rad creative of the day: meshell ndegeocello joins forces with ava duvernay as composer for duvernay’s new series ‘queen sugar’

July 18, 2016

In wake of it’s pilot release at the Essence Music Festival earlier this month, ‘Queen Sugar’- the new dramatic series from Ava DuVernay and Oprah- has been gathering national attention. It’s most recent spark though, has been in response to DuVernay’s excited announcement of the show’s composer: Meshell Ndegeocello. The critically acclaimed and 10-time Grammy nominated musician is the cherry on top of this black female- driven production. ‘Queen Sugar’ is set to premiere on OWN as a two-day event September 6th & 7th, airing regularly Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Ndegeocello’s musical genius will only nurture the anticipated series and add yet another layer of richness to it’s subject matter. Check out more on ‘Queen Sugar’ and Meshell Ndegeocello’s input below.
