The Black Girl's Guide: 7 Things to See, Do, and Hear This Week

We've got your covered on what to watch, hear, and support this week. From Tamia's new album to the return of "Orange is the New Black" and the Apollo's Women of the World Festival.

By Taylor Lewis · Updated October 27, 2020
01
Listen to Tamia’s New Album, ‘Love Life’

Buy it here.

We’ve all been jamming to “Sandwich and a Soda” ever since it came out earlier this year, and now we have 10 other songs to go along with it. Her new album, Love Life, just dropped, and if we didn’t already know that she was a seasoned R&B veteran, we definitely know it now.

Watch ‘Orange is the New Black’

Your favorite Litchfield prisoners are back for round 3, and this season is guaranteed to be hotter than ever. Orange is the New Black returns to Netflix tomorrow, where we’ll be reunited with Sophia, Suzanne “Crazy Eyes,” Taystee, Poussey and all of our other incarcerated girlfriends (and our ESSENCE covergirls!). Happy binging! 

Watch it here.

Check Out the Apollo Women of the World Festival

Buy your tickets here.

Calling all ladies! Harlem’s famed Apollo theater is hosting the Women of the World festival. Stop by the festival from Thursday, June 11 to Sunday, June 14, to check out panels, performances and mentoring sessions to discuss issues that women worldwide face on a daily basis. Featuring speakers like Iyanla Vanzant, Michelle Williams, Naomie Wolf, Anegla Simmons, Leymah Gbowee and Macy Gray, you don’t want to miss this empowering event!

See Rain Pryor’s One-Woman Play

Buy your tickets here.

The ultra-talented daughter of Richard Pryor is on her way to a Harlem stage. Rain Pryor is gearing up to produce and star in her own one-woman autobiographical show, “Fried Chicken & Latkes,” at Harlem’s National Black Theatre. The production, which runs through June 28, will feature the comedienne portraying 11 of the most influential figures in her life. It’s guaranteed to be hilarious!

Listen to The Weeknd’s ‘Can’t Feel My Face’

Listen here!

Once upon a time, we fell in love with The Weeknd’s sexy vocals, and his new song, “Can’t Feel My Face,” will make you fall in love all over again. The new track has more of a dance feel that some of his other hits, and we can’t stop jamming to it.

06
Watch Erica Campbell’s ‘I Luh God’ Music Video

Watch it here.

We guarantee you that this song will be stuck in your head after watching this music video, but we don’t mind one bit! Erica Campbell dropped her trap gospel song “I Luh God” earlier this spring, but we finally have a music video to go along with it! Believe us: You won’t be disappointed.
