Thoughts on Jada Pinkett Smith

I know Jada is polarizing but what are your thoughts on her as an actress? I saw her as an ascending actress in the 90s who had some damn good roles. For me she was best in Jason’s lyric.

Angela Bassett Melanated Tuesday Appreciation Post

award-winning American actress, director, and producer renowned for portraying powerful, real-life trailblazers and fictional icons across a career spanning four decades. She has earned two Golden Globe Awards, an Academy Honorary Award, and a Primetime Emmy Award, along with critical acclaim for her timeless performances on stage, film, and television.

Her most memorable role in my opinion was What’s Love Got to Do With It!

Share your thoughts on Ms Bassett!!!

‘They may draw racist maps, but we are the south’: thousands rally in Alabama for Black voting rights

Yes this is a political post but it directly relates to Melanated Gen X, allies, and future generations!!! If you are in a state that has been impacted by the gutting of The Voting Rights Act or have the ability to travel to one of these states, please join these protests ti show your outrage over this madness. Do not just post about it on Reddit or other platforms and do nothing. Yes!!! I do plan to do more than post this PSA.
