Angela Bassett got her start at School of Drama at Yale and even started a program there called FOLKS in the 1980s for aspiring Black artists. The “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star gets surprised when two recent graduates join her live to thank her for creating a space for them.

Angela Bassett's acting is just next-level. I would feel so honored to be in her program.

Wow, that was better than any Oscar tribute!

@SOI-wl2lo Год назад

Honestly!

@chimcham6762 Год назад

This is what leaving a legacy and being a trailblazer looks like. I am not even an artist and i look up to her as an example of what talent, aspiration, inspiration, hard work and consistency looks like. The young women are also well on their way to creating their own legacies. This is also what giving back to your community and being exalted for it looks like. We need the guidance of our elders and we as the young generation need to pay our respects and dues to them for the path they have laid for us much like these young women are doing. In the words of the great Chadwick Boseman, "to be young, gifted and black"!

Young Gifted and Black is a song by Nina Simone from the 70s.

@alimaberko6161 Год назад

Well after being robed for an oscar for her immense talent playing Tina Turner " what love got to do with it" She is still by far one the best actress ever, period.

@yolistew289 Год назад

I couldn't agree more!! ❤

@valdanoble1085 Год назад

I couldn’t have said it better. I don’t watch the Oscars but I did when she was nominated. They gave it to Jodie Foster for that stupid movie the pianist and to make it worst she didn’t say a word. To this day I’m still incandescent with rage.

@elfredawright Год назад

"...She is simply the best, better than all the rest."😊

@monicahaynes8033 Год назад

Yes, I agree. She and Mr. Fishburne should have received Oscars. I can’t even remember who won that year. But the Academy has robbed any number of people of their rightful awards.

@anthonygardner400 Год назад

There is no one like Angela. A class act to her core.

@notmebutyou8350 Год назад

She sure is!!

She looks gorgeous and always so elegant. One of my favorite actresses always.

@noble604 Год назад

It was at Yale Drama School where Angela met her now husband, Courtney B. Vance, who, btw, also graduated from the Drama School. Yep - two Yale Drama School alumni in that family.

@tressanallenmartin9336 Год назад

Angela Bassett gave women and black skin brown skin Latino and all folks like us voices I’m so proud and humbled by her strength and her courage

@t.e.burgos3263 Год назад

I am so in awe of Angela Bassett. She just exudes so much strength and power and kindness, and she is an amazing actress of course. Her committment to other artists and to black and brown folks is amazing, and I wish her a loooong life and continued success. I am not even a black woman, but I feel so connected to who she is and to what she does (and why she does it). BTW, the only reason I mention me not being a black woman is to illuminate the fact that despite me having those superficial "differences" from who she is, I can still relate to this queen and admire her with deep respect and love.

@victoriakenney2848 Год назад

She is so beautiful to me. How she carries herself, how she speaks, her mannerism, her smile… she is the embodiment of powerful black woman. Man!

Ms. Angela Bassett is such a leader and a true queen changing so many lives. The younger actress in blue is amazing. She's on the show City on the Hill go check her out guys.

@ToDaMaxxx Год назад

She really doesn't realize how much our culture views her as our GOAT as our Meryl Streep. As our Queen Of All Time. She is so highly respected by her own in a sea of disrespect amongst the main stream. She is a special actress. She made it look more like art
