Out of all the red carpet events I attend in New York & LA, Black Girls Rock! is my absolute FAVORITE to cover.
Why? Well let me count the ways
1. As a red carpet correspondent, getting celebs to stop and talk is no easy task. I have to yell and scream to grab their attention, sometimes to no avail. The job is fun but it's not as glamorous as it looks. But at Black Girls Rock! mostly all the stars make time to chat and give great interviews. It makes my job that much easier!
Super happy that I got to interview Zimbabwean-American superstar Danai Gurira (side note: we almost have on the same outfit..LOL) |
Black Girls Rock! is such an important show. In a world that constantly tells black girls that they are not enough, this show reaffirms our girls in the best way possible. Reminding them of their excellence, ingenuity, strength and beauty. It's a show that everyone in the family can watch together and get INSPIRED to reach for more.
It's such a POWERFUL show! This year they honored:
GLADYS KNIGHT |
BLACK LIVES MATTER FOUNDERS |
SHONDA RHIMES |
AMANDLA STENBERG |
RIHANNA |
DANAI GURIRA |
If you are in America Black Girls Rock! airs on April 5th (tomorrow evening)at 8pm EST and in the UK and Africa on April 9th.
Don't miss it! Btw, did you catch the announcement that Black Girls Rock! is heading to Africa? Yep it's true, I will keep you posted on all the deets as they develop.
I had so much chopping it up with the celebs, please tweet me @makhondlovu or hit me on Facebook to let me know what you think.
