Watch These Women Making Money Moves
Here at the Sesh Loft, we LOVE a good binge-worthy show or movie. But do you know what we love even more? Seeing women empowered in their career and getting the attention/credit they deserve. So we decided to combine the 2 (productions & empowered women) by creating a list of eight of our favorite shows with Strong Female Lead you can watch right now.
How To Get Away With Murder:
This legal thriller follows the main character, Annalise Keating – a strong willed no nonsense woman -, who goes above and beyond to protect her students. From sex, drugs, and murder, this show-stopping original will leave you speechless and hell, maybe even learn a thing or 2 you didnt know about the constitution.
My Mad Fat Diary:
Set in Lincolnshire, troubled teen Rae is confronted with mental health issues, boys and school. Based on the book “My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary” this teen drama series encompasses the high-school experience and it’s embarrassing moments. Prepare to cringe.
Star:
Lee Daniels’ latest series “Star” has several female characters. Based on 3 women who yearn for a chance in the music industry only to realize it’s terribly flawed.
