Thursday ESSENCE Magazine celebrated their 13th annual Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon, honoring actresses Lashana Lynch and Niecy Nash, director Melina Matsoukas and the cast and creator of the FX hit show “POSE”. BOSSIP was in the building as a guest of presenting sponsor Ford and we can truly say the event was a black girl magical one.

Some of our favorite faces graced the place, including the beautiful and talented Storm Reid — who reunited with her “When They See Us” director Ava Duvernay. Duvernay did the honors of presenting Niecy Nash with her award.
