Alongside Whoopi Goldberg, Danielle is set to portray Emmett Till's mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, in the upcoming film Till. Directed by Chinonye Chukwu, Mamie Till-Mobley's pursuit of justice for her son will serve as the film's focal point. "It is a gift to learn the legacy and intimacies of our ancestors, those familial and communal, as is the life of Mamie Till-Mobley, a public leader and mother of the movement," Danielle told Variety about being cast in the film. We can't wait to see her bring this important part of American history to the big screen!
