Shug Avery was really out here with a husband, a girlfriend, and an old lover.

Miss Sofia lost so many years with her children, she barely knew them.

Mister really believed he would be Shug’s choice.
Celie had no idea if she’d ever see Nettie—or her children—again.

Nettie. Celie. Sofia. Mister. Shug.

Alice Walker's words. Steven Spielberg's interpretation.

This story has never been easy. And even 40 years later, it still isn’t. The layers of misogyny, Black masculinity, generational trauma, broken family systems, and abuse don’t soften with time—the conversation stays heavy.

But The Color Purple is an American classic. An Oscar-nominated film that gave us unforgettable scenes and dialogue—moments that find humor in pain and offer comfort in the middle of anger.

From the pages of the book to the screen (twice) and the Broadway stage, this story has lived, evolved, and endured.

Join us as we run it back and unpack the 1985 film that still reminds us that mainstream awards aren't for us because THIS film deserved an Oscar or ten. The Color Purple.

Ryan Coogler. Michael B. Jordan. Sinners. Hamnet. One Battle After Another. The wins that made us cry. The losses that made us cuss.

The desire to want a seat at the table that wasn't built for us...

Join us as we recap the 98th Academy Awards. We're talking winners and disappointments and why it's so hard for the Black community to still accept the outcome that we predicted would happen anyway...
