“The show is neither a positive nor negative light on Black people and their experience in America. It was merely recognition of the inherent humanity of Black people. It showcased the normality, the pain, the happiness, sexuality, and depth of each human as they relate to others.”
Read the whole article and catch up on this show on YouTube. It’s totally worth it.

this show.
this show was everything. we need more shows like it. now.
One of my favorite shows EVER. Now that I think about it a lot of my faves are women ensemble shows: Golden Girls, Living Single, Girlfriends, Gilmore Girls (which kind of fits).
Kimbra “Settle Down”
I cannot stop listening to this song. And it’s definitely one of those where you catch yourself dancing before you pay attention the lyrics. And then I’m always like, I don’t want any of this…but I’m going to continue dancing anyway.

Please check out the short film Crossover on Futurestates.tv First of all cause the director is Tina Mabry and also because it was my first major short film I was able to work on and assistant edit!
That was awesome!! And the premise isn’t that far off from where we are now education-wise.
Synopsis from the site: In a future where schools are segregated by economic status, a struggling mother must decide whether to sell her own organs to give her children a better education.

Good stuff.
This is kind of brilliant.
LOVE THIS! “we’re talking to you…..” lol

an indulgent disaster of epic proportions: How To Ruin Your Life
Get stuck. Stay in one place your whole life. Always order vanilla even though the menu is four pages long. Become the type of person who sends back lattes. Save up your money for a plasma TV instead of a plane ticket. Talk a lot about things you know nothing about. Have an affair with someone…
