A Candid Convo w/ Adepero Oduye On Prepping For “Pariah,” Coming Into Her Own As A Black Actress
Here’s the star of the film Adepero Oduye chatting openly with about a variety of issues related to the film, like how she prepped for her role by going to a lesbian party in character, her blossoming career as an actress, following her dream despite the odds, defeating expectations, learning to stay true to herself and not give into industry pressures (especially with respect to black actresses), what’s next for her, and more.
The Huffington Post reported that Ava Duvernay became the first black woman to win ‘best director’ at Sundance Film Festival Sunday. Her film, Middle of Nowhere is the second full-length feature for the director.

Just watched this great film:
Skin is a biographical tale of a resilient woman. It is based on the true story of Sandra Laing, a Black woman born to two white parents in apartheid era South Africa. After years of rejecting herself and trying to understand why her skin color is such an issue, Sandra finally accepts herself when she falls in love with a Black man. Unfortunately the cost of coming to terms with her skin color is tearing apart her family. Her father, who spent years campaigning for her to be classified as white, disowns her and the rest of the family falls in line. The movie follows her as she struggles to make it on her own, raise a family and reconnect with her family.
This was a decent book and an interesting case.
