Bill Duke is heading back to OWN with a controversial new documentary named "Light Girls." Watch the trailer inside and see pics of Ray J and Garcelle Beauvais at a fundraiser for Eric Garner's family.
Next month, Bill Duke follows-up his acclaimed documentary "Dark Girls," with "Light Girls," airing on Monday, January 19 at 9 pm ET/PT.
Much like its predecessor, "Light Girls" featuring an in-depth look into colorism around the globe, but this time, the stories are told from the perspective of light-skinned women.
For one of the first times on television, serious attention is paid to questions like "Do "Light Girls" have social advantages? Easier lives? Are light-skinned children treated differently?
The documentary explores skin color from historical, sociological, psychological and scientific perspectives, and will include interviews with Soledad O'Brien, Diahann Carroll, India Arie, Iyanla Vanzant, Michaela Angela Davis, Kym Whitley, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Russell Simmons and more.
In LA.....
Last night, "Hollywood Exes" star Sheree Fletcher and Ray J both served on the host committee for #United For Justice, a fundraiser for the family of Eric Garner. The event was held in the penthouse of the Hotel Angelino in LA. Guests were asked to donate $20 with all of the proceeds going to Mrs. Garner and their children.
Sheree posed with other members of the host committee Sandra Campbell, Diann Valentine and April Daniels.
The lovely Garcelle Beauvias walked the red carpet in leather overalls, with a fur coat drapped over her shoulders. She's recently landed a role in Barbershop 3.
Sheree's co-star Daphne Wayans was there to support the cause.
Mike Epps' wife Mechelle also stepped out for a good cause.
Tiffney Cambridge smiled for the cameras.
