(ATLANTA) – On Tuesday, November 2, 2010, almost 200 Atlantans attended a private, advanced screening of FOR COLORED GIRLS, presented by the Trust Black Women Partnership (TBW) at the Landmark Midtown Art Cinema in heart of Atlanta, GA. All proceeds from the event went to the TBW Partnership. Event highlights included red carpet arrivals, a private VIP reception, swag bags, cocktails sponsored by Conjure Cognac, and a panel discussion immediately following the movie.
Notable guests include Roger Bobb from Tyler Perry Studios, Civil Rights Leaders Joseph and Evelyn Lowery, Ambassador Andrew Young and his wife Carolyn Young, Nina Brown from the Frank and Wanda Morning Show, actress Kaira Akita, and Pamela Jackson (Former Mayor Maynard Jackson’s wife).
“With the collaboration of Lionsgate, Trust Black Women, celebrity hosts, and all of our community partners, this night was just perfect. FOR COLORED GIRLS is a poignant film based on a story and a play that we have known about for years. These issues are not taboo anymore and we must discuss them in order to uplift each other and move forward collectively. Many issues amplified in FOR COLORED GIRLS are supported by the organizations involved in the Trust Black Women Partnership. Trust Black Women is a cause that cannot be ignored and FOR COLORED GIRLS is a movie that cannot be missed.” National Coordinator of SisterSong, Loretta Ross. to see a few reviews click here to see the trailer click here
