A viral challenge for Women’s History Month is in full effect, and “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” alum Joseline Hernandez decided to participate.
Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter took to her Instagram last week, urging Hollywood women to finish the month of March off with a fun yet empowering dance challenge, adding the hashtag “#WomenDancingTogether.”

“Ladies! Let’s have some fun for the rest of #WomensHistoryMonth and show the world when women unite anything is possible,” Carter said in an Instagram video on March 20. “Upload a video dancing and/or lip syncing to your favorite Women’s Empowerment Song. Use this same caption and nominate three women who inspire you to keep it going and don’t forget to use the hashtag #WomenDancingTogether 🎵.”
It’s unclear if Hernandez was nominated by one of her friends or family members to partake in the challenge, but the star came through with a dance video of her own. She took to Instagram on Tuesday, wearing a vibrant red silk top, Flamenco tutu skirt and black combat boots from PrettyLittleThing.

A friend of Hernandez appeared to be recording her walking down a Miami street as she swayed to Chaka Khan‘s single “Ain’t Nobody.” She wrote in her Instagram caption, “#womendancingtogetherchallenge.”
Fans of the self-proclaimed “Puerto Rican Princess” pointed out a white man in her video who seemed confused about why she was dancing on the sidewalk.
“Funny the dude in the back is so confused 🤣 he’s shook!”
