All I can tell you is that everyone deserves an . The experience with her was the height of professionalism, the quality of the photos I had not even imagined were possible. The experience of looking at yourself, and doing a double take because someone saw the beauty in you and pulled it out. I travelled 3000 miles to get an image of the real me. . That’s the post.

OPINION | Black Women in 2023: Win, Lose or Draw
A Review. A look back at this year’s triumphs, challenges, and moments that remain caught in between. *******************Link in Bio******************. As a lover of popular culture, for the many examples it provides of that which makes us all simply human, I was glad to do a 2023 year-in-review on Black Women for . Give it a read. What highlights of the year would you include in your year in review for Black women? Is it a version of our two steps forward and one step back keeping us busy fighting with oppressive systems rather than just simply living our lives? I wonder.

The WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike continues to have Hollywood in a chokehold more than four months after The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) and unions failed to reach an agreement. With fall TV underway, several daytime talk shows have announced their returns, with some such as “The Drew Barrymore Show” and “The Talk” sparking backlash and others like “Sherri” and “Tamron Hall” continuing with no drama outside their studios.

The WGA is not picketing “Tamron Hall” or “Sherri” because the shows are not struck work. Executives at “Sherri” confirm that the show does not and never has employed WGA writers.

Why? Because, unlike some of her counterparts, Shepherd is a seasoned stand-up comic who has mastered the art of thinking on her feet and concocting her own material. She doesn’t rely on scripts written by others as someone like Barrymore, who has made her career as an actress, does.

Similarly, Tamron Hall is a journalist, and her skill set lends itself to being original. It’s all part of her brand and her talent and the major reason why the WGA has no issue with the show proceeding. These women are uniquely suited to continue without disruption.

On Sept. 1, Shepherd, an Emmy-winning host and SAG-award-nominated actress, showed her support for the SAG-AFTRA strikes when she picketed with Viola Davis and Niecy Nash in Los Angeles and shared photos and video on Instagram.
