I said this in a BOAN thread but she is really going to regret doing that. Her career was kind of stagnant up until the last year or so. BET gave her a show, she flipped on them and is suing them. Nate tossed her a bone in that movie cause her role wasn't really that significant, she flipped on him and tossed him under the bus. Wouldn't be shocked since she is kind of backtracking if she ain't starting to miss out on roles. Directors probably feeling they can't trust her and with all the dirt in Hollywood, I'm sure they don't want someone with loose lips talking too much.

1. Either she tried to make a move to boost her career
2. Or someone got into her ear.
3. Or maybe it was both :wow:

Yea wouldn't be surprised if BET cancels her show. And we all know how hard it is out here for a black actress. Take that and add that fact that she went against the director of the movie. Very bad look...



I expect to see more people backtrack or just disappear off the scene in the coming year

Yep and one was in BOAN. Aja Naomi King did a good job in her role as Cherry. Looked up to see if she went at Nate and it looks like either she is on code or at least smart enough to know that ain't a good look sabotaging your own film before it comes out. Hopefully she don't get blackballed for just being apart of it.

Black-Led Movement Fund
Background


The Black-Led Movement Fund (BLMF), led by Borealis Philanthropy, is a collaborative and pooled donor fund established by the Ford Foundation and Anonymous Donors. In partnership with donors and activists, the BLMF aims to support philanthropic and field-building activities that strengthen the next generation of social justice leaders. Specifically, the collaborative effort supports the infrastructure, innovation and dynamism of intersectional Black-led organizing that have become integral components of what many call the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL).


The BLMF’s strategy is supported by two other components: the first is the Blackprint Strategy, a collaborative process underway to identify movement needs and resource priorities to bring $100 million in new resources to the Movement for Black Lives. The Movement Strategy Center’s Blueprint Philanthropies Project is facilitating this effort. The second component is the BLMF Organizational Development Initiative supported by Benedict Consulting and focused on supporting the organizational capacity building needs of a rapidly growing movement.


What We Support
The BLMF provides grants, movement building resources, and technical assistance to organizations working advance the leadership and vision of young, Black, queer, feminists and immigrant leaders who are shaping and leading a national conversation about criminalization, policing and race in America.



The BLMF does not currently accept unsolicited requests for support.



How to Support the Fund & Movement At-Large


The Movement for Black Lives needs significant long-term and large scale investment to advance the deep social change that is underway in our country.


If you are a foundation or a donor interested in learning about how you can make a contribution to the BLMF or become a partner in the fund, please fill out this contact form and someone from our team will get back to you.


If you are an individual seeking to support this important work, we encourage you to consider donating directly to the Movement for Black Lives Fund (M4BL Fund), one or more of our grantees or other groups this list of Black-Led racial justice organizations.

National

Blackbird emerged from the first 100 days of turmoil and action in response to the murder of Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO. As early as the second week of community uprisings, Blackbird helped create the conditions for collaboration among a crowded (yet divided) field of organizations and emerging leaders through the use of a coordination table. Our team helped establish the importance of developing collaborative spaces as the center of organizing during and after crisis moments and helped match intense protests at sites of decision making with methodical base building in working class Black communities. Currently, the project provides creative and strategic support in key regions through rapid response—plugging a critical gap in resources available to these formations and groups. Our rapid response model does not seek to create momentum where it does not exist, but rather follows the energy generated by local organizers.
