Shirley is a biographical movie about the life of Shirley Chisholm movie written and directed by John Ridley starring Regina King.
A schoolteacher, elected to Congress. It was the early 70s, and Shirley Chisholm was also the first African American woman to run for the Presidency of the United States. A woman who ran without any backing, representing the members of the working class, the minorities.
A movie filled with hope, faith, and feminism.
Indeed, more than a racial candidacy, Shirley Chisholm based her campaign on gender politics and minorities, paving the way for a hopeful future.
A film about faith, but above all about clear-cut American politics.
About the movie
Faith, hope, and a lot of political film of good ideas, faith, hope, and political consciousness. A movie with its good ideas well defined (we don’t deny them at any moment) and does everything possible to assert its thesis.

Thony, Arman, and Nadia are an unbeatable team.
During The Cleaning Lady Season 2 Episode 3, Thony, Arman, and Nadia teamed up to repay Arman's debt fast when Arman and Nadia hit rock bottom.
TV Fanatics Jasmine Peterson, Whitney Evans, and Laura Nowak discuss how debt affected Arman and Nadia's marriage, the fun team-up between the trio, and which character struggled most with their inner demons.
El Diablo Que Conoces means The Devil You Know. Which character struggled the most with their demons?
Jasmine: Hmm. That is a tough one to answer. I think, in a way, Arman is struggling with the reality of what making a name for himself outside of Hayak's shadow entails.
He took for granted that the same contacts and relationships he fostered over the years would serve him well, but everyone dropped him quickly because of the Feds getting involved. And that is a huge challenge that he never anticipated.

TV Fanatics Jasmine Peterson, Whitney Evans, and Laura Nowak discuss how debt affected Arman and Nadia's marriage, the fun team-up between the trio, and which character struggled most with their inner demons.
El Diablo Que Conoces means The Devil You Know. Which character struggled the most with their demons?
Jasmine: Hmm. That is a tough one to answer. I think, in a way, Arman is struggling with the reality of what making a name for himself outside of Hayak's shadow entails.
He took for granted that the same contacts and relationships he fostered over the years would serve him well, but everyone dropped him quickly because of the Feds getting involved. And that is a huge challenge that he never anticipated.

(Spoiler alert: This post discusses the entirety of “9-1-1” Season 6, Episode 3, titled “The Devil You Know.”)
Unfortunately, Athena and Bobby are not going on that cruise any time soon. In a spotlight on the “9-1-1” power couple, played by Angela Bassett and Peter Krause, Season 6’s Episode 3 delves deep into the mystery that started it all.
“The Devil You Know” uncovers what really happened to Tanya Kingston, Athena’s hometown neighbor who was kidnapped decades prior and whose unsolved disappearance led the LAPD officer on the path of becoming a cop.
“It was very surprising to open the script and see that we were going to revisit that storyline, and there was just something very satisfying in that because it was an unsolved murder and a driving force as to why Athena became a cop and how she is and who she is a person,” Bassett told TheWrap in an interview.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for 9-1-1 Season 6 Episode 3 “The Devil You Know.”] The devil can wear a familiar face and trick you with lies, Athena (Angela Bassett) knows well from her police work. But in the latest 9-1-1, she had to contend with the possibility that someone very close to her killed the young girl who disappeared from her neighborhood 45 years ago after her body is found buried under an addition to her parents’ house. “I think that it’s a beautiful story. I’m glad we told it through Athena’s perspective and through this character’s storyline about the sanctity of girls and of Black and brown girls in particular, and that they should not be forgotten. And Athena as a character has never forgotten Tanya,” Bassett told TV Insider. To Athena and her mother’s surprise, her father ended up the prime suspect. And Athena started to wonder if there was something she ...
