## Caption

Blue and red can’t compete with the mix this cast of leading ladies bring to the new iteration of ‘The Color Purple’! To be clear, this is not your mother’s version of the film. It is not intended as a remake of the earlier movie version. Rather, it is a big-screen adaptation of the Broadway musical, made for us, by us. 💜

Disclaimer: We recognize Black creatives are still fighting for their respect and equity; this fight has been displayed through this year’s labor strikes. It is important for us to let our readers know that ESSENCE conducted these interviews and photo shoot for our cover story in May 2023.
