SUMMERTIME SCREEN GEMS
In “What We’re Watching This Summer” (June 2019), we offered the upcoming films and returning TV shows that are on the
top of our must-see list for this season. You tweeted us which of these premieres you most anticipated watching.

HERE’S

LOOKING

AT YO U
We picked three of our
favorites from posts
you shared using our
hashtags on Instagram.

Wise women always uplift and inspire. I

thank you for “Into the Light” (June 2019).

It is much needed for some of us strong

women who sometimes feel as if we’re too

demanding or are too much or whose

standards are too high.

—Hlengie Ndaba via Facebook

Alicia Keys, you never stop showing up,

showing out and showing us how beauti-

ful you are.

—Christa Thompson via Facebook

Alicia, thank you for being so real. What a

fantastic role model you are. I love your raw

beauty. It helps me to appreciate mine.
