The Women’s History Blacktress Moment PSA Series
celebrates majestic female trailblazers in the arts
The Women’s
History Blacktress Moment PSA 1 featuring creator, actress, singer and dancer
Judith Franklin, Kandice Arrington (actress/singer/dancer) Tina Fears (actress/singer/dancer), and
Xylina Stamper (actress/singer/dancer) is a reminder of women’s strength and
ingenuity. March is Women’s History
Month and Judith Franklin, the brainchild of the 4-part PSA series, delivers an
educational and empowering tribute to her predecessors. Each PSA highlights a different trailblazer who
has contributed greatly to the arts. As director and executive producer of the
PSA series, Judith
does
her part to emphasize the stories of accomplished, courageous, and fascinating
women who have contributed greatly to the arts yet receive less fanfare than
others.
Over
the past year, Judith researched Black Women in the Arts and discovered that
some of the most incredible stories belonged to creative women she had yet to
discover. Most recently, Judith drew inspiration from her research while
touring the United States in Tyler Perry’s “Madea on the Run” as lead character
Netta. While expressing his gratitude to the audience after one of the shows,
Perry encouraged all to continue to follow their dreams and “Create”. Echoing
loud and clear, immediately after her final tour performance, Judith decided
that it was time to get these riveting stories into the minds of the masses and
“Create”. By enlisting her close friends, each a talented performer in her own
right, Judith was well on her way to paying homage to the greats that
influenced her.
“I
think it’s imperative that my peers and performers around the world become
familiar with these brilliant yet unsung trailblazers. There are so many
exemplary performers that get lost in the shuffle. Their matchless
accomplishments, despite the odds, are nothing short of prodigious. They should
be celebrated. It’s inspiring and empowering. These women are majestic.”
