing black women leaders in all realms of society to name a few. We’re also giving you more opportunities to get involved in the fight for the soul of our nation — to sign a petition for justice for Breonna Taylor and register to vote. Now is the time we fight for a different tomorrow. To seek an anti-racist, anti-sexist America is to combat the status quo. Every day. In the words of an American hero, Rep. John Lewis, let’s make some ‘good trouble’. The link is in my bio. (https://bit.ly/LOGJuly2020)

A 42 éves színésznő azt az izgalmas történelmi időszakot fogja felidézni, amikor egy színesbőrű hölgy indult az amerikai elnöki székért. Az 1972-es eseményeket a The Fighting Shirley Chisholm című film fogja ábrázolni, mely elsősorban nem az életrajzi adatokra fog koncentrálni.

To My TWD Family - Is it possible to feel your heart is broken and overwhelmed with love all at once? Leaving Michonne was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I am so grateful for the kindness, beauty, and generosity of love that I have received over the last couple of days. I have changed and grown living in this role which has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to play. The astounding #WalkingDead fandom who supported the characters we created and the world we strived to bring to life are the ones who made this incredible journey possible. To receive so much love from you means everything to me. Thank you to the amazing cast and crew I had the pleasure and honor to work with to tell this story. SO many incredible human beings. I leave knowing with every ounce of my being how hard it is to find that type of community and connection. People who have your back, true collaborators who are pursuing the story above all things and who are pouring it out with love and abundance. The balm in it all is this amazing family I have gained. Everyone, from Andy Lincoln to every last faithful fan, everyone is #TWDFamily, and I am so thankful for that family. And I know it never stops. We will continue to grow and be together in various ways along the journey. We have touched each other. And so, it never ends. Thank you so much for the videos and tributes; for all the messages of love and support. For sharing what #Michonne meant to you. They have enriched me so much during this difficult time in the world. I cannot express my love and gratitude enough. Always, Danai

Inkább egy bepillantás lesz az akkor forradalmian frissnek számító kampányba. Úgy volt, hogy az 55 éves Viola Davis kapja a szerepet, és Maggie Betts lesz a direktor, ám a Walking Dead Michonne-ját Cherien Dabis fogja rendezni.

Az Orange Is the New Black sztárja, Uzo Aduba nemrég megjelenítette Chisholmot a Hulu sorozatában (Mrs. America), mely alakításért Emmy-díjat is kapott a 39 éves színésznő – teszi hozzá a Just Jared.
