Ava DuVernay’s Queen Sugar will have an all-female director line up for its upcoming third season.
Both Ava DuVernay and Oprah Winfrey have been vocal in their pursuit of gender equality, particularly within the film and TV industry and, on a number of occasions, have worked to highlight the disproportionate lack of female directors.
Queen Sugar won the 2017 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Drama Series.
