Her world isn’t black and white… it’s grey with maybe a smattering of purple.
Jessica Jones stands in the forefront of my mind when it comes to favorite heroines from the Marvel Universe. She is far from perfect; her closet has a few skeletons, she doesn’t shy away from the gritty details or getting her hands dirty when there is work to be done, and she is full of believable humanity. She tells it like it is and I admire her for her brutal honesty —even if she does occasionally hide behind a bottle, but let’s face it… everyone has a coping mechanism some way or another.

There’s so much to talk about in Black Panther, and I was so excited to chat all things Black Panther love with Robyn Warren of Geek Girl Strong and Chavon Coleman of Geeky and Creepy.
Since seeing Black Panther together opening night (along with Robyn’s mom and Chavon’s nephew), we haven’t really been able to stop talking about it. There’s just so much to say about the story and the characters and the way everything looks, and each viewing makes you notice something new.
There is so much to talk about when it comes to Black Panther, both the film itself and its impact. 90% of those things, if not more, I’m highly unqualified to talk about as a white-passing Lebanese girl. I encourage all of Sartorial Geek’s readers to look around at what the black community – especially young viewers – have to say about the film.
In the areas I do feel qualified to talk in – representation of women, depiction of “fantasy tech,” and nailing the Rule of Cool – they’re still on the ball. And I could happily write dozens of essays on everything this film did right, and all the scenes I’d point to as examples for future writers.
Team Jordandenè has been struggling to keep this awesome news quiet for weeks now. A little while back, we got to hang out at the coolest photo shoot ever: RockLove Jewelry for Marvel Studios’ Black Panther, modeled by our friend Robyn of Geek Girl Strong. Their modern take on a strong, fierce Wakandan warrior woman made for an awesome fitness-inspired photoshoot.
