The first ever Black Sterring Awards are finally here! We've been paying attention and reckon the time has come for an awards show that doesn't just look at at blackness but centres the female gaze. With criteria rooted in our Black Sterring Test, we shine the spotlight on emotional and political complexity, characterisation, delivery, joy and ask ourselves (you guys included) how is the needle being shifted?
Join in the fun, share your sterrings and lets bicker it out in the comments section!
