Nappily Ever After Advanced Screening at The Wing SoHo — Photos!

Nappily Ever After Advanced Screening at The Wing SoHo — Photos!

On Monday at The Wing SoHo, we had the honor of hosting an advanced screening of Nappily Ever After — the new movie featuring goddesses Sanaa Lathan and Lynn Whitfield — in partnership with Netflix’s Strong Black Lead. The feeling of sisterhood in the room was palpable as attendees, laughed, cried and shouted, “Girllll, leave him!” at the screen in unison; connected by the shared, unique experience of Black womanhood. It was truly a special moment in time.

Our screening was followed by a conversation with Sanaa, Ms. Whitfield, the film’s producer and director, Tracey Bing and Haifaa al-Mansour (a.k.a. Saudi Arabia’s first female filmmaker!); moderated by our Editor-In-Chief, Lindsey Day. If you weren’t in the room with us, we promise you wish you were!

If you were in the building, you’re likely still coming down from the evening’s high. Grab your photos below and be sure to tag #NappilyEverAfter, @strongblacklead and @crwnmag on social so we can re-post!

And of course, make sure you watch (and re-watch) Nappily Ever After on Netflix, streaming today!!!
