Queen and Slim! Don’t even know where to begin. Saw the movie yesterday. Still in deep thought. Words can’t even describe what this movie means to me! There are many things I want to say but can’t put into context. So instead, I will just celebrate the work of Lena Withe (screenplay writer) and Melina Matsoukas (director) of film Queen and Slim. These Black women need to be protected at all costs.
These divine goddesses created a body of work, intentionally curated from the tutelage of a higher power. They are important for the culture. They are the embodiment of Black Women Excellence. This was a film I didn’t know I needed. This film changed the zeitgeist of what it means to be Black in America. Thank you, Lena and Melina, for creating a safe space for Black culture to authentically exist. Black people are magical and this film encapsulates that. If you haven’t seen the film yet, just go see it!
Until Next Time…
