This is #GirlPower at its finest. Director Ava DuVernay is taking diversity into her own hands by employing only female directors for her OWN show, Queen Sugar.
“We’re hiring an all-women directorial team, a lot of women that we know from the Black independent film space that I won’t announce yet,” she said.
Now that’s how you boycott #OscarsSoWhite, by actually implementing change in the entertainment industry at the ground level and behind the lens.
This will be Ava’s first show. She excitedly explained, “I’m getting my Shonda on!”
