ANDREA LEWIS - The Evolution of Black Beauty

Andrea Lewis is here to advocate for our hair, our skin, and our beauty, not to mention our economic power in the beauty industry. Lewis is a Filmmaker and Actress who developed a six-part documentary for us. There have been ongoing topics about black entertainers not having the adequate support to fit our needs on set and although the industry is slowly "changing", documentaries like The Black Beauty Effect aims to keep the trajectory moving forward.  The Black Beauty Effect follows the evolution, revolution, and disruption taking place within the realm of beauty. Each hour-long episode will examine a different aspect of the industry – hair, skin, and makeup – through the lens of some of the beauty's most notable game-changers.

Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese caused a media frenzy after their infamous “you can’t see me” exchange in the 2023 NCAA championship game. There was a fierce debate over their perceived rivalry and it only intensified once they became the hottest prospects in the WNBA's rookie class. 
The media’s fixation on their so-called rivalry has been fueled by the same gender and racial bias that has haunted women’s sports for generations. And now that Clark and Reese have brought thousands of new fans to the sport, is it safe to say that this storyline is what the WNBA needed?  Or has it invited toxicity into a space that has always prided itself on its inclusivity and sisterhood?
In this groundbreaking series, Cari Champion searches for answers from those who know Clark and Reese best – from the coaches who helped shape their game, to the players and journalists who have witnessed their meteoric rise first-hand. Champion traces the incredible parallel paths of not just these two historic talents but the WNBA itself, and sets the stage for the collision course that has brought us to this very moment. The Making of a Rivalry: Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese is not just about two of the brightest flames the sport has ever seen, but it also asks an essential question – in a time of such divisiveness, is it possible to let greatness unite us?
