📎 COMMENTS 👀 ☝️👆👈👉✍️🤳 DROP YOUR OPINIONS35 years ago today, #TheColorPurple premiered. I’ve never wanted anything in my life more than I wanted to be in that movie. When I read the book the first time, I bought copies to hand them out to people. I told everyone I wanted to be in the movie. It was that deep. And one faithful morning, @quincyjones saw me on AM Chicago, said I should audition, and the rest is movie history! So here’s to the powerful messages I still carry from that movie. And for all the moviegoers who still recite this scene to me until this day!
The Color Purple is available at participating digital retailers.
