Danai Gurira says she's moved by global impact of 'Black Panther'

The actress opens up about her role in the new movie live on "GMA."

[@thedentinrmschin6584]

*As a black woman, It's so great to see BEAUTIFUL dark skin women getting GREAT representation!!*

[@CandaceShanise]

Why can’t she just be a beautiful women? Why does the obvious need to be pointed out? Think it’s time that we as black women stop with all the light skin dark skin stuff. This woman would be beautiful no matter the hue of her skin. She’s gorgeous, talented, sweet, classy and brilliant, period!

[@salmon-productions]

TheDent InRm'sChin for sure

[@menaj2954]

Not only is he a beauty she is smart, and articulate. This is black excellence. Wakanda forever, Africa forever. I am so proud to be black.

[@peternt2008]

Why hasnt Wakanda helped Cape Town because they have run out of water ?

[@sankaragarvey5862]

peter neagle a why hasn't captain america help u.s ,they are massacring their children in school with their 2nd amendment right, and they are also running out of water in California or let's not forget flint led poisoning.and the suicide rate ,opiod addictions.. I could go on

[@peternt2008]

Because normal people know Captain America is make believe and is a fictional character. The way people are all talking about The Black Panther and Wakanda they act as though it is all real .

[@sonyapeach]

peter neagle you are an idiot. Just do yourself a solid and stop talking. Or don't and continue to be an idiot

[@sandrallewellyn2632]

peter neagle how does excitement over panafrican cultural representation the same as confusing fiction and reality? I'm sure you don't criticize all the Harry Potter fans out there cosplaying and waiting on acceptance letters from Hogwarts. As the kids say these days, have SEVERAL seats!

[@zan752000]

This woman needs a makeup campaign, that skin is beautiful.

[@Neeshpeesh123]

When she threw that wig honey!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@SpeEDTeacher4Christ]

Yesssss

[@InfiniteUmbra]

[@kinglord318]

That was meant to be an insult to American black women who wore wigs and weaves on their hair

[@seansartor]

Finally !!! We are fully appreciating our SISTHAS' beauty & depth !!!!

[@drislady]

Danai's character Okoye was my favorite in Black Panther!

[@kimbronson3520]

I love her. She is so dynamic in the movie. What an inspiration to ALL women!!

[@hpa2005]

At the risk of sounding foolish she reminds me of Olivia de Havilland as Maid Marian in 1938s "The Adventures of Robin Hood"

[@lorettayoung3088]

OMG I have tears in my eyes. Everything she said was on point and so true

[@studmalexy]

in South Africa they murder white farmers. then they don't even "produce" on their land afterwards.....they are just jealous that someone else has "more" than them but they are not willing to create "more" for themselves(even when they have every available opportunity to do so).

[@johnny05100]

She was awesome in the movie

[@salmon-productions]

johnny05100 yh

[@salmon-productions]

Still I Rise sure is

[@dace3783]

I was so inspired by the women in this movie, it motivated me to finally take the big step and shave all my hair. Now, I feel empowered because I have beautiful women like her to look up to. Wish me luck on this new journey! :) Side note: I love Danai Gurira on The Walking Dead too!

[@Superguy2060]

[@gettauttraining60]

Rock that!

[@dace3783]

Get Taut Training, thank you and I will!

[@dace3783]

Superguy2060, I had been planing to do it for the longest anyways, just didnt have the balls to at first lol

[@MichelMawon4982]

DivineAce Good luck! I know just what you're dealing with. I didn't go bald, but almost lol. Having had long hair my whole life and living in an area of the world where most women (of any race) either add hair or wear wigs because short hair is so unacceptable for those of us without a silky hair texture, the stares of "look throughs" are real, but luckily I did it at a time where I care lesd about what others think of me.

[@FlashOneFilms]

she so pretty!! I love black Women

[@vamanosninja4143]

Awesome you bought tickets for others! :D

[@mcclendonreport]

Since I was a child, my parents would always pay close attention to "black spokespersons" always hoping that they would say things that would elevate us. Danai elevates us.

[@angelaglenn4able]

Danai is the reason I'm obsessed with TWD (The Walking Dead), she's very powerful in that show as well. However, she has taken Black Panther to a whole other level and we enjoyed every moment of this film. Expectations exceeded!

[@zimmixer4758]

So proud of you Danai... with love from Zimbabwe

[@nonabritton8521]

Fabulous Danai

[@LexDime]

Every second she spoke was so POWERFUL 🙌

[@ZaraAllegra]

God, I love her character! one of the most unforgettable ones in the film. so fierce!

[@essji2024]

I love DANAI and LUPITA because they are gorgeous, beautiful black women who wear their hair natural!!!! WHY? because........only a strong and confident, secure woman can rock a bald head or short hair amidst the socially acceptable norm that 'straight hair' is the epitome of beauty! Do your history folks..........ethnic cultures are the victims of racism and colorism derived from colonization. This is deeply ingrained within all our institutions which further purports and promotes white culture as superior above all others. There is not one standard or style of beauty.......embrace WHO you are! be unapologetic about it too! #B_U!
