DIVAs, stay calm. This is not a drill. The incredible, iconic, ally extraordinaire Jennifer Beals is back on the cover of DIVA once again. You can thank us later.
Getting ready to launch her new book The L Word: A Photographic Journal in April, our very own editor-in-chief Roxy Bourdillon caught up with the star to learn more about why art can be such a powerful act of resistance. Touching on everything from the power of fandom to that highly anticipated reboot, you don’t want to miss this cover story.
Here’s your teaser on what Jennifer had to say in this issue (which is available to order now at divadirect.info).
On whether we’re going to see an L Word reboot: “A return of The L Word? That would be wonderful”
On the power of art in resistance: “Revolution isn’t just about protests. It’s also about culture, storytelling, imagery”
On working on The L Word set: “Being with these extraordinary women, supporting them and having them support me was life changing”
