“I have the nerve to walk my own way, however hard, in my search for reality, rather than climb upon the rattling wagon of wishful illusions.”
— Zora Neale Hurston
Fun Fact: In 1968, Diahann Carroll became the first Black woman to star in her own television series in a non-stereotypical role with the show Julia.
She played a professional nurse and single mother—breaking away from the typical maid or servant roles Black women had been confined to in media. Her performance opened doors for future generations of Black actresses to take on dynamic, leading roles.
It was more than just a role—it was a cultural shift.
