The movie and soundtrack jumped to instant classic status. Talk about ubiquitous.
I had so much fun revisiting the movie Waiting to Exhale and its impact, which might be even bigger than you remember, for NPR.
30 years later, 'Waiting to Exhale' endures

30 years ago, 'Waiting to Exhale' was the blockbuster Hollywood didn't anticipate
The 1995 adaptation of Terry McMillan's novel celebrated the beauty of Black sisterhood.

I remember the buzz surrounding Waiting to Exhale. Opening day the line was wrapped around the block for a matinee. After the credits finished we stood up and saw Magic Johnson sitting a few rows back.

Holy shit!
On the morning of the Delaney Hall confrontation, an ICE thug who would shove @replamonica.bsky.social later in the day used a racial slur.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.

Making fun of fascists is a vital part of depowering fascism.
It takes away their own self importance.

Please take screenshots of your new ACA marketplace costs and post them if they jumped. We need the #receipts 📈🧾
It's quaint to talk about inflation reports and surprising softness on the margins when in 13 days the out-of-pocket cost of health insurance is going to rise for 26 million households by an average of 75%

How the Trump Administration Is Quietly Resegregating the American Workforce
The Justice Department’s rollback of disparate impact is just one new policy that makes it harder for people of color to challenge illegal discrimination.
