...#madamsultewan #nelliecrawford who was the first #blackactress to sign a film contract and be a featured performer. Born in 1873 (!!!) and the daughter of slaves, she started in the stage on the East Coast and then headed to Hollywood to pursue her dreams. Appearing in both of the #dwgriffith controversial films #birthofanation and his follow up film “Intolerance” she cemented herself as a character actress, appearing before some of the then best directors in Hollywood. The Gish sisters, Gloria Swanson, yet due to her race was often uncredited and her roles limited to domestics or characters of a nature that Hollywood rules had implemented for non-Caucasian actors. But she’s an important part of #womenshistory #womenshistorymonth #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #blackhollywood “We never did discover the origin of her name. No one was bold enough to ask.”-Lillian Gish

...When everyone is going one way, I chose to go the other. I don’t like standing still," Najah Bazzy

While many recognize Bazzy for her roles as a humanitarian and interfaith leader, there's so much more to her than that.

Born in southeast Michigan, Bazzy’s career began after she earned her nursing degree from Madonna University. From there, she spent over three decades working in critical care and transcultural nursing, drawing from her personal experiences as a child to help those in need.

Bazzy has served as CEO of Diversity Specialists and an adjunct professor at Michigan State University’s Institute of International Health and also co-founded the Young Muslim Association, where she still serves as a senior adviser for the organization.

She is widely regarded as a leader in Muslim healthcare and ethics and has drawn from her personal experiences to provide diversity and transcultural trainings to the United States Army, the United States Department of Justice, the International Red Cross and more.

Bazzy also founded and serves as CEO of Zaman International, a needs-based organization that helps households meet their basic needs, breaking the cycle of poverty by providing food, clothing, shelter and more to women, children, seniors and the terminally ill.

Bazzy, who has drawn on her life experiences to stand for justice and help those in need with love and compassion, has been selected as the Michigan honoree for USA TODAY's Women of the Year.
