The Black-ish star announced the first installment of The Zoom Where It Happens, Zoom’s series of virtual watch parties in which she’ll be joined by Sanaa Lathan, Alfre Woodard, and Regina King for “our rendition of Golden Girls, reimagined with an all-black cast of your favorite actresses.†The event hopes to “further engage our community and drive change†with attendees receiving messages on “how you can make a change during this election!â€
