Welcome to day one of 30 Days of Uncaping, Unmasking, and Unhiding the Strong Black Superwoman.
Over the next 30 days we’re going to peel back the layers of four popular television characters [Olivia Pope, Annalise Keating, Cookie Lyon, and Mary Jane Paul], who in their individual roles embody the stereotypical Strong Black Superwoman.
First up is OLIVIA POPE. In this episode we start peeling back the layers to determine what cape and mask she wears.
What’s inside:
