We Got Now, We Don’t Care Who Got Next: 9 Black Women In Starring Roles On Television Right Now (And They’re Killing It!)
Gina Torres as Jessica Lourdes Pearson
Laurence Fishburne’s real life leading lady has a pretty dominant role on the USA Network’s Suits. If you’re willing to give it a try, the show is actually very entertaining and Torres plays Jessica Lourdes Pearson, co-founding and managing partner of the Pearson/Hardman law firm. She brings a lot of sass but even more knowledge (aka good sense) to the other lawyers. She’s the good looking Head Sister In Charge and is the definition of no-nonsense on the slick legal drama.
