Young Girl Portrays Angela Bassett for Black History Month

Stardom awaits a seven-year-old named Rosie in Detroit, Michigan, after her electrifying tribute to Angela Bassett to celebrate Black History Month.

Rosie’s mother, Kenya White, who posted the video to Facebook, told Storyful that Rosie loves performing as famous Black women all year long, but “puts in extreme effort and dope creativity” in February when Black History Month comes around.

With help from her 17-year-old sister, who used green screen to show various images of Bassett in the background, Rosie donned multiple outfits to depict characters that were played by Bassett through the years.

“Rosie is a big fan of Angela Bassett,” White told Storyful. “Not from roles she’s more famous for, but because Angela plays the mom on ‘Akeelah and the Bee’ and that’s Rosie’s favorite movie.” Credit: Kenya White via Storyful

- I'm Angela Bassett, actress and producer. Fun fact, I was the first Black of my high school to be admitted in the National Honor Society. I play a lot of roles-- Bernadine, "Waiting to Exhale," Rosa Parks from "The Rosa Parks Story," Betty Shabazz, and Malcolm X. And that's naming a few. I was Tina Turner in "What's Love Got To Do With It". For that role I was the first African-American to receive a Golden Globe award for Best Actress. I won Golden Globe Award for [INAUDIBLE].

I'm a Hollywood icon. When you are told you're not good enough, not only you are good enough, you're more than enough. Me, Angela Bassett.
