Inside Alfre Woodard's - Sistahs’ Soirée - an annual Oscar party for black actresses

[frankthesheep]

Alfre Woodard throws an annual Oscar party for black actresses “so that we don’t get into that bogus sense of competition that the business wants,” Woodard told me, where “they send everybody from KiKi Layne to Cicely Tyson up for the same role.” https://t.co/2tWPI9Lg2A

Cynthia Erivo, though, sis ? :/

[friarsfire]

I’ve always loved her as an actor but now I love her even more as a person. I really appreciate these established actors using their standing in the industry to unite their community.
