Smoke and Annie were and look the same age. I know you lot aren't USED to seeing dark skinned Black women as love interests (especially plus sized ones) on screen but seriously, get a fucking grip. There was NOTHING to suggest she was any grown man's mama or sister. That is called bias.

Ryan Cooglers braider, Tyzanna B, needs an Oscar for her skills

Repost from @essencegu_

A look worthy of its own award🤌🏾🔥😍

To cap off a historic awards season run, director Ryan Coogler stepped onto the red carpet at the Academy Awards with a hairstyle that doubled as a tribute to ‘Sinners.’

Crafted by his hairstylist @tyzanna, the intricate braids were shaped into a guitar and treble clef—an ode to the blues influences woven throughout the film.

And if you’ve been clocking Ryan’s pristine stitch braids all season, Tyzanna was also the artist behind his cover look for The Hollywood Reporter.

Culture showing up in every form will forever be our favorite genre. Tyzanna, the price just went UP!
