She's Got A Job!

After slugging through Entertainment Weekly's woeful Race on TV feature in the current issue (with Angelina Jolie on the cover), I'm happy to report that a Black actress has found a job -- and it's on TV! Sophina Brown, who as Raina was only my second reason for watching Shark (the first being Henry Simmons' bare chest) is joining the cast of CBS drama Numbers this Fall (yes, CBS which as EW reports has the distinction of ranking dead last when it comes to diversity). Congrats to Sophina - her hair is to die for!- and let's hope to see more brown faces on a TV screen near you soon.
