THAT’S NOT OUR ICONIC BLACK ACTRESSES NAMES!!!!

i’ve had plenty of girl crushes before.
i’m gay but still allowed to find vixen’s beautiful.
last night,
i realized something…

I had a huge crush on Vivica A. Fox when I was a kid.

i came to that conclusion when i saw viv do this recent tiktok “they call me” challenge

 i’ve seen pretty much a majority of these movies she has been in.
i feel she doesn’t get the props she deserves tbh.
viv is an icon in black cinema and i’m gonna throw her flowers at her.

i really love this tik tok challenge tho.
i feel like when white people do this challenge,
it doesn’t give what they think it gives.

They have white privilege so everyone knows their “names”.

black people in hollywood and creative spaces struggle for their props.
i loved watching all of our black actresses having to remind folks:
