On episode 2, the show opens with Melonee shouting out her mother’s home village that has mysteriously disappeared from existence but wtf are their reparations?! Speaking of which, why did Joe think $20K was enough and Black women are disproportionately impacted by student debt. Chile please! Natalie finds herself haphazardly a contestant on Thee Miss Black Ass America Pageant. What did she say that lead to her triumphant win?
OTPW/Friends welcomes Chandra Kamaria Harkins, Melonee’s artistic Black rage big sister-little sister kind of friend who loves to talk about love. How do we learn about love and our capacity for love with and through our friends? Have Black women been conditioned by our families and society to only see love as an act of service? This episode is jam-packed with gems so we had to split it into two.
