We re thankful these funny, fearless and fierce Black actresses kept us sane with good screen time. THE FORTY-YEAR-OLD VERSION: RADHA BLANK | Netflix
For Black women in Hollywood this year, we might not have seen many of their great performances on the big screen but that didn’t stop their work from being impactful. Take for instance Nicole Beharie as a former beauty queen desperate for her daughter to break their family’s generational cycle in
Miss Juneteenth. Or KiKi Layne as a soldier-turned-reluctant-mercenary in Gina Prince-Bythewood’s
The Old Guard. Both projects, and a few others, played in limited theaters as well as on demand as many studios and streaming services adjusted their releases due to the pandemic.
