Urban One’s HelloBeautiful.com, a digital content property owned by iONE Digital, has released its Black History Month cover featuring actress and singer Patina Miller. In this new cover story, Miller speaks on her feelings about Power Book III: Raising Kanan coming to an end, and the character <a href="she portrays on television, Raquel "Raq" Thomas.
“It’s important for women to see themselves as bosses, women to see themselves as beautiful,” Miller told HelloBeautiful. “Those things can coexist, and you can do both, women, do it all the time.”
While speaking with journalist Keyaira Boone, the actress gave us insight into the impact of being a dark-skinned actress and the positive effect it’s had on other women and the importance of representing other women.
“I get people in my DMs all the time, women who say, thank you for representing for the chocolate girls,” Miller told HelloBeautiful.
While discussing representation, Miller also spoke about the significance of telling the stories of Black Women.
“I’m trying to think about what stories can I tell. How can I move the needle in my own way?” Miller continued. “I don’t necessarily want to tell the stories that have already been told; it’s time for us to sort of do different things.”
