ESSENCE
@Essence
The power of Sinners lives in the women who helped bring it to life.

Ruth E. Carter, Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Jayme Lawson, Wunmi Mosaku, Shunika Terry-Jennings, and Hannah Beachler shaped the film’s visual language and cultural depth. Through design, cinematography, hair, performance, and world-building, they helped reimagine Black history through horror, myth, and memory.

The results speak loudly. A box-office phenomenon. Sixteen historic Oscar nominations.

But the real impact lives deeper. These women did more than tell a story about ancestry and survival. They protected it.
Frame by frame, Sinners reminds us that when Black women create with intention, it becomes legacy.

The Women of Sinners are our 2026 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luminaries. Read more at http://ESSENCE.com.

    At the funeral of Rev. Jesse Jackson. Rep. Jones and I walk in his footsteps. Our story isn’t possible without the work, advocacy, Organizing, and struggle of Rev. Jackson. Rest in power.

    Kamala Harris: “I predicted a lot about what’s happening right now. I’m not here to say ‘I told you so,’ but we did see it coming.”

    Black people are not allowed to talk amongst themselves without white people feeling its their duty to police those conversations. The response from white people to this statement by Kamala Harris is an example. Those responses to her statement are also a glowing example of hit dogs hollering.

    White people didn’t think enough of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. to have him lie in state at the capitol like Billy Graham. They didn’t think enough of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to air his funeral on national TV.

    But they still feel its their duty to police the speeches at his funeral.

    So now White folks have expanded their saltiness to the entirety of Rev. Jesse Jackson’s celebration of life. The speakers: “Made it all about them” “Too political” “Too divisive” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Man fuck you Mayo Nation. Keep crying because we’re going to keep doing us no matter what.
