The next morning, Violet is preparing breakfast, but Clint insists she sits at the table, and cuts onions. He proposes with an onion ring and she says yes. Both she and her mom are excited, and Violet's friends are told the wedding is in three months.

Lathan cut her hair for the 2018 film Nappily Ever After, in which her character shaves her head on her own natural hair journey.

Nappily Ever After opens with its thirtysomething protagonist, Violet (played as an adult by Sanaa Lathan and as a child by Gabrielle Manning), as an 11-year-old girl at a pool party, forbidden by her mother (Lynn Whitfield) from getting in the water lest her straightened hair curl into its natural state.

But, I'm suprised this movie got away with a pg-13 rating. Right at the beginning there's a highly concetrated almost 1.5 minute sex scene (even if there isn't nudity, it's focused enough to feel like a R rated scene instead of a PG-13 one).
