Beyoncé, Draya, Malinda Williams: African American women’s image dilemma

Yes, we have first lady Michelle Obama, who epitomizes the real value of African American women and their role in protecting our culture. But, African American women’s attire, on and off the silver screen, seems to contradict the true elegance that can be seen as women, mothers and wives make their way daily to provide for their families with dignity and grace.


Draya embodies the traditional stereotypes of beauty in the age of reality TV. Malinda Williams, a beautiful television and film veteran, is working on her Oscar-worthy role. We await the day when women like Beyoncé, Malinda and Draya will be called on by Hollywood’s powerful producers, like the Weinsteins, and a powerful director to play opposite Don Cheadle, Denzel Washington and Laz Alonso in a $50 million film.
