“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” — Alice Walker
Happy birthday to author and activist Alice Walker! In 1982, she became the first Black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for her iconic novel ‘The Color Purple.’ 💜
Walker is also a proud activist, best known for her commitment to women’s and civil rights. Today, we honor her for using her voice to remind us of the power we all hold.

Only 1 woman of color has won the Oscar for Best Leading Actress in 95 years. Halle Berry for Monster’s Ball in 2002, 21 years ago. 14 Black women, one child of color have been nominated in 95 years. Numbers don’t lie. 1954- Dorothy Dandridge for Carmen Jones. 1972- Cicely Tyson for Sounder. 1972- Diana Ross for Lady Sings the Blues. 1974- Diahann Carroll for Claudine. 1985- Whoopi Goldberg for The Color Purple. 1993- Angela Bassett for What’s Love Got to Do with It. 2001- Halle Berry for Monster’s Ball. 2009- Gabourey Sidibe for Precious. 2011- Viola Davis for The Help. 2012- Quvenzhane Wallis for Beasts of the Southern Wild. 2016- Ruth Negga for Loving. 2019- Cynthia Erivo for Harriet. 2020- Andra Day for The United States vs. Billie Holliday. 2020- Viola Davis for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. The fact, Chinonye Chukwu’s beautifully made, historically relevant and important film, Till and The Woman King got no nominations speaks volumes. Till about a mother whose horrific loss sparked the civil rights movement. Representation matters, and the Academy failed again to recognize powerful Black female lead films with uncomfortable truths. #oscars2023 #lackofrepresentation #till #chinonyechukwu #dorothydandridge #carmenjones #cicelytyson #sounder #dianaross #ladysingstheblues #diahanncarroll #claudine #whoopigoldberg #thecolorpurple #angelabassett #whatslovegottodowithit #halleberry @halleberry #gaboureysidibe #precious @violadavis #violadavis #quvenzhanéwallis #beastsofthesouthernwild @iamquvenzhane #ruthnegga #loving #cynthiaerivo @cynthiaerivo #harriet #andraday #theusvsbillieholiday #violadavis #maraineysblackbottom #danielledeadwylersnubbed https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn2BYEru8Jw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Them: What’s your style? Me: and my Is #feeling a style? Days like #nationaldanceday etc always make me want to create a #mentorshipprogram for #aspiringperformers. I’ve felt (like most artists feel) I’ve been told no more than anyone to ever do it. 😂 (I know better) It’s like movie #theColorPurple quote #allmylifeihadtofight 😂 I remember me asking an agent about upcoming auditions when I came back from a “hip hop” tour & their response was; we haven’t gotten any #hiphop jobs ryt now. I wanted to run down a decade of PROFESSIONAL experience in just about every style that called me (except #tap - but it’s DEF n me 👞💫) BUT that was a GREAT reminder of the QUICK & swift revolving door guarding this industry of artists. -HOWEVER U HAVE 2 ALWAYS #believeinyourself & know the true #gatekeeper so non of that sticks 2 u. -Every opportunity ain’t your opportunity bro- #keepgoin & set YOUR opportunity on 🔥🔥 Celebrate #internationaldanceday w ur #tiktok’s & ALL💯 📸 @aaronandersonvisuals 🧢 @goorinbros 🎭 @the.smith.house https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc9O_L8paSG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today we're wishing a very happy birthday to novelist and activist — Alice Walker — who was born on February 9, 1944. 
🏆 In 1982, Walker became the first Black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for her novel, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘭𝘦.
📚 Often included on banned book lists, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘗𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘭𝘦 documents the traumas and gradual triumph of Celie, a Black teenager raised in rural Georgia. The novel explores themes of cyclical racism as well as sexism, the power of female relationships, and the disruption of conventional gender roles.

REVIEW: While it has its faults, especially as a musical, The Color Purple (2023) is decent and well made, carried by the stellar cast of performances.
