Miss Juneteenth - A Sundance supported film release
Built like a bird, Turquoise Jones is a single mom who holds down a household, rebellious teenager, and pretty much everything that goes down at Wayman's BBQ and Lounge. Turquoise is also a bona fide beauty queen-she was once crowned Miss Juneteenth, a title commemorating the day slavery was abolished in Texas. Life didn't turn out as beautifully as the title promised, but turquoise, determined to right her wrongs, is cultivating her daughter, Kai, to become miss Juneteenth, even if Kai wants something else.
