Ava DuVernay Gives Beyoncé Her Flowers Following The Red Carpet Premiere Of Her ‘Renaissance’ Film!

Cousins! Award-winning director Ava DuVernay is giving Beyoncé major praise following the red carpet debut of her Renaissance movie!

Beyoncé held an exclusive world premiere for her Renaissance movie at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California on Saturday, November 25th, reports Buzzfeed.

Amongst the long list of celebrity attendees were Ava, Chloe and Halle Bailey, DDG, Tia Mowry, Gabrielle Union, Normani, Janelle Monae, Kelly Rowland, Tina Lawson, Michelle Williams, Tyler Perry, and more.

Following the highly anticipated premiere Ava reflected on Beyoncé’s director skills and the difficulties Black women often face behind the scenes within the entertainment industry.

“The woman is a director in every sense of the word and beyond,” Ava wrote. “Every decision that a director makes in the course of our work, she does brilliantly.”

Ava continues, “She talks candidly about having to fight to be heard as a Black woman leader working at a high level of difficulty. Having to endure being second-guessed often and gaslit constantly.”

“We actually see moments of this happening to her on camera. People directly doubting, shortchanging, and gaslighting her. I haven’t seen that described in a film before.”

Ava continued in expressing her gratitude of Beyoncé openly sharing her journey while also reflecting on the obstacles she’s also faced throughout her own career.

“Even though I have lots of practice with this kind of blatant disregard, it never gets easier to stomach. Neve easier to watch someone diminish themselves by their downright disregard for you,” wrote Ava.

“But sometimes knowing that someone else understands the feelings you’re feeling helps. In that way, this film helped me. I never expected to feel so seen in a concert film.”
