When the daily onslaught of white supremacy gets to be too much, remember the words @ava shared with @msmelina, “Don’t let them steal your joy.” #BlackWomenInHollywood

Even @IssaRae knows what it feels like to be the “ugly friend” 😂 Her intro for her good friend @msmelina was one of the highlights of #BlackWomenInHollywood this year.
