Bill Duke, Director and Executive Producer for the Film “DARK GIRLS”

(Hollywood, CA) NAACP Image Awards Nominee luncheon was held on Saturday, February 8, at the Loews Hollywood Hotel, Hollywood, CA. In attendance was extraordinarily  talented director, Bill Duke. Duke is the director/producer of DARK GIRLS, which is nominated  for an NAACP Image Award for outstanding documentary-Televsion (OWN).  The controversial film  goes underneath the surface to explore the prejudices dark-skinned women face throughout the world. It explores the roots of classism, racism and the lack of self-esteem within a segment of cultures.

The Chocolate Voice caught a glimpse of Bill Duke’s interview with a young aspiring journalist, Jaheem Toombs of FTS Kids News.
