Hollywood actress Kimberly Elise’s iconic roles have sealed her reputation as a powerful on screen presence and relatable leading lady, whether she was making a gun-toting, bank-robbing, against-the-odds shot at escaping the ‘hood in Set It Off, believing in love again after an abusive relationship in Diary of a Man Black Woman, or fighting for her sick child as the wife of Denzel Washington’s title character in John Q.
And when it comes to the hair game, the Beloved actress has been a leading lady of natural hair representation. Before there were Instagram hashtags and Youtube gurus, she was one of the first hip hop generation/Generation X actresses to wear her natural tresses on screen as well as on the red carpet.
