In case you haven’t seen it yet, this clip of Andrew Garfield, Ayo Edebiri, and Julia Roberts on the After the Hunt press tour is going viral, and not for a good reason.
Looks around in collective Black confusion
Skipping Black voices when you talk about our movement? That’s not an accident. That’s a choice.
When Black women speak truth, too often people look away, dismiss, or erase. Let us be clear: it’s intentional, and it’s unacceptable.
That’s why we uplift and celebrate voices like Queen Ayo’s. She didn’t wait for permission. She didn’t shrink herself to fit into a mainstream narrative that was never made for us. She showed up bold, unbothered, and unapologetic, and that is how liberation is built.
The truth is, the mainstream is burnt out, racist, and irrelevant to our future. It cannot define us. We define ourselves. We know our power, our brilliance, and our worth.
