Next up in our Black Actress Canon series for Black History and Women’s History Month is the striking, commanding Karidja Touré in Girlhood (2014). At the center of Céline Sciamma’s coming-of-ager is Touré, who reflects and refracts the experiences of her always-evolving Marieme like a diamond held up to the light, illuminating the ways in which identity can be at once a prison and an escape.

Here’s why you need to catch up with this luminous acting debut.
