Large groups of fashionable fans and VIPS gathered at the Television Academy on Monday, October 16, to celebrate TV titan, Marla Gibbs. As a part of their ten-year anniversary, Hollywood Confidential hosted an evening of joy, inspiration, and Black excellence, while creating space for gratitude and open dialogue about the highlights and challenges of breaking into the industry.
Starting out with a small smile, Marla Gibbs’ face soon broke into a huge grin as her career achievements were immortalized with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Despite these unpredictable times with the COVID-19 pandemic still doing its damage especially to the African-American and Latino population. There is an Ethiopian proverb
that says: If you pick up one end of the stick you also pick up the other. Standing on this wisdom it’s vital that Black women take the time to take care of the most important person in the world —us. We Black and Brown women are strong no doubt but we have a history of putting others before ourselves and that lack of self-care has proven deadly for us. Deadly for our families, the community, and the advancement in all areas from the largest to the smallest.
