The Black Sterring

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.  

How To Ruin Christmas & Other Messtivities

The plug may've been pulled on Dezemba but SA's Netflix Original, How To Ruin Christmas, kept the current up. On episode 3, we look at homegrown nostalgia and all the black-women tropes we're used to in this feel-good mini-series that feels like home.

Insecure S4: Growing Up & Apart

On this second episode of our Insecure deep dive, we look at endings. We unpack the friendships between black women through the trials that Molly and Issa face as well as romantic cross-roads via Lawrence and Issa. Issa lot.
