Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival is officially underway, and I kicked things off in the best way possible: at the C-Suite Luncheon, celebrating legacy and joy in a room full of extraordinary women.
The guest list read like a who’s who of women doing the work, including LeToya Luckett, LaToya S. Evans, Megan Bailey, Joy-Ann Reid, and more. Guests were treated to the wisdom of the incomparable Phylicia Rashad, who spoke on the importance of staying enthusiastic about art and work, a reminder that landed with everyone in the room.
A special thank you to Femelle Collective and LaToya S. Evans for making sure I had a seat at the table.
For the occasion, I wore a look combining Andrea Iyamah, Maison Alaïa, and 12PM Studios.
Stay tuned for more from Martha’s Vineyard Style and continued coverage throughout Martha’s Vineyard.
