Amirah Vann Instagram – Thrilled to be joining the amazing cast of Shirley led by the extraordinary @iamreginaking in the title role and written & directed by #JohnRidley! The feature from writer-director John Ridley tells the story of trailblazing political icon Shirley Chisholm (King)—the first Black Congresswoman and the first Black woman to run for President of the U.S.—and the cost of accomplishment for Shirley herself. It will draw on exclusive and extensive conversations with Chisholm’s family and friends, following her amidst her boundary-breaking and historic presidential campaign. #shirleychisholm #grateful
