She is best known for her television role as Sasha Williams on The Walking Dead. She currently plays Michael Burnham, the lead role in the web television series Star Trek: Discovery.
Star Trek: Discovery’s Sonequa Martin-Green became the first Black woman to be a lead in the iconic sci-fi series in its 53-year history. For the Essence shoot ,she is slaying Kimora Lee Simmons collection.
In ESSENCE’s latest digital story, written by TV and film critic Candice Frederick (@ReelTalker), Martin-Green shares that she hopes her history-making role will help others become familiar with Black women in power, including her own son, Kenric II, with husband, actor Kenric Green.
“There’s misogyny and racism everywhere. My husband and I can’t help what our son comes across. But we present him with images and messaging that will at least negate what he sees,” Martin-Green explains.
“That’s why I thank God for this role because it is something I can point to and say, ‘Hey, look at this. It’s Mommy, but it’s also a Black woman saving the world and being a genius,’” she adds.
The digital cover, which was photographed by Derek Reed, is available now.

NEW COVER ALERT...! Elated to be on the March Digital Cover for @essence ♥️ Man my breath caught when I laid eyes on this. I grew up with this magazine!

Thank you for your commitment to Black excellence all these years. Excited for the next chapter in your story... #EssenceDoesDigital #loveandrespect
