“[…] I wouldn’t be standing here if it weren’t for my sisters and I have to thank those sisters who are in the room. Sonequa Martin Green, Edwina Finley, Susan Kelechi Watson, Catherine Kimmel, Lupita Nyong’o. You are the women that I have been able to be vulnerable with, to seek counsel from, to break all the way down with, to pray with, to be prayed for, to share frustrations, pains, fears, joys and praise reports. You have spoken words into my life that transformed me, cleansed me, guided me, anointed me, reminded me of who I am, help me edge towards my destiny. Thank you for your sister girl magic.” - From Danai Gurira’s 2018 Essence Black Women in Hollywood acceptance speech. 💞💕💞#HappyInternationalWomensDay

Danai Gurira Pens a Love Letter to 'Sinners': "Stop Trying to Categorize It" hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-f…

“Ten years ago today I founded #loveourgirls stating: ‘I have always had a passion for women and girls, a hope to see them function on the same playing field as men and have the same opportunities and appropriate protections. I want to be more than an actress and storyteller but an advocate for women, not only in underdeveloped countries but all over the world.’” - Danai Gurira 💖

“[…] my father named me Danai, in commemoration of my birth on this day of love and romance; Danai, in our native tongue, Shona, means to be in love or to love one another.” - Danai Gurira #HBD 🤍❤️
