Peter (Will Smith) is a slave in 1863, on a cotton/onion plantation in rural Louisiana. He’s whipped by an overseer, bullied for his defiant behavior, separated from his wife and children, and sent to work on the railroads. Hearing that President Lincoln has issued the Emancipation Proclamation, Peter and other captives escape and head towards Baton Rouge seeking out Union soldiers who control the city. Chased for ten days by slave hunters and tracked by dogs through a labyrinth of bayous, his goal is to find freedom and reunite with his family.

The Wendy Williams TV Show aired from 2008-2022. The incomparable host who made a purple chair famous and powerful, along with her producers was nominated for coveted awards during the height of its run. There were several Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host, a People Choice Award for Favorite Daytime TV Host and more. Yet, most importantly the show was nominated by fans as their ‘tea’ of choice. Tea, the small yet venomous modern day urban slang word for hot gossip. Wendy Williams, aka ‘shock jock’ aka the “queen of tea’ had a ‘tea’ party five days a week, with a catalog of over one thousands episodes for roughly 13 years. There wasn’t a celebrity excluded and every fan was invited to take a nosy sip. During one episode, staying true to her style of equal opportunity of ridicule, the former Mrs. Williams-Hunter relationship was the day’s tea. Yes, hard work and hardships were twins during her climb to success and she balanced them progressively for years. However, her climb to success and eventual star on the coveted Hollywood Walk of Fame was not achieved alone. As we all proverbially know there are three sides to every story but at least ten sides to every tea.

With the release of director Chinonye Chukwu’s “Till,” the conversation of the nation’s racist history and violence toward Black people is being revisited. The film retells the tragic story of 14-year-old Emmett Till, who was brutally abducted, beaten and killed by two white men for allegedly whistling at a white woman, Carolyn Bryant Donham, in 1955. Told through the perspective of his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, played by actress Danielle Deadwyler, the film shows how Till’s death became a symbol of Black injustice that helped sparked the civil rights movement.
