Hearing that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting — the federal arm of public media — has voted to close due to government defunding felt like a gut punch. PBS has been home to programming centered on Black Americana, from Finding Your Roots with Louis Henry Gates Jr. to documentaries that have brought our history to […]
It’s all in the title: They Will Kill You. The horror film dropped its trailer with Zazie Beetz starring as a newly hired maid who scores a job at The Virgil — a creepy old building, one that would make any New Yorker rush past its heavily gilded doors. And then there’s that pesky pentagram […]

“My mother’s been telling me since the beginning that I was excellent,” Skye P. Marshall shared with EBONY at the 8th Annual Celebration for Black Cinema & TV red carpet last month. “This is confirmation that my work has caught up with who I always was.” The 44-year-old actress wrapped up a dream year in […]
