Wasn't Danielle Brooks suppose to play this role?!?!?!

I love Jill Scott and think she's a great actress but.... the colorism...

From the post:
"Lifetime recently announced that Danielle Brooks will star as Jackson in an upcoming TV film."

Lifetime recently announced that Danielle Brooks will star as Jackson in an upcoming TV film.

Jill Scott was so sexy in Black Lightning.

She really was.

I was so disappointed it when they got rid of her early in season 1. She was a great villain.

How many seasons did you watch?
