You heard it from the GOAT herself, the BEST round table ever! Our November/December cover stars sat down for an emotionally uplifting discussion about The Color Purple movie - and yes, you will need to grab a box of tissues. Head over to ESSENCE.com to watch the full discussion! 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.
