Beautiful Black Queen: 12 Times DeWanda Wise Had Us Mesmerized

She’s Gotta Have It hits Netflix in a little over one week, and we’re excited to see DeWanda Wise work her magic as Nola Darling in the Spike Lee joint. This season follows the brown-skinned, box-braided beauty as she deepens her relationship with Opal and begins to find her true potential as a multifaceted artist. The weather is warming up and it seems Nola Darling is ready to play… “My vision for the summer is to create like I’ve never created, to be the best partner to my partner that I can be… to get that shmoney!” she declares in a first look at what’s to come next season. Check out the official trailer up top. To top off the impending Island vibes in She’s Gotta Have It, DeWanda currently stars in Netflix Original Someone Great, alongside Gina Rodriguez and Brittany Snow, playing a lesbian commitment phobe. We don’t know about y’all, but we’re obsessed with the Black, talented queen, whose beauty quite frankly speaks for itself…
