28 Days of Black Cosplay Extended version

Making waves by being the youngest producer in Hollywood history, Marsai Martin stars in 'Little' which could be likened to 'Big' or 'Freaky Friday' but with Black people.

With the beautiful and talented Regina Hall playing a stuck up tech mogul who terrorises and humiliates her employees, she gets her own hilarious version of karma, when she's magically transformed into a 14year old girl.

Hilarity ensues as the 'Blackish' meme-queen Marsai Martin plays the adult in a child's body, navigating her life with a new body, hopefully learning a few lessons along the way.

And guess who else we can catch in this film, none other than the awesome Issa Rae! We literally couldn't be more spoiled with all the black talent in this film.

'Little' out in April

Michaela coel soars in 'black earth rising'

Its time to talk about my lady of supreme acting intensity Ms Michaela Coel. She has once again blessed us with her presence, this time in the BBC drama Black Earth Rising and boy this show and her character does not hold any punches. A departure from the fictional and comedic works that you may have seen her in previously (Chewing Gum, Aliens, Black Mirror) but no less intense and fabulous, bringing her unique energy to this new role, which is based around the Rwandan genocide.

What I love about this show, besides the unashamed examination of western paternalism and causation in this gruesome conflict, is the portrayal of mental health through Michaela's character which she wears without shame and yet is able to display the vulnerability it affords her without resorting to tired tropes of people 'damaged' by their traumas and experiences. Her mental health is nuanced and it is tragic and in your face, both of which she wears almost like a badge of honour or as a tool to unsettle and shock those around her. There's something refreshing in the way she uses her diagnoses not as something to hide behind or invoke pity, but often simply matter of fact, as if to say, yes I have mental health issues, but don't let that fool you into thinking I am weak, or that I am the unhinged poster girl of crazy that society fears and attempts to shut away. 
I loved this show a lot and I am in no doubt that that enjoyment was hinged around Michaela's excellent acting and energy she brought to this production. If you haven't seen it I would highly recommend it, 5 stars!
