Black Stunt woman Appreciation
Since the news about the death of stunt woman Joi Harris on the set of Deadpool 2 I thought we should big up some of the real Black Superheros
Professional stunt double, coordinator and author since the early 90ā²s. She was Jada Pinkettās double for the Matrix. King-Devoreaux has spoken out against white stunt performers donning Blackface to double for Black actors when there are many Black performers who are capable and struggle to look for work. Ā
Actress, author and stunt performer extraordinaire. Who hasnāt the veteran and Taurus Award nominee doubled for Halle Berry, BeyoncĆ©, Gabrielle Union, Rihanna, Vivica A. Fox
Hopkins has doubled for Halle Berry in numerous films but also Kerry Washington in Scandal
Born in Essex, this single mother of 3 was a hustling a supply teacher, model and film extra. When she was on the set of Patriot Games she heard there were no Black women stunt performers in the UK. She then started training to become the first. 50 years old and still doing YAS!Ā
Howard is the go to stunt woman for our faves doubling for Danai Gurira on The Walking Dead and Angela Bassett on American Horror Story.
Independent filmaker, activist and stunt double.
Stunt woman, actress, writer, producer, and professional wrestler. WOW
She was a slayer. Nuff said. But really with skills like horse riding and martial arts Weeden has been slaying since forever.
Cheryl Lewis can do it all. Not only is she a pro stunt woman but she is a dancer, actor, aerialist, puppeteer and is trained in multiple disciplines of martial arts. She doubles for Simone Missickās Misty Knight in Luke Cage.
Started doing stunt work since 2008 and has worked on many big movies including the hunger games and Girlsā Trip
