Chandler Kinney & Amandla Stenberg Step Out For Essence's Black Women In Hollywood Oscars Luncheon

Chandler Kinney steps out in style with Amandla Stenberg for the 2018 Essence Black Women In Hollywood Oscars Luncheon held at Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Thursday evening (March 1) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The event honored actresses Tiffany Haddish, Danai Gurira, Tessa Thompson and writer/director Lena Waithe; and will air TONIGHT, March 3rd @ 10PM ET/PT on Own.

If you missed it, Amandla just opened up about stepping back from her Black Panther audition to give more dark-skinned actors a chance to star in the movie.

“That was really challenging, to make that decision, but I have no regrets. I recognize 100 per cent that there are spaces that I should not take up and when I do take up a space it’s because I’ve thought really, really critically about it and I’ve consulted people I really trust and it feels right,” she shared.
