I can't tell you how many times I watched this movie. I was studying theatre at Grambling and desperately seeking monologues I could relate to. I tried over and over to pull a 5 minute monologue from Robin Givens character but it never would stretch to the required time limit for theatre competitions. Here was a group of women whose characters were developed to react to life and not compliment are implement characters of men and/or children. Treat yourself, make sure this book is in your library. Gloria Naylor's "The Women of Brewster's Place" #glorianaylor #thewomenofbrewsterplace place #womenwriters #blackwriters #americanliterature #femininenarrative #blackfemininenarrative #shechronicles

#Repost @blackcinemanow • • • • • #actressappreciation When it comes to an actress that shows emotions effortlessly, the beautiful & talented @robingivens comes to mind. Robin made her debut in the late 80s on some of our favorite sicoms like “The Cosby Show” and “Different Strokes” but soon cemented her name as an actress in “A Rage in Harlem”. Her continued career which has been blessed with longevity has shown that she is an important part in black cinema starring in not only movies like the classic “Boomerang” & “A Family That Preys”, but tv shows and popular stage plays. You can currently catch her showing off and showing up on Own’s new drama series @ambitionsown playing the feisty and fiery character Stephanie Lancaster. The character she plays really displays her acting chops, and is just fun to watch. One can hope to see more of Miss. Givens on the big and or small screen, and if she is anything like Stephanie, expect to be in for a treat. • #robingivens #actress #blackactress #wcw #stephanielancaster #boomerang #thewomenofbrewsterplace #blackcinema #ambitionsown #ambitions https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rwSgfh8mx/?igshid=b0qwaahf54vu

"The unpainted walls of the long rectangular room were soaked with the smell of greasy chicken and warm, headless beer." ~ (Wow this was one powerful and beautifully written book! I feel like I will be thinking about these characters for a long time. Thanks for another awesome reccomendation @diverseclassics. Excited for the discussion at the end of the month. Also this was a great afternoon snack.) . . . . . #diverseclassics #thewomenofbrewsterplace #glorianaylor #greasychicken #foodinliterature https://www.instagram.com/p/Byr8_OYgadC/?igshid=1ptx5r276zsdq
