On Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at iPic Atlanta Theater Mona Scott-Young hosted a special screening of Netflix’s new limited series, GRISELDA, starring Sofia Vergara. The series premieres on January 25.
The intimate screening included special guests: Eva Marcille, Yandy Smith and Mendeecees Harris, Tameka Foster-Raymond, Arturo Ayers Jr. Carmen Simmons and more.
Mona Scott-Young shared with guests episode 1, and spoke on the power of Sofia’s performance in the series, and what it means to be a BOSS (La Jefa), “I think watching this series, you will see we are all pushing our own kind of product…but what she [Griselda] also had was determination and passion and commitment to what it was she was doing. And she did it against all odds. And she did it in a world that was dominated by men. “
“In watching this series, there was a lot I could relate to. In watching this woman’s struggle and Sofia Vergara who not only produces the series, but also stars in it and does an amazing job. That’s another element I could relate to. Strong women doing what they do best.”
Following the screening, guests attended a private reception at Rumi’s Kitchen.
Limited Series releasing on January 25th, 2024 on NETFLIX. www.netflix.com/Griselda
