‘I’m very excited to be partnering with a company like MAC who I’ve watched collaborate with strong women of color over the years. I’ve been a fan of MAC ever since I was 15 years old; and started experimenting with makeup. It was the first bran that made me like makeup.

Matrix 4 -Uhm… Halle Needs a Role in This One!

ArianneUpdated on June 12, 2020June 11, 2020

Not sure if it was the steely black sunglasses; or the shiny noire ensembles in general. However, Chloe x Halle’s Forgive Me music video had us feeling some type of way! Like the energy and vibe of it is just ELECTRIC. The dark, raw edginess of their visuals turned the wheels upstairs and reminded us that Matrix 4 is on the way (yay lol); and it got us thinking. Halle for the win?

Of course, we are sure that the next installment of the Matrix is going to pull out all the stops. BUT… it is kinda missing a new generation bridge. Their are The cast thus far has a lot of returning faces ( Thank major G). Since part of the nostalgia is being reacquainted with familiar characters as well as situations.

At the moment, Keanu Reeves will return as the beloved Neo; while actresses Carrie-Anne Moss and Jada Pinkett Smith will reprise their roles as Trinity and Nobe. Adding to their flair… Priyanka Chopra, Jessica Henwick, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Neil Patrick Harris will also all star in the film.

Matrix 4 -Uhm… Halle Needs a Role in This One

Now we know die hard fans of the series will be hitting the theaters HARD to view this film regardless of who’s in it. Nevertheless, we can not help but think what an addition Halle would make to this movie. Like really hear us out on this one.

She’s got the vibe of a Halle Berry with the angelic, good girl wink of a Dorothy Dandridge going for her. Plus, the girls has the goods and experience to pull it off. She’s already worked in the entertainment industry for a number of years; proving that her work ethic is perfect for a big budget film. But her resume helps too!

She’s been apart of a super duo in the realm of music. PLUS she stars as a regular on a hit TV show (Grown-ish). And even the mouse approves! Halle scored big snatching up the role of Ariel in the upcoming live action of The Little Mermaid.

The girl is qualified and deserves more top roles. Additionally, she would bring a whole new audience to the franchise. Thus, blending the old school with the new school. A total win-win.

What’s also winning is the fact that the fourth Matrix which is set to release May 21, 2021; will still have the Wachowski touch. Lana Wachowski, who is one of the two Wachowskis who directed the previous three films; is set to co-write and direct the next installment.

Laura Harrier Covers Porter Magazine-Chic and Beating the Hollywood Heat!

ArianneUpdated on June 4, 2020June 4, 2020

Laura Harrier is enjoying a career that some girls can only dream of and envision in their minds. From starring in a Marvel film with Spiderman; working with an Oscar winning visionary on BlacKKKlansman; to being cast in a Netflix original. Harrier is having success… but still keeping her eyes WIDE open. This month, Laura Harrier Covers Porter Magazine and she talks about the truth in Hollywood; in front and behind the camera.

FASHION NOTES: In this edition of Porter, Laura also wears a plethora of designer ensembles. Just a few include looks by: Azzedine Alaia, Alexander McQueen, Loewe and Simone Rocha. Chic!

Laura Harrier Covers Porter Magazine-Chic and Beating the Hollywood Heat

Hollywood. It’s one interesting place. It’s the realm of the Golden Era of film; yet a landfill of unkind and sad mistreatment. The same home of glitz and glamour that had separate entrances and regulations for black actors and actresses. While some got to portray queens and ladies of leisure; others were unfortunately only in “heart-warming” stories of slaves, housemaids and hard up entertainers.

However, the industry has made some strides. Black actors and actresses have been able to be the Queens, heroes and intellectual (hi Hidden Figures) role models in various film roles. Yet, there is still more that can be done. Some of these roles are still far and in-between of what they can be. Representation is important for all; it’s what helps build confidence and inspiration in others.

In Porter Magazine, actress Laura Harrier dives into this subject matter. Regarding their story with Harrier, Porter Magazine states,

“From Spike Lee’s Oscar-winning ‘BlackKklansman’ to Ryan Murphy’s star-studded new show Hollywood; actor Laura Harrier is carving out an impressive career. She talks to Porter about swapping red carpets for Zoom calls. The strength in community; and the importance of representation in front of and behind the camera.

[Head online] to read the interview and see more from the story. Shot by Sonia Szostak and styled by Danielle Goldberg.”

As one can see, there is much to be learned from those in the “trenches” of Hollywood. Hopefully, open discussion such as this one between Harrier and Porter will help change the movie and television status quo.
