Much like the character she plays in the blockbuster movie Black Panther, Janeshia Adams-Ginyard knows about staying strong in the face of adversity. In the film, the Dora Milaje are a group of female special-forces soldiers for the fictional African nation of Wakanda, who also serve as the personal bodyguards of Black Panther, the nation's leader. Janeshia Adams-Ginyard says one reason Black Panther is resonating with audiences is because it shows women and minorities as powerful characters. Janeshia Adams-Ginyard brought an inspirational message for young people to an event hosted by INI Diversity at the Genesis Centre. Along with Black Panther, Adams-Ginyard has appeared in a number of hit TV shows including Fear The Walking Dead and American Horror Story.
