Marvel’s Black Panther is Unapologetically Black
I was invited to the Black Panther European Premier in London. Words barely can explain how exciting this was. If you saw the US Premier you saw the stars on the red carpet in extravagant African garments. This event had no red carpet and was more of an intimate and private screening with the Director Ryan Coogler and many of the cast to include Chadwick Boseman, Michael B.

Watch the latest trailer here! Seeing this film has given me and many other African-Americans so much life.
