I have no idea if it's still on air but I used to be OBSESSED w/ Michonne on The Walking Dead
When I think about strong female characters she's one of my Top 5. The amount of dedication, focus, and reserve it takes to even be a master swordsman is displayed in all her scenes.

Danai Gurira is beautiful! Like she doesnt even have to try. Michonne is amazing because she's intelligent, calculating, resourceful, and well prepared. I'm convinced she's the best character.
Nessa Parker on Empire!
They thought we were gonna forget her but she was eatting Tiana up! Sierra McClain bodied this role! Nessa never backed down. She showed up and owned her space at Empire and one the stage!

Jennifer Pierce on Black Lightning!
The most powerful pierce. Queen of Garfeild. I'm only on season 2 so she's still learning to control her powers and stuff but it's so cool! It's like she create energy, manipulate it, and project it as lightning bolts.

I identify with her character so much. She's a mess! I'm a mess! Bitches be messy! Damn! Besides being fucking hilarious. Issa tries to stay true her values and make a difference in her community and the lives of her friends.
It's Issa Rae duh.

Issa's main bitch. A ride or die. Powerful lawyer. Calling the shots and taking em neat. Equally as funny. Crazy as hell. Even though she's successful she has insecurities she's learning to overcome.

Toni Childs on Girlfriends
Ladies! Toni was a come up queen. Humble beginnings but the attitude of an uptown heiress. Toni knew her past was not her future. She manifested her own success as a real estate agent and (briefly) married some money!
