If you don’t know who Jeff and Nicole Friday are — GET FAMILIAR! These two are Black Hollywood VIPs for a great reason. ABFF is THEE festival where all the diverse projects being made by your favorite established and rising black talent can be showcased. They’re doing amazing work and even more they are highlighting other people doing great work. Gotta love people who do things not just for their own good but also the GREATER good.
