This Is Bigger Than Us - Part 2

New season, who det!? 

Like sands through the hour glass, so are our rambles on this award-winner! 

 

PS. The Black Sterring awards are cooking in kitchen... 

This Is Bigger Than Us - Part 1

New season, who det!?

Childhood is where it begins and ends. We explore family vs selfhood in this award-winning series many have rightly called emotional porn. So, for the love of feels (and sex?), let's rock! 

And the Final Category is... Pose (feat: Salmaan AKA Sally Werq)

We are dusting down our precious first season with none other than Pose, which also wrapped up their third and final season (SCREAMING). Can the community please stand up? 

On Shonda's rhyme and reason

There is a method to Shonda Rhymes' madness. We zoom in on the self-proclaimed titan's award-winning stress-inducing dramaverse. S/o to Phetha, who is a huge nerd for Shondaland! Let's rock! 

Living Single and the Archetypes of Sitcoms

It's the turn of the sitcom. This time around we're looking back at the OG on which many formats and their Friends (gerrit?) were built. Join us we pay homage to the beautiful black women of Living Single. 

Lit Fires Everywhere

We go fire pon di mic on episode 7 with Little Fires Everywhere starring Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon. It's a deep dive into what motherhood and childhood look like across the intersections of race, class, neurosis and loss. 

Blood & Water: Bana ba di Model C

There's nothing quite like a teen drama because, honestly, that's where all the drama began. On episode 6 we go back to high school with Netflix original, Blood & Water starring black women in lead roles. We had some thoughts (and confetti!).  

The Ish-World of Kenya Barris

Showrunners are up! On episode 5 we take stock of Kenya Barris' universe of black identity, politics and culture in Black-ish, Grown-ish, Mixed-ish and Black AF. 

I May Destroy You(r Idea of Consent)

Take a shot of something strong and zero in on I May Destroy You with us on episode 4. We're unpacking consent via the The HBO-BBC show by the outstanding Michaela Coel.
