“For the first time since having my kids, I felt like a whole person.”

The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) is a unique museum nestled within the Seattle Center, steps away from the Space Needle. W'Kabi's cloak was modeled after the Lesotho wedding blanket; the Dogon tribe influenced the design for M'Baku's grass skirt; Nakia's ceremonial dress nods to the Suri of Ethiopia; Princess Shuri's beaded corset comes from South Sudan's Dinka tribe; the priestly robes of Zuri were inspired by Yoruba's agbada; Queen Ramonda's crown (which, along with the shoulder mantle Angela Bassett wore, was created using a 3D printer-talk about weaving technology with African culture!) paid homage to the Zulu. [...]the Black Panther suit itself: even though the design already existed from the comic books, Carter was still able to give it a stamp of Afrofuturism with a raised-triangle motif, because the triangle is \"the sacred geometry of Africa\" and ensures T'Challa is recognizable not only as a superhero but as an African king.

This article theorizes the relevance of the shout-out, a public expression of appreciation, as an African American cultural tradition and explores how Black actresses intentionally use shout-outs in awards show speeches to acknowledge each other's work and to collectively rearticulate ideological understandings of Black womanhood. In tracing the explicit ways that Black actresses use shout-outs, this study examines the interconnections among Black actresses in Hollywood, revealing what they say to and about each other and the larger meanings implicit in these conversations as they relate to broader issues of African American representation. Focusing specifically on Black-themed awards shows, I argue that Black actresses cultivate their own spaces and create room for themselves to celebrate and shout out each other and each other's work, forming a sisterhood that thrives on mentorship and empowerment, thus creating a legacy and an alternative archive of Black women's accomplishments on-screen.
