The Cast Of ‘The Woman King’ Graces The New Digital Cover Of Essence Magazine

'The new King is a Black Woman'

The ESSENCE of sisterhood is displayed in the new September digital cover of Essence Magazine with the cast of soon to be box office hit movie ‘The Woman King’. The cover features veteran actress Viola Davis, Lashana Lynch, South African break out actress Thuso Mbedu, Sheila Atim, and Adrienne Warren. The cover is more proof that the power of community and loving with intent prevails in every Kingdom.

“Our togetherness is resistance. We are so much stronger together. I didn’t know I had sisters in places. That’s how it felt being on this set. My sisters have multiplied. And the beauty in that, and the beauty in what we have learned from each other because of our individual lived experiences, and the beauty that we present when we come together, we present what the world has never seen before. Everything else out there, loves to divide us, because if you divide us, then you can conquer us. Try to penetrate us. You won’t because we have been through so much, and because in each and every way, we’re not superheroes, we’re actually warriors. We’re Black women.” — @adriennelwarren tells Essence Magazine
