“My illustration tribute of #Harriet Tubman reflects the strength, courage and dedication to the freedom of not only herself but hundreds of others…The faces represent the enslaved that she freed as well as the feeling of bond and kinship that I have always shared with her through my heritage.She was a beacon of light that still shines and her legacy is one that should be celebrated. That is why I am excited to see the @HarrietFilm and seeing @cynthiaerivo depict the struggle, resilience and heroism of Harriet Tubman on the big screen.”

#Repost @instagram: It’s #GoldenGlobes weekend and we are spending the day with first-time nominee Cynthia Erivo (@cynthiaerivo), who’s portrayal of Harriet Tubman in the new film “Harriet” has earned her not one, but two nominations. But the actress and singer-songwriter is a seasoned pro when it comes to playing strong female leads — from Broadway to film and now television, she is on an unstoppable roll.
“Because of all the characters I’ve played — Celie, Harriet and now Aretha — I have been lucky enough to learn about resilience and the power of the woman and the strength within. And to learn about the fact that I’m enough, and you’re enough.” 
Head over to our story to see what the actress is up to before the @goldenglobes ... and trust us, you’ll want to listen with sound on.
