What impact has Black Panther made in your life? 

I remember seeing Black Panther for the first time on opening night, in a sold-out crowd.

It was such a different experience than seeing any other movie.

It almost felt like I was looking into a mirror, like I was finally being seen for the first time.

I could only imagine how much the movie impacted little black boys and girls, who are seeing themselves portrayed as superheroes on the big screen. 

I hope that representation continues to diversify in the film industry.

Representation motivates people worldwide to reach for the stars and chase their dreams. 

Which of these Black Panther quotes and lines is your favorite?

Is there another superhero movie that Everyday Power should showcase?
