Aja Naomi King’s Inspiring Speech on Overcoming Self-Doubt at the 2017 Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards   

My inner critic is strong but I know that I am stronger. I can’t get rid of him; he’ll always be there, a voice in my head telling me to not even dare to dream for something more, that they’ll never give you that, don’t bother fighting for this. But that is exactly what makes me so fierce. Because even with his voice, his monstrous size filling up the space underneath my skin, I still choose to try, and I still choose to believe. All the evidence of my life thus far is telling me that this is no accident, that I do deserve to be here. When I was struggling to write this speech, my little sister said to me quite simply, “You have everything you need.” And she’s right. I have everything I need because I have her, and I have my other little sister, and I have my mother, and I have my father. And I have all of you, and we all have each other. And as long as we continue to be a shield for one another, support each other, lift each other up, and love each other fiercely, we all have everything we need.

Looks fun

Nicole Beharie is a talented actress. She’s played Jackie Robinson’s wife, Rachel, in 42, had a supporting role in the critically-acclaimed Steve McQueen film, Shame, and was a fan favorite on Sleepy Hollow. Since her departure from the hit television show, fans have been waiting to see what the actress does next. Beharie is currently working on a remake of Jacob’s Ladder, but it seems in her downtime she’s been having a little fun.

In a recent video posted to YouTube, Beharie sings Drake’s “Hotline Bling” in a playful country voice. Now, we know she’s just joking around, but we would buy that album in a second. Send us that SoundCloud link, Nicole! The actress doesn’t just slay “Hotline Bling” either. There’s another video from about a year ago that includes Beharie singing Björk’s “Unravel.”

We know you’re busy, Nicole, but maybe your next project could be dropping a few tracks. It doesn’t even have to be a full-length album or original songs, we just want to hear you sing! - Essence Magazine
