ESSENCE'S 2015 Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon

Black Actresses Attend “Oscar’s Sistahs Soiree” & ESSENCE’S Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon

Even the Oscars are so white that they practically whitewashed the whole ceremony, a bevy of black creatives are taking time out to celebrate each other’s achievements in Hollywood.

On Wednesday Aflre Woodard and a number of her colleagues honored director Ava DuVernay and actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw at the annual “Oscar’s Sistahs Soiree.”

Guests included Kerry Washington…

and a post twins having Zoe Saldana.

In addition to Alfre’s celebration, several actresses are currently flooding Los Angeles today for ESSENCE’s swanky Black Women In Hollywood luncheon.

The annual affair is bringing out a gaggle of gorgeous ladies including Oprah Winfrey and Karen Civil…

as well as Kelly Rowland, Jeanette Jenkins and Jurnee Smollett.

Other guests currently enjoying the festivities include Tika Sumpter, Shonda Rhimes and the cast of “Orange Is The New Black.”

Black girls really do rock.
